Nameplates: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:42, November 29, 2010

Template:Ratings 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. 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]
