Subject: Halo Reach: Halo 2 nameplate?

Ian here.
I'm a repeated Halo addict, I've played every game in the series, campaign beat, etc. So happened that when I discovered that the original Xbox servers were shut down BEFORE I played Halo 2 with my new, Live-enabled gamertag? I was furious. It meant that the Halo 2 Reach nameplate would forever not be mine.

Due to a lack of proper internet connection, I never played Halo 2 with a Live account on the original xbox. I did, however, play through the full campaign then, and again recently on my new Xbox 360, with my Live gamertag.

I know that I won't die if I don't have this nameplate, but I've always enjoyed this game, and I'd appreciate it if there was some way that earlier Halo fans such as myself, who never had Live, could enjoy this small, desirable perk in the newer game.

Thanks, Ian.

Oh, I still have my multiplayer map disc, if that's of any help.

From what I understand Bungie is using your game history on Bungie.net to tell if you played the game before or not. Sadly if you don't have a game history for your current XBL tag you can't get the name plate, or any others that have to do with Halo 2.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

Well if you want the servers to be re-opened, your out of luck. The nameplate is special for people who played it before it got shutdown. There isn't any other way to get it.
