'''Nameplates''' are small icons seen in pre | '''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<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_042310 '''Bungie.net''': ''This is the End'']</ref> was being shutdown and again when Halo PC users were told to keep their CD codes.<ref>[http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/07/31/bungie-giving-halo-combat-evolved-pc-players-a-parting-shout-out.aspx '''Game Informer''': ''Bungie Giving Halo: Combat Evolved PC Players A Parting Shout Out'']</ref> | ||
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]]<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32028 Final Transition for Bungie.net Halo Services]</ref> and this capability was lost.

Unlike in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' players can switch nameplates in-game in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. The dozens of nameplates in the collection must be unlocked before they can be used. Most are unlocked along with accompanying achievements; the ''Spartan Strike'' nameplate is unlocked for playing ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''. Like player's emblem, the nameplate is used for all games in the collection. | |||
