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)

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)
