How to Import & Use Halo Tags

Show off your Bungie pride with a new "Halo Reach" nametag.

While playing "Halo Reach" over Xbox Live, you may notice that some players have unique symbols and icons beside their names. These are customized Nameplates, also called nametags by the Halo community, that represent a small piece of the player's history with enjoying Bungie games over Xbox Live. If you want your own Spartan Helmet or Septagon icon beside your Gamertag, you will have to have an account with Bungie.net. You are sure to become the envy of your online friends when you show up to the next match of Fiesta with a Marathon Durandal Nameplate.

Instructions

1. Sign into your Bungie.net account. The "Sign In" button is located on the upper right corner of the Bungie homepage.

2. Click on your name to display your profile information. Proceed to the "Game Settings" tab and then "Nameplates."

3. Select a Nameplate for your Gamertag in "Halo Reach." Find a nametag that you like and press the blue "Change Nameplate" button to have it applied to your profile. You will notice the change the next time you play "Halo Reach" on Xbox Live.

4. Read and complete the prerequisite to use the Nametag if Bungie.net doesn't instantly allow you to apply the Nameplate to your profile. For example, you must have played "Halo 3: ODST" while signed into Xbox Live on your profile before you can use the "ODST" nametag.

Tips & Warnings

• Some Nameplates cannot be obtained to new players due to the removal of certain features. If you have never played "Halo 2" over Xbox Live under your Xbox Live profile, you cannot gain access to the "Halo 2" Nameplate. This is because all servers for the original Xbox have been shut down permanently. If you have played "Halo 2" before the servers closed, you can still claim the "Halo 2" nametag.
