Subject: Suggestion - Read thoroughly before posting

I believe that along with the Halo: Reach nameplates, there shouldn't just be a place for Halo 1 Product Keys, but also Halo 2 for the PC, since I have an old case lying around with the Product Key and I don't have Halo 2 for Xbox.

Seems like the right thing to do, to be honest. Its just as much Halo 2 as the Xbox version.

No.
You have no reason at all past the fact that you hate the game to think it shouldn't have a nameplate on Reach.

I'm sure it is the right thing to do. I'm not going to end up having two Halo 2's sitting around for nothing. I want the Halo 2 Nameplate, just to add to my collection. I'm a Nameplate-Whore.

Also, the omega man117 is just mad, because
1. He cannot afford Halo 2
2. He doesn't own an Xbox 360

They won't do it simply because the player count is ridiculously small for a Halo game, let alone a PC game. It's wasted time and resources. And i don't think the Xbox Halo 2 works anymore, you had to play it on Live before the shutoff.

Im pretty sure Omega has played Halo 2...he just hates anyone that speaks one word of good about it. Free to opinion though.

1. I don't have Halo 2? Please kid, check my Xfire. (might want to click "show entire gaming history")

2. Click my name. It should show that I have Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. It should also show I have a gamertag. If you click that you can clearly see that I do have an Xbox.

You make the Halo 2 forum look smart.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Honestly, you're right, but it should have unlocked a completely unique nameplate entirely. Not identical to the HPC one, but also not the same as the H2X one either.

Yes, because DusK is reasonable and intelligent. Unlike Omega here, he knows not to let his hate influence his thoughts on other matters like if the game should have gotten a nameplate.

I don't agree with the idea that there should be a nameplate for Halo 2 Vista.

Here's why:

Halo 2 Vista was a poorly developed game by Microsoft that hasn't received support for a long time. Currently Microsoft doesn't even offer much support (if any) for the game. Microsoft decided to abandon the game for a reason. That reason is that the game had major issues and flaws; flaws that probably could not be fixed.

I offer this question: If a game no longer is recognized by it's maker why should it receive recognition now? In other words why should there be a nameplate/reward offered to people who play a game that Microsoft doesn't care about anymore?

In my opinion, all the reasons you gave for there not to be a nameplate are reasons why there should. The nameplate isn't supposed to honor those who made it, its meant to honor the ones that played it. The people who actually bought Halo 2 Vista deserve something for it. Whether it be a nameplate or their money back.

I am aware that the nameplate is not supposed to honor the makers of H2V. I'm saying that Microsoft shouldn't give out rewards because the game is no longer supported.

I would rather the people who bought H2V get their money back not a nameplate.

If that's true there shouldn't be a Halo PC nameplate either or a regular Halo 2 Xbox nameplate.

Yes, you're correct, both Halo 1 PC and H2V are now unsupported. But Microsoft seems to favor one over the other. Apparently Microsoft views Halo 1 PC as a better made and more successful game than H2V.

I definitely agree Halo: Combat Evolved PC is a better game in all, but it doesn't matter. In the end, what I'm saying is that no matter how bad the game is, it deserves a nameplate. You can easily detect if someone has played it or not so there's no real excuse as to why they can't do it.

From what I've seen so far the only reasons it shouldn't have a nameplate is "It sucks" and "Its not supported". The first reason is not a valid reason at all to say there shouldn't be a nameplate for obvious reasons to anyone with an IQ above 100. The second reason doesn't make sense because they also gave nameplates to the other non-supported Halos. Along with that, saying that Microsoft likes one game over another has nothing to do with if there should be a nameplate, not if there will be one.

Well Microsoft obviously doesn't want to make a nameplate for H2V. We can only speculate as to why that is.

It's really up to Microsoft to decide whether or not to award a nameplate for H2V.

I speculate that Microsoft feels that H2V has so many problems that it wouldn't be reasonable to increase the popularity of the game by creating a nameplate for the latest installment in the Halo series; Halo: Reach.

That doesn't change the fact that they hyped the hell out of H2V until its release. They should've manned up to that hype when Reach came out by providing the suckers who bought H2V with a nameplate.

Microsoft didn't want to man up to the hype because they wanted to bury H2V.

Correct me if I'm wrong: You're saying that you think Microsoft should release a nameplate for H2V. While I'm saying that Microsoft most likely won't because Microsoft doesn't want to.

I'm kind of confused now.

There's nothing confusing about that.

o.O

buuuuut I can't relate to this thread because I had my nameplate from H2X. I do, however, believe that the whole nameplate thing in general is pretty useless so it doesn't really matter if you have it or not. Some sort of psychological thing with people wanting others to know what they appreciate lol. that's my guess :p

I, for example, would love to have it because I never had the chance (Due to my Internet connection) to play Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I did, however, play it many times, including in tournaments, with my friends. I've stayed with the Halo franchise for the entire time it has been around, yet, I don't have the "HALO" nameplate. Even though its such a minor thing, it kills me a little I don't have it because I know I should. Its not really about that when it comes to if H2V should have a nameplate for it or not. I just think it should if Halo PC has one. Its just as much a Halo title as Halo PC was no matter how bad people think it is.
