Editing in game text?

I've seen it done, but I cannot find any information on it.
The text I'm talking about are things like "You killed...", "Double Kill", etc etc.
I've searched through these forums and others too, but no luck.
Does anyone have any information on this?

download a hex editor and search for "warthog" or something like that
however with warthog make it w.a.r.t.h.o.g
then replace the bytes of the periods with 0x00
hit search and then change the letters

What file would I edit though?
Would I edit the maps?
If so, would I directly edit the .map files, or would I have to edit the cached maps?

Cached maps. And also, for the "You killed" etc text, you need to search for strings in the XBE, if it's the NTSC version, anyway.

If it's in the XBE, where is it cached? I already searched the original XBE. But either way, wouldn't moddifying the XBE not allow me to play on system link(with other people that have the original XBE)

Noo, I meant that text in mapfiles, like weapon names, are in the cached mapfiles found in the x,y,z drives. The "You killed" strings are found in the default.xbe file as normal.
