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]

  • Well you have to have to Unlock four of the five nameplates Halo PC, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, or the Halo: Reach Beta to earn the Master Chief's MJOLNIR Mk VI helmet nameplate. To get the Halo CE Nameplate, you have to download the game to your hard rive on your PC/MAC and then enter your Activation Key that you got with Halo CE on your Bungie.net profile.

  • Is there any way of getting the Halo: Combat Evolved nameplate if we own the original Xbox version?

  • Alright to begin with, I don't have the CD for my Halo PC game, but I still have the box for the game right here, It still has a sticker on it with some of the product info, but it doesn't have the key listed anywhere on it. So is there anyway I can use the box itself to track down my Product Key? This is so I can grab my visual flair also too :P [Edited on 10.16.2010 2:03 PM PDT]

  • Has anybody had any luck with contacting Support for issues with the Halo PC nameplate? The page says my key has already been redeemed, which unless Target was selling pirated games a few years back shouldn't be the case. I sent Sawnose a message something like a week ago, and have yet to get a reply. Email support told me to try a different browser, and hasn't responded to my followup email explaining that it didn't work. Anyone having any success?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Acid GuardianPT Actually now the rights to Halo CE belong to Microsoft or something like that, so they can't check. Plus the old Live is gone. But Vista is even easier, since there are actual achievements as proof and if that's not enough there's a CD key we can use. These things are all online. It makes me mad... damn I want that sexy H2 flair lol.[/quote] i have the H2 flair :P but i want H1 one... xD

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Acid GuardianPT Yes but couldn't they validate Vista users the same way they did for Halo CE and Marathon? By using your CD key or checking your game history? I don't believe it would be that hard. The crap reputation H2V has is legendary, but come on, at least give us a reason to buy it. [/quote] just as halo ce xbox :( they can check hdd saves, or i can send them a photo of campaign completion or i can send them the game itself <.<

  • Maybe because Bungie had more involved in the project, or because they couldn't validate the Xbox Version they went with PC. Since Halo 2 had Xbox Live, they could confirm it. And Marathon was made by Bungie. So I highly doubt its coming for Vista.

  • What about Halo 2 Vista? Any flair coming our way? Come on, Halo PC has it, and it wasn't ported by Bungie either. Even Marathon has a special nameplate! Why don't they add it, it shouldn't be that hard. I still have my CD key, and achievements to prove it.

I still have the beta on my harddrive, and watch replays with it. I looked in the nameplates, and apparently I have no game history of halo 2, and no nameplate? :/ And another thing, is there anyway to render a reach beta replay? I found a perfection I thought I didnt save, and I guess theres no way to upload it? o.O[/quote] no answer to my problem? =(
