Earlier today, those lucky folks who were accepted into the Dashboard preview program were granted their promised early access to the Halo: Waypoint beta.
11 Avatar Awards arrived alongside the addition (five for each gender's Avatar, one for both), unlocking based on various Achievements from Halo 3: ODST, ranging from Recon helmets to
ODST t-shirts.

Full list:
ODST Armour Male - Unlock the Good Samaritan Achievement (ODST)
ODST Armour Female - Unlock the Good Samaritan Achievement (ODST)
ODST Helmet Male - Unlock Complete the Campaign Achievement (ODST)
ODST Helmet Female - Unlock Complete the Campaign Achievement(ODST)
Recon Helmet (Male Only) - Unlock Vidmaster Endure (ODST)
ODST Dare Helemt (Female Only) - Unlock Vidmaster Endure (ODST)
ODST Hoodie Male - Unlock Dark Times Achievement (ODST)
ODST Hoodie Female - Unlock Dark Times Achievement (ODST)
ODST Shirt Male - Unlock Tourist Achievement (ODST)
ODST Shirt Female - Unlock Tourist Achievement (ODST)
The Monitor (343) Avatar Prop - Open Waypoint

I for one think that Waypoint is a great idea and hope to see more like it in the future for
Call of Duty, Gears of War and other popular franchises.

1) This is not a game.
2) It is free to everyone with an Xbox Live account.
3) This isn't milking, they are giving us awards to get more out of their game.
4) If you cant afford it then it's yyour own problem, stop blaming the devs.
5) STFU & GTFO because you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Just because.

I did it earlier today and I have all the Awards except 2. Halo Waypoint is actually pretty sweet. I'm really digging the medals you get by combining different variations of achievements together.

Waypoint is free.

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't like the PS3, there is only poor people who can't afford one. PS3 owners pity you and hope you can one day get out of poverty.

What pisses me off is that NOBODY HAS NOTICED IT YET, I mean, in all honesty, they're charging you full price for DLC, doesn't that sound a bit, well, milky?

In all fairness, it really wasn't Bungie that decided the final price of ODST. The final decision was more so Microsoft.

Isn't Bungie independent? Why are they still getting whipped by Microsoft?
And Bungie are the guys who decided to make Reach, Waypoint, get somebody to make Halo Wars, Halo Comics, Halo Books, and all that useless shit.

Bungie is independent but Microsoft was their publisher for O.D.S.T. and owns the rights to the Halo franchise. Halo Reach has been in development since the launch of Halo 3 and is Bungie's last Halo game on the 360. Not to mention it is on an entire new engine unlike the previous games. Waypoint was not Bungie, that was studio 343 which is part of Microsoft and is now the Halo division of Microsoft. Bungie had nothing to do with Waypoint which is free and is just essentially just a stat program, not a game, not yet anyway. Halo Wars was by Ensemble Studios which at the time was another studio in Microsoft Game Studios.

I can understand if people think the Halo franchise has been milked, but what big franchise hasn't for the most part? Bungie is not the bad guy here. If you're going to point any fingers they should be directed towards Microsoft.

Bungie is the bad guy here for failing to innovate since dual weapons in Halo 2.

Oh wait, that was in other games before that too, did Bungie innovate AT ALL? Seriously, regenerating health, that's probably it, and that's one of the most hated aspects of modern FPS's.

You're just out to get Bungie. No matter how many point or facts I post you're just going to say something anti-bungie.

I'm pretty sure Bungie has produced one of the best, if not the best matchmaking systems on a console. Naughty Dog (creators of Uncharted 2) even thanked Bungie in the credits of Uncharted 2 for helping them out in that department.

If you don't like Bungie, that's fine. Give credit where credit is due though =/
