Talk:Nameplates

I think the spartan helmet nameplate for Reach may be the "exclusive digital content" mentioned for the legendary edition. FATGUNN 02:53, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Star Emblem
"The Star emblem – Unlocked once you have played Halo Reach On Your LIVE Account."

Anyone knows where this info comes from? I don't remember it being mentioned anywhere. ---dky 00:12, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's false. The Star Emblem is unlocked for a person by Bungie, for doing "something incredible" (I think that was the wording of it) on your Reach account. Canadian x360a 09:14, 15 November 2010 (EST)

Information about obtaining Nameplate images from BNet, quoted from the old Halo Wikia.
Noticed this was added to the talkpage of this article on the old Halopedia, figured I'd post it here:

"Finding images of all the nameplates wasn't all that hard. Bungie *tried* to randomize the filenames of each one, but instead they used a mathematical formula for each nameplate; 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8=16, etc. Here's the complete list of nameplate URLs:


 * "0.jpg" - Blank
 * "1.jpg" - Septagon
 * "2.jpg" - DMR
 * "4.jpg" - Bungie Logo
 * "8.jpg" - Marathon
 * "16.jpg" - Halo 1
 * "32.jpg" - Halo 2
 * "64.jpg" - Halo 3
 * "128.jpg" - ODST
 * "256.jpg" - Assault Rifle
 * "512.jpg" - Spartan Helmet
 * "1024.jpg" - "Halo"
 * "2048.jpg" - Star

Now, mathematically speaking, the next nameplate would be numbered "4096.jpg" (link is dead as there are no "secret" nameplates...yet). How do I know this? 2048 + 2048 = 4096. Follow the formula. Take the number of the previous filename, add it to itself, and the result is the next filename. If Bungie is as predictable as this, I'd keep an eye on that 4096.jpg link.

I've already taken the liberty of updating the Nameplate image to include the Bungie logo" - Copied from the Talk:Nameplates article on the old Halopedia @ Wikia.com Canadian x360a 13:52, 3 November 2010 (EDT)

Halo 3 "Bungie" Nameplate
I've been trying to find the URL to the Bungie nameplate for Halo 3, but I've had no success. Here's the URL for the basic blank H3 nameplates, and the Septagon H3 nameplate:


 * "player300_default.jpg" - Blank
 * "player300.jpg" - Septagon

I've tried "player300_bungie.jpg", "player300_b.jpg", "player300_alternate.jpg", "player300_employee" and many other things, but nothing has brought up the Bungie Employee H3 nameplate yet. I guess the search is on. Canadian x360a 09:16, 15 November 2010 (EST)
