For all the Halo fans out there, if you have the dashboard beta you can download the Halo Waypoint app. It's just a place to go for all things Halo. Nothing terribly exciting but the cool thing about it is the Avatar rewards. If you have unlocked some of the hardest Halo achievements, there are 6 avatar rewards that will be given to you. Here they are:

ODST Armor
ODST Helmet
Red Recon Helmet (DARE)
ODST Hoodie
ODST Shirt
Halo Waypoint Monitor (343 Guilty Spark)

Tempting, but I'll have to pass.

Any verdict on Halo waypoint yet?

I've had to pass because I had to swap my 360 out so I lost the dashboard update since it's tied to the console ID.

Wasn't a hard thing to give up...

I don't even see it. I'm in the preview, but I honestly haven't seen this being offered. I even looked on Major Nelson's site, and there's no mention of it. Maybe I missed something.

Sorry Magiz, I think Major Nelson said on Twitter that it's not available in Canada yet.

I got it a few days ago. It's cool if you're into Halo. When you start Waypoint up it scans your achievements across ODST, Halo 3 and Halo Wars and comes up with a score for your complete Halo career. I got a handful of Avatar awards for the achievements I've unlocked to date.

He said on his Podcast this week that during the preview, it's not available in all countries so it might not be available for us yet. I don't know since the update is tied to my non-functioning console.

eh im kinda looking forward to that. I should have signed up for that, guess now i have to wait.

is there any way to still get the beta?

Nope. Sign-Ups for the Preview Program for the new Dashboard Update have been closed for a week or two. I can't think it'll be much longer before the update is available to everyone.

cool thanks max

I hope it comes with something that lets you form ODST groups more easily, still need to do several firefights.

November 5th, I believe.

I've heard that date too but nothing's been announced officially & since that's tomorrow, I'm guessing it's incorrect since I figure they would've said something by now if that was true.

No, the update will be launched later in the month. Not exactly sure which day.
