Halo Waypoint Revealed
Remember that news back in band camp about an exclusive access point on your Xbox Dashboard for all things Halo? Remember they were calling it Halo Waypoint? Well, the way to Halo will be arriving on November 5 exclusively on Xbox LIVE. It’ll be like Halo central for all of you Halo fans out there. You can check out a portal for content here.
And you can grab a peek at some screenshots of Halo Waypoint here. Produced and developed by 343 Industries in collaboration with Certain Affinity, Halo Waypoint will offer a diverse selection of unique and immersive content and bring together all the goodness of the rich Halo universe in one place. It will inform fans of the latest Halo news and activities, and grant access to content ranging from interviews, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage and community content that you won’t find anywhere else.
Halo Waypoint will also provide a new challenge for Halo gamers with a career system tied to in-game accomplishments across multiple Halo games. At launch, career tracking will include Halo 3: ODST, Halo 3, Halo Wars and all Game Add-on content for those titles.
Previews of the highly anticipated anime anthology Halo Legends, will be available exclusively on Halo Waypoint starting Nov. 7. Halo Legends is just one of the Halo exclusives that won’t be found anywhere outside of Halo Waypoint.
Halo Waypoint will be accessible for Xbox LIVE Silver members as a trial until Nov. 26. After that time, Halo Waypoint will be available exclusively for Gold subscribers. So it looks like if you’re a really big Halo fan and you’re a Silver member, you might want to hurry up and invest in Gold to continue on the waypoint.
I like having perfect files with no KO's (whether they're recorded or not). I've died so many times on XIII, and instead of 'retrying' I just go straight to the dash lol

Sounds pretty cool, I’m a little burnt out on Halo myself…But it looks nice, for the big Halo fans out there.

If the latest ‘news’ is anything like the garbage on Bungie.net, then I’ll pass

So I am guessing it is free for all Gold members? And it is a download?
October 19th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
