Stupid titles under friends

First of all, let me explain what I mean by the topic - For example, when you're playing MW2, your friends will see you as "Modern Warfare 2 Playing Free For All in Afghan" and when you're playing Brink, your friends will see you as "Brink Rescuing a hostage from Resistance" and things like that.

I think it's ridiculous and it doesn't look any good. It should say "Brink" and "Modern Warfare 2"... looks better. I really don't know why developers want to add extra description to show what the player is doing. They're probably stupid.

Well, I liked the way Xbox did it. Which is kinda the way PSN did it but they aren't as "clean"(?) about it.

I agree I just liked "Brink" and "COD" I don't care what they are doing on the game I just wanna know what they are playing :P

While it doesn't look great, just odd, it is helpful if you just went on, and you see a friend playing the same game you will, but you see he is playing a match so you don't invite him and begin to annoy him, and you know when he is done. You don't know how many times on Uncharted 2 people kept messageing me while I was playing a match, it was annoying

I'd like it to state the game and then whether the friend is online or offline within it. So, "Brink - Online" or "MW2 - Offline", etc. :)

It doesn't look odd to me, and I think it's a great idea. It's definitely more useful/practical, b/c you don't want to send an invite to a friend for online multiplayer while he/she is in the middle of his/her single player experience! It's that simple, and more games should do that. There's a reason why big name videogame devs like Treyarch and Infiinityward and Naughty Dog do it...
