'Halo Waypoint' coming to Xbox Live

Halo 'experience' with news, activities and player rankings
Microsoft says it will be distributing just-announced Halo anime series, Halo Legends through a new section of Xbox Live called 'Halo Waypoint'.

Halo Waypoint will launch in the autumn as a "new destination for Halo fans on Xbox Live around the world," says MS.

Waypoint will "inform fans of the latest Halo news and activities, and grant access to content ranging from podcasts, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage you won't find anywhere else," it says.

Interestingly, it will also provide a "career system" and player rankings tied to both in-game and out-of-game accomplishments related to Halo. They should just rename the whole service to Halo Live.

Halo Waypoint will debut several behind-the-scenes videos that chronicle the making of Halo Legends soon, says MS.

Sounds cool.

Being a massive Halo Fan, this is great great news.

Some people will call thi the 'milking of a franchise', Id call it taking care of your greatest asset.

Cant wait for ODST and im surprisingly hyped for Reach already.

Bungie and MS sure know what there doing (thank Jebus they do).

metallica shut up man....its adding to an allready great service.u DONT have to go on it....but seein as im a halo fan i sure as hell will be.love the sound of the dash linking games stats(possible firefight high scores maybe?)to the dashboard great idea.
Posted by WHERESMYMONKEY
its a cool idea. Sounds a bit like a 360 version of the different game spaces on home or the channels on the wii. Hope to see different waypoints for other games.

Not the biggest Halo fan but the core idea of making community space on live for some of the biiger games sounds like a good idea to me.

The Super Halo Hype Machine - straight in your face via your dashboard

ye thats a pretty ancient teaser for ODST
Posted by metallicorphan
nice attitude dickwash

and yeah its all very well if you are a fan of Halo.it seems you have to be, with this being thrown in your face now on the dashboard

Halo having its own section on the dashboard is a bit shit TBH,its a game like the hundreds of other games on the 360..how long until the Gears of War one or Call of duty?

and also,i didn't say XBL wasn't a great service

i don't mind the Halo games,just don't want all this on the dashboard,thats all

It's almost like they want to bring fans more content for the games people like....the *******s!
Posted by Black Mantis
It'll likely be just one of the screens under Spotlight, once you enter you get all the Halo goods. So I don't see how you've come to the conclusion that it'll be taking over your dashboard, especially when you haven't seen it yet.

I also don't quite understand how people think this is going to flood their dashboard. It's not as if 1 vs. 100 has changed anything, for example.

Precisely. The only reason 1 vs 100 dominates my dashboard is due to me using the theme!
Posted by chainsawgerbil
as long as it doesnt end up slowing anything down then theres no problem in my eyes,and i dont play halo.
now this feature covering all beat em ups......... yes freaking please. psn have that litttle area in the shop for streetfighter stuff but a massive set of rankings stats and guides would be great.
annoys me when u cant access information thats on games website, xbl and psn have a long way to go.

Wow, sum people are really over-reacting to this. It's not as if Microsoft are throwing everything else out the window n goin completely halo mad! If you don't wanna look at the halo waypoint on the dashboard then don't!!! Like mantis n altitude hav already sed, it's not gonna dominate the dash!
