Something I just thought of, seeing as how the nameplates no longer update on Halo Reach, only on the Reach service record page here, why not dedicate the nameplate system to the title bar system?

An example of what it could look like.

I think that it would be a good way to utilize the nameplate system on here now that Bungie has no control of Halo anymore and it would allow people to customize their accounts a little bit more. What do you think? Does it sound good or does it seem a bit too frivolous?

I am in love with this idea and I feel that it must happen.

Web Team people, would you be able to make this happen?

Thanks, much love,

As long as I could choose to have it on or not I'd be fine with it. Personally I think it adds clutter to an aesthetically pleasing title bar.

Well, then I can show off my Marathon nameplate; it's a fine idea. I wouldn't mind it.

I wonder what others feel about it though.

That actually quite a good idea, although some of them would look out of place. Maybe if nameplates return in Destiny this could be implemented.

It's not necessary!

A Halo-game feature in something we don't even know is a game or something that's being developed for us yet?

It seems unlikely that they'd pull another Aerospace. If it is a game (I think it will be) it is quite likely we will see Bungie.net exclusive features, like nameplates.

Well, of course (not many features are, like titles). I'm indifferent; but I don't see what problems this feature particularly would cause (and by that, I mean besides the usual "it clutters" or "it'll take the Webteams time", &c).

Just for this idea, I'm going to vote for CHAD to be the President...

Really though, this is an outstanding idea, OP!!!!!

If the nameplate system returns with Bungie's next product, why do you assume that it's not going to get changed to Destiny-themed items?

Why would it ever stay as a Halo theme for a non-Halo game?

I can see the nameplates returning perfectly well, and they'll have everything to do with Project Destiny, not Halo.

So I don't see the problem with adding them to our B.net title bars. Besides, why can't we keep those Halo symbols as another momento of what we accomplished during the Bungie-Halo Era?

Just because they don't own the franchise any more doesn't mean that they are forced to give up swag that was created during their time controlling Halo.

I really like this idea, maybe the webteam sees it and can tell us if we can have something like that.

The world is quiet here. -L.S.

See you starside.

I like this idea, especially if it is a choice thing, but I'm wondering if issues with ownership of the Halo ones would come up.

Edit: Just because something is not needed does not necessarily make it a bad thing.

It's a really cool idea but as dazarobbo said it's not necessary.
