Ah, its part of the new dashboard update so unless you're part of the pilot for it we'll have to wait for the update in November. My mates on the pilot so he's been fannying about on it, and he says its good. His avatar has new clothing/equipment that I can't find on the market place, so perhaps they've finally released awards with Waypoint.

He has a red helmet and a guilty spark flying around.

Splosion Man has them, and Left 4 Dead 2 will have them. Now, ODST will have them (when used with Halo Waypoint).

Just the regular for me.

I've been in a Halo mood recently. I played the fuck out of Halo 2 till Halo 3 came out, but I only played that extensively for 4 months before getting COD4. I figured, since I got ODST last fall (anyone wanna do co-op campaign?) I may as well use the multiplayer disc for Halo 3. Who wants to play Halo tonight (or soon) to get ready for the Reach beta?

Just under a week until Reach Beta starts!

On a side note, I still need a lot of co-op achievements in ODST, Halo3 and Halo Wars if anyone fancies having a go at it.

I'd love to do ODST co-op legendary campaign. I will do Halo 3 as well.

I still need those co-op achievements as well.

I gotta beat both Halo 3 and Halo ODST on Legendary and do the firefight modes on ODST as well. I'm pretty sure I can play on Sunday, maybe also on Friday. I'm just not to sure if I have plans Friday night or not.

Halo Wars I really don't care about. Really didn't enjoy it that much.

Though if we can we should get a total of 4 players so we can do the 4 player vidmaster acheivements.

Myself, Chris, Matt, and who else?

Lets say Sunday night to play it safe. How does 5 or 6 pm, pacific standard time sound? And lets do Halo 3 first?

Matt, I saw that you still need to do the Meta points and the terminal achievements, so we can make sure you get those as well. They're pretty easy to get and the Meta points achievements are a lot of points.

Chris, I don't think I have you on my friends list anymore. Unless you changed your name and I didn't realize it, I'm pretty sure I don't have it anymore. Do you also need those achievements and you should probably re-add me.

Well then welcome to the team! Or if you want, you could totally go through normal and get the points by yourself. It's actually really really fucking easy. It's how I did it.

Halo Reach beta will last 17days.

And one company to rule them all:

UK, April 29, 2010 - Bungie has just announced a deal with Activision Blizzard, spanning some ten years, that will see the publishing giant releasing the Halo developer's next big franchise.

Bungie President Harold Ryan explained the announcement, saying "We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise, From working together over the past nine months on this agreement, it is clear that Activision supports our commitment to giving our fans the best possible gaming experiences."

Bungie is currently at work on Halo: Reach, a game that's looking ever more likely to be its last entry in the franchise.

The deal gives Activision the rights to publish Bungie's games for the next 10 years across multiple formats.

"Bungie has developed some of the most compelling and successful games, multiplayer experiences and thriving fan communities, and this alliance underscores our long-standing commitment to foster the industry's best creative talent," said Activision Blizzard's COO Thomas Tippl, "Our unprecedented partnership with Bungie will enable us to broaden our pipeline of exciting new games as we continue to strengthen our industry position and pursue long-term growth opportunities."

Hopefully Bungie's guys have planned out their retirement already.

Cue Call of Duty: Future Warfare rumor in 5 minutes ago.

It's a good thing 343 Studios is the only company doing Halo now. I couldn't imagine Halo being under the Activison banner. Fuck that.

I can wait until Monday. That sounds something awfully shady Matt. Infact the way you worded makes it sound one of the "A prince from Africa wants your account number so he can share some of money with you" e-mails and I'm not falling for that again.

Well, your loss. That's the site that store employees use to get early access to stuff like that. Many people have gotten it this way. You don't have to give them information for any kind of account except for your e-mail, and you can put a fake name, address, and phone number if you so choose (I didn't).
