Halo: Odst Gets Avatar Awardables

[Jackho]

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.

Screw ODST, i'm too poor for a $60 5 hour game.
And Halo: Waypoint will probably be a shit, overpriced game.
Srsly Bungie, what with the milking?

[Jawdyn]

It's called Capitalism.

Good job on calling Bungie for doing what every game industry ever does.

-facedesk- HALO WAYPOINT IS NOT A GAME.
Besides, if you can't save up 60 dollars then you need to get a job or get better money management.

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.

Call of Duty: Headquarters would be awesome.

Just because there are so many Cod games.
And I would like my avatar to be wearing awesome uniforms.

Your profile says otherwise, which means you are lying.

That was an awesome movie indeed.

sig tells you that im a fan.

[Fezz]

Great idea, finally something behind those dern chevements.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

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.

It's called Capitalism.

Good job on calling Bungie for doing what every game industry ever does.

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.

[squidly]

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 =/

"I'm too poor and too young to afford this game, so therefore I'm going to say it's crap to protect my own worthless dignity that nobody knew about only until now."

What are you? 12?
