Make your way to Halo Waypoint on November 5

Wait, another Halo game? Nah -- if you've read our earlier report on it, you'll know that Halo Waypoint is actually a new section of Xbox Live dedicated entirely to Doritos Dash of Destruction the Halo universe. It was supposed to be coming this fall and, hey, it is ... on November 5, as this here official tweet confirms.
What awaits you at the Waypoint? The better question would be "what doesn't await you there?" Microsoft has promised that we can expect all manner of exclusive Halo content, including videos, trailers and podcasts, plus "a career system and player rankings tied to both in-game and out-of-game accomplishments related to Halo." It will also host updated looks at the forthcoming Halo Legends anime compilation. No Waypoint! Yes Waypoint.
[Thanks, EchoX860!]

The tetris theme was hard to hear at first, but I got it eventually.
Brendan H @ Sep 10th 2009 5:31PM
Hey, they need something to fill that Halo section on the dashboard!
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 10th 2009 5:32PM
I'm starting to believe this:
Master Chief:MS;Mario:Nintendo
Infidel @ Sep 10th 2009 5:33PM
youre only just now believing this? this has been true since halo 2. love the chief.
WiredKnight @ Sep 10th 2009 5:37PM
Shouldn't that be:
Master Chief:MS::Mario:Nintendo
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 10th 2009 5:50PM
@ Wired
I believe so, but I have seen it with only one semicolon.
yolarrydabomb @ Sep 11th 2009 6:48PM
I wouldnt care for another MC game just as long as its not the same
-brutes
-contra...maybe
-whatever else that they kept repeating
Dirty @ Sep 10th 2009 5:32PM
I quite liked that silly Doritos® game.
BIacked Out @ Sep 10th 2009 7:49PM
I really have problems trying to get myself to play that game. Just cant deal with the fact it'll be permanantly on my Cheebo list.
Marlan @ Sep 10th 2009 5:32PM
Why use waypoint, when I have joystiq?
alexdaman44 @ Sep 10th 2009 5:36PM
so I guess this is the same day facebook twitter and last.fm come out since this will most likely require to update the xbox dashboard

I doubt it, they always add things in the spotlight, Like Avatar Dunk without breaking a sweat. Waypoint is probably just going to link to Halo 3 Marketplace, have a few news reports and updates on Reach.

I have a funny feeling that I'm actually going to use this.
Dirty @ Sep 10th 2009 5:41PM
Its probably just diarrhea.
CheeziePotato @ Sep 10th 2009 5:50PM
Too many Halo stuff. They really need to stop milking the franchise
David @ Sep 10th 2009 5:52PM
eh, they're definitely capitalizing on it, but not that badly, IMO. it's no guitar hero, that's for sure.
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 10th 2009 5:50PM
Out of game achievements? That sounds odd. I wonder what they'd be for? Create your own ODST cosplay and upload pictures? Join bungie.net? Buy something at gamestop?
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 10th 2009 6:31PM
Feed your kitten? Help your grandmother do the groceries? Help your best friend get a girlfriend? Only time will tell.
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 10th 2009 7:05PM
I tell you what it won't do: Get you laid.
Cr4sh Dummy @ Sep 10th 2009 10:29PM
Dude, it's like a fucking cult now!
acme @ Sep 10th 2009 7:01PM
i'm a big halo fan, but even i see this is kind of overkill. If halo gets this, then every big franchise should get one too. We all know that's not going to happen.
BIacked Out @ Sep 10th 2009 7:55PM
I agree the franchise is getting milked to the max. but for good reason, it is [pretty much] the most played game on Xbox Live.
Ex14 @ Sep 10th 2009 11:58PM
erm. milked? how bout guitar hero? mario? sonic? Final Fantasy?
Theres soo much many more games that are "milked" really stop complaining about it being milked.
Anyway i'm excited about this....if it even drops in in my country >_>
ChomskyKnows @ Sep 10th 2009 7:53PM
love halo, but no thanks.

cool stuff always happens on my birthday. i was born on election day, the last matrix came out on it, v for vendetta is based about it (well they speak of the holiday), and now this. shibby.
