Answers To Your Halo: Reach FAQ

With Halo: Reach released to the masses, many questions are frequently being asked. In fact, almost every game I get to hear the common questions, “How did you..” So here is a quick guide to help answer some Frequently Asked Questions..

Question: How do I get that icon that appears on the Nametag?

Answer: You’ll need to visit Bungie.net in order to set your Nametag that appears. You can also just visit this link, and choose any of the following Nametags. However, it should be worth noting that you’ll need to own some games to unlock many of the tags. For example, the Goldberg looking icon on the bottom is for owners of the XBLA game Marathon, while some others require Halo, Halo 2 for the PC, or Halo 3: ODST.

Question: What is the fastest way to unlock achievements for Firefight?

Answer: The fastest way to unlock the bulk of the achievements for Firefight is to download a variant that makes it somewhat impossible to die, and to have a good team ready for battle. Check out this variant on Bungie.net which takes just over 15 minutes to unlock them all.

Question: How can I unlock the flaming head in game?

Answer: Once a rare bonus for Bungie employees, those who purchase the Limited Edition version of Halo: Reach will get to use the flaming head. Bungie employees now use a blue flame to help distinguish them among non-employees.
