Revision as of 17:14, April 1, 2012

Nameplates are small icons (seen in pre-game/post-game lobbies showing player's Gamertags) that can be customized depending on certain requirements. Although nameplate emblems have existed since Halo 2 & Halo 3 in the form of small Seventh Column symbols or the Bungie logo, they have not been customizable until Halo: Reach. Nameplates were first mentioned early 2010, when Halo 2[1] was being shutdown and again when Halo PC users were told to keep their CD codes.[2]

Players could customize their nameplates by signing up as Bungie.net users until March 31, 2012 when Bungie.net transferred all record-keeping responsibilities to Halo Waypoint[3] and this capability was lost. Halo Waypoint has not yet incorporated nameplates; players are effectively stuck with whichever nameplate they currently have.
