Microsoft announces Halo Waypoint
Friday 6th November 2009 - 17:00


Virtual home for all things Halo on Xbox Live plus F1 2009 Wii screens



Halo Waypoint, the new virtual home for all things Halo, has launched on Xbox LIVE and will be the exclusive destination for full-episode previews of Halo Legends beginning Saturday, Nov. 7.

Available for Halo fans worldwide following a successful preview period, Halo Waypoint brings all the richness of the Halo universe together in one place. Halo Waypoint features daily updates of fresh content such as developer interviews, trailers and screenshots, exclusive video footage, community activities and the latest Halo news.

In addition, Halo Waypoint includes an innovative career system that tracks players' accomplishments across multiple Halo games and gives them new ways to show off their heroic gameplay feats. By downloading and enlisting in Halo Waypoint, players will be rewarded with a variety of Bungie-created Halo 3: ODST Avatar Awardables for attaining specific Achievements in the game. Rewards vary from T-shirts to full sets of ODST armour. The feature is retroactive, so if players have already unlocked the requisite Achievements, the awards will be ready for them once they enlist in Halo Waypoint.

In addition, Microsoft has announced that as a bonus for enlisting to Halo Waypoint, fans will receive a Monitor accessory for their Avatars modelled after the Halo character, 343 Guilty Spark. This Saturday, the first preview episode of the highly anticipated anime series, Halo Legends, will debut only on Halo Waypoint. Set to be distributed in early 2010 by Warner Home Video, the rich anthology of anime short films will tell all-new stories in the epic saga -possibly the best Saturday morning TV we've seen in ages.

From a virtual Halo universe to a far more realistic experience. We've got some brand new screens of F1 2009, forthcoming on Wii courtesy of Codemasters. The game comes complete with an F1 style racing wheel when it eventually sets off under starters orders on November 20.
