How to change name in Halo Reach on PC?

First of all, you’ll have to log into your Microsoft account, either via the browser or the Xbox Console Companion. Once you’re there, you’ll be able to change your gamertag. Click on the user icon at the top of the sidebar on the left, and you should see the option listed under your current gamertag. This will change the name that’s displayed in the game. It might not work out of the box – after you’ve made the change, restart Steam, run the game again, then change profile (sign out and then back in). When you’ve done all that, the new gamertag should be displayed correctly.

If none of that helps, that means the problem is out of your hands and your best bet would be to contact Microsoft’s support team. They should be able to assist you with the issue, or fix anything that might be broken on their side.

Once you’ve resolved the issue, you’ll be able to enjoy the relatively short single player campaign and the multitude of multiplayer game modes and maps, along with a hefty equipment customization and upgrade system that rewards you with new stuff as you rank up. In other words, be prepared to grind ranks for a while.
