Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection

There are Nameplates in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Unlike in Halo: Reach players can switch nameplates in-game. The dozens of nameplates in the collection must be unlocked before they can be used. Most are unlocked along with accompanying achievements; while certain nameplates are unlocked for playing other Halo games, or making notable contributions to the community. Like the player's emblem, the nameplate is used for all games in the collection.

Trivia

 * The Ugly Holiday Sweater nameplate was initially planned to be granted to MCC Insiders who completed 12 or more matches in an Insider official session during the networking stress test held between 15 and 16 December 2018. However, due to a bug which delayed the December update to the game, the namemplate was never delivered to the Insiders. As compensation, they were granted with the 343 Ice nameplate. The Ugly Holiday Sweater, originally planned to be earned by the rest of the playerbase in 2018, then became unlockable in 2019.
 * The removed nameplates originally earned by reaching the ranks between 44 and 50 were based on the last seven ranks of Halo 2.
 * Initially, each nameplate's preview panel features a thumbnail image distinct from the actual nameplates. After the release of Halo 3 on PC on July 14, 2020, the preview panel only shows the nameplate.
