Official thread for nameplate unlock support

Please keep it clean and productive in here. Don't post your cd key (duh), and don't debate our criteria for granting nameplates. Please do help steer people with questions to the answers we've provided. News post with specific instructions: [url]http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid28173[/url] Weekly Update with the general overview: [url]http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_082010[/url] Thanks! FAQ part 1: Q: What's the format for entering keys? A: Caps doesn't matter. Dashes do. Follow the example on the page. Q: What if I change my gamertag? A: If you simply *rename* your gamertag on your existing XBL account, that's fine. Bungie.net might not link to your game history until you play online again, (because Xbox doesn't proactively notify us about the name change) but once you play again, it'll correct itself. (It might take until overnight for your Halo 2 record to catch up with the change when we automatically sort out problems like that) Q: What if I relink my account to a different gamertag? A: See FAQ 2 below Q: How long do I have to do this? A: We haven't set a cutoff date. We might eventually set one, well past Reach launch, but that's undecided. When you consider that this "Bungie Legacy Games" data can potentially be used to similar purpose for all Bungie games into the far future (but no promises!) giving even a few month window for registering the 7-year-old Halo 1 PC game seems awfully short. There will be PC fans who might not catch the news for a long time. Q: How do I choose a nameplate? A: The same page where you register them will let you choose from all the options you've earned like Halo 3, once you've played Reach. Q: I just played Marathon XBLA and it hasn't shown up on my gamercard yet A: The gamercard comes directly from MS's servers, and they cache that data for a while. Come back in half an hour or so and try again. Also, the demo version doesn't show up on the gamercard, you need to play the full version. Some people have luck paying another game afterwards to force it to change. Q: Will I get the Halo 2 flair? A: Do we have [url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/playerstatshalo2.aspx]Halo 2 data for you[/url]? (If I did that link right, then if you're signed in, it should try and bring you to your Halo 2 stats page. The link is gone from the top of the website, but the page is still there via a tab on your Halo 3 service record. If you see data for yourself, then you'll get the emblem. There was no date window for eligibility. Any games there count. Q: What about Halo 1 Xbox via Games on Demand? A: Bungie is no longer part of Microsoft and we simply do not have access to the purchase data for this game, nor does it register online. It shows up in the console's recent games list, but not your gamercard for us to see. It's out of our hands. FAQ 2: Q: What if I link my gamertag to a different Live ID? A: The unlocks will stick to your gamertag/Live account, not your Passport/LiveID account. (This is good - it means it won't break the "supercombine" you might have earned. ********************** Q: Help! It says my key has already been redeemed! ********************** A: I asked a bunch of people to PM me their keys when this happened, and guess what? Almost everyone sent me the same few keys! It looks like either people forgot they got their key on a warez site, or else accidentally bought a counterfeit copy of the game via a distributor who printed the same key with every CD they clone. If you're getting this error and wonder if it's the cause, try this experiment: paste the first two blocks of letters (XXXXX-XXXXX) into Google - does your full key come up on a Halo warez/torrent page? Bad news, it's not a legit copy. That's been the case for all the PM'ed keys I've tried. Overall, from the thousands of valid keys entered in the 16 hours the page has been up, it looks like things are running smoothly for the vast majority of users. FAQ 3: Q: I can't choose any unlocks, even though I should have some. A: There's a browser compat problem which will be fixed soon, that prevents you from seeing the buttons to unlock your nameplates. If you're in IE8, turn of compat mode (the torn-page icon by the address bar) or use another browser. [Edited on 09.21.2010 2:04 PM PDT]

  • You said you purchased Halo 2 for Pc (I didn't even know they sold that) and entered the activation key to get the "Halo Pc nameplate". Now the Halo PC nameplate, that I think your talking about, is the Halo CE symbol not the Halo 2 symbol. So you can't activate the Halo Ce nameplate with the Halo 2 activation code, you need to put in a Halo CE code to get that nameplate. Now if your talking about the Halo 2 nameplate. You would of needed to play Halo 2 on xbl before it's decommission. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Sgt Hogwash [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Halo biggest fan It's Halo: CE on Halo 2. [/quote] I dont understand. Can you explain it to me like i don't know anything. please.[/quote]

  • It's Halo: CE on Halo 2. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Sgt Hogwash I know its a little late but i rescently recieved my Halo 2 Pc game. I have tried to put in the product key to recieve the halo Pc nameplate but it came up with an error saying "We've had a problem with your request, please try again." Is the problem that the game is Halo 2 for Pc not Halo CE for Pc? I have tried to re-enter the code so many times that it now says "It appears you've tried and failed too many times. Try again in a little while." How long do i have to wait before i retry?[/quote]

  • Click on this [url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/playerstatshalo2.aspx]link[/url]; If nothing showed up then you have never played Halo 2 on your Gsmerstag. But if your rcent games showed up then it's probably because you didn't play Halo 2 before it's decommission. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wickenheiserr [/quote] This could help, how to get the Halo 2 Nameplate If you played Halo 2 over Xbox Live before the Hushed Casket closed, we're giving you access to the Halo 2 nameplate. If you didn't, we won't. Since we don't have access to Xbox Live account history, we aren't able to verify whether or not you played Halo 2 on a seperate account.

  • You can't transfer data from account to account; The only way you'll get that data is if you recover your old xbl account. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ill will90 [/quote] - I'm guessing your talking about Bungie All Stars? If so, your only allowed one entry per contest. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jojogabel13 Are you only allowed 1 entry or can you enter more then once?[/quote]

  • don't know if anybody has asked this but will ask anyway. On my old xbl account I have played Halo 2 since day one and there are stats for it on that link. However, when I bought an xbox 360 I made a new account on a different email (not knowing about the recover account). Is there anyway I can transfer that Halo 2 data onto my new account, in order to get the nameplate?

  • It should be linked to the gamerstag. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Coxx153 Is the Halo CE plate attached to the gamertag or the bungie.net user? If I was going to relink a gamertag onto my account from a different account where I had my Halo CE nameplate, would I lose it?[/quote]

  • How to get the Halo 2 Nameplate: If you played Halo 2 over Xbox Live before the Hushed Casket closed, we're giving you access to the Halo 2 nameplate. If you didn't, we won't. Since we don't have access to Xbox Live account history, we aren't able to verify whether or not you played Halo 2 on a seperate account. So if you played Halo 2 before "Hushed Casket closed", then you will be good. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BillinghayFish If my gamercard has recorded me playing Halo 2 before the servers shut down, can I still get teh nameplate? I was issued the 400 free mp and 3 free months of xbox live for playing online, but my stats aren't recorded. I want my Spartan Helmet.[/quote]

  • Well if you played Halo 2 before it's shut down, then your gamertag has the nameplate. But you can't use that nameplate until you access your gamerstag again. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CT5108 If I played Halo 2 online but cannot access the the gamertag anymore, is there nothing I can do to get the associated nameplate?[/quote]

  • Yeah, if they handed out stars to everyone who submitted something for the contest....well....that would be a lot of stars. If you get featured in the update, check your game settings, and see if you have the nameplate. Not everyone who gets featured gets a nameplate though. :-) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Halo biggest fan You don't just get a star for submitting a photo; Just wait until the weekly update to find out if you were featured, and got a star.
