Subject: Official thread for nameplate unlock support

I can't change my opinion, but I can change yours. My goal with an argument, is to make you change yours, not mine - I want to make you think.

I can't choose my Nameplate, how do I do it. I keeps me on default, I can't choose witch one to use. Help.

Having problems with the Halo CE flair. I tried my code about a week ago, but due to spamming tries when I'd missed out a letter (I was seriously wtfing, and then realised my code was too short..) I was told I'd tried too many times and to come back later. Fair enough.

Anyway, finally got round to doing it again, and after putting the code in perfectly well...Im told that I've tried too many times and to come back in 24 hours, despite this being my first attempt for a week. Any help?

Will I get the AR nameplate if I deleted the Beta off my hard drive? (I have a really old 16gb one so space is limited) If so it would explain why I don't have the beta shirt on Avatar

Bungie's data isn't dependent on the beta being on your HD.

Sorry, I haven't read the last few pages, but I have the following flairs;

The Septagon
Assasult Rifle
Designated Marksman Rifle
Marathon Durandal
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST


Do I qualify for the Spartan Helmet flair and if so, when will it appear on my Nameplates page?

  • 09.08.2010 3:36 PM PDT

You need to have Every Halo retail game released by BUNGIE in order to unlock the spartan helmet, INCLUDING REACH, so if you have CE 2 3 and ODST played, you will be ok.

Yes, you do qualify. Also, we have no idea when they could change it. The Web Team could decide to change it right now or tomorrow, but I think it's safe to assume they will change it before Reach releases.

  • 09.08.2010 8:51 PM PDT

Question, if I try to enter a code during the "try again in 24 hours message" time period.will the 24 hour clock reset if I try it in the middle of the day before it's 24 hours?

Yay!! Spartan Helmet.

Thank you Viperconn.

Im 20, obviously loves video games, construction, and legos. I enjoy mostly shooter and driving/flying games or combination of the both.

I can't seem to unlock my nameplates, i know I have at least 4 or 5 unlcoked, but i can't choose any of them. When i go to the Nameplate screen, only the Halo CE/PC plate has a "submit" button on it. Do I need to do anything to bring up the submit or unlock buttons?

PS- I dont see the DMR nameplate either on the list.

  • 09.08.2010 11:16 PM PDT

this keeps hapening to me!

Yes you do.

If you have a 4 nameplate combination of either:

Halo: CE
Halo: 2
Halo: 3
Halo: 3 ODST
Halo: Reach beta

You will get the spartan nameplate.

Give it a day or two? Are you sure you entered it in correctly that last time?

i'm stuck on the you must wait 24hrs to enter the code its been 24hours but keeps coming back

  • 09.09.2010 6:36 AM PDT

GET AT ME BRO!

It says "There was an error loading this page. Please try again later."

well its been a week and still i get that message. wtf is going on here?

  • 09.09.2010 8:52 AM PDT
  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

Does anybody have any information about the "It appears you tried to many times. Try again in 24 hours." situation some of us are having?

I am fairly sure I tried too many times around now yesterday (was missing a letter apparently). Tried again just now, still says I need to wait 24 hours. Did I reset my clock by trying again early?

I'm thinking I might just give it a day or two and try this weekend, but I'd like to get my code redeemed ASAP. Anybody else having trouble with the 24 hour cooldown?

  • 09.09.2010 10:41 AM PDT

I've got a question.

The nameplate will only show in the profile if you have the option to use it? Correct?

Yes, that would be the logical deduction :)

Yes, only the ones you unlocked, and the ones that require a CD key (Halo: CE PC nameplate) will appear.

  • 09.09.2010 11:20 AM PDT

but couldnt they just look up my download history...like what if Bungie just collaborated with Microsoft on that? that just seems like a way to do it and give all of us who at least downloaded the Halo CE game from games on demand a way in. idk

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.

Weekly Update with the general overview: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link =BWU_082010


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 Halo 2 data for you? (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.



ok, but what about if you recently bought a copy of Halo CE for PC with a legit Key?
