Apparently I have not played Halo 2, Halo 3, or ODST all because I changed my gamertag.
Not the account, but just the name of said account, and that is all it took.
Would be nice to have this fixed, as it somehow knew what my Reach and Halo 4 stats were tied to despite not going to those games (or even an Xbox 360) after I changed my gamertag.
…so…anything at all?

Ok to answer your question.
For your Halo 3, ODST you just need to play one game on both games on Xbox live to get the stats back.
For Halo 2 though. That’s still tied to your old name. And will forever be stuck there. Sorry to bring the bad news.
Does 343 even look into this forum?
I’ll take that as a resounding “no”.
I thought 343 had a team of people to handle the forums (like what most companies do), and it is great to see how half-assed the stat system is, especially with how much it is just flat out ignored.
These stats are tied to Bungie.net and are sitting in a corner on the Destiny servers. Bungie no longer updates the Halo stats on there site, I wish I had better info to tell you. =(

It wouldn’t be difficult to link stats together.
All profiles have an underlying ID that never gets changed, and so if the stats are tied to one account with that ID then it should not be difficult to tie it to the same ID when it just has a different display name (the gamertag).
IXI Sean,
CIA391 answered your question and he’s right. You just need to play one game connected to Xbox Live to update your stats for each game. For Halo 2, obviously … the answer is simple.
Some stats are scanning the name (your Gamertag) and others the account as a whole.

I would much rather have an answer from someone who actually works on the website since (like I said in an above post) it isn’t difficult to track profiles when a name is changed, hell, there is an achievement tracking 3rd party website that does that.

But these stats track your gamertag. Not your actual xbox profile.
Aka Tracking achievements is different to tracking stats. Cause Achievements are tied to your Xbox account. While Stats are tied more to Halo Waypoint.
This just means that while your Halo Gamerscore may show correctly thats simply cause its fully linked to your xbox account.
Stats are a different story. Cause stats arnt fully linked to your profile like Achievements are. If you change your GT then the system wont be able to find your stats(unless you looked up your previous GT) till you played one game on the game you want stats for, updating the system of your new gamertag.
Its always been like this even in the Bungie.Net days(before support was dropped).
And 343i are really busy right now. MCC problems and so on. Your problem just came up the same time more problems kept popping up. Sorry for that.

If the system is half-assed, then yeah, it won’t link together, as then it would just use the display name (i.e. your gamertag).
It wouldn’t be too hard for a first-party company to link together past stats when they have the same underlying ID within their server.
This would be the same reason as to why you keep your stats for a game when you change your gamertag. It isn’t reading the name, but it is reading the Profile ID.
If a 3rd party website can track across gamertags and update itself automatically without any user input in order to follow the same account then it is not much of a stretch for a first party company to be able to tie the stats together.
Also, 343 would have different areas within their company for different focuses, they don’t just throw everyone at one thing, that wouldn’t make sense. No. What they would do is have a web team for the actual forums who specialize in website management, and then have the rest of their company working on their own respective areas.
