Halo Waypoint has just hit the scene and boy are we glad that it has. Already fans are weeping with joy over the new virtual experience brought to us by Microsoft Game Studios and the friendly folk at 343 Industries.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the program, Halo Waypoint is the very impressive HQ for all halo fans on Xbox Live, gold. This program is still fresh and therefore its content is limited, however we already have two sections to play around in.

The first is known as Intel, your halo library. Here you will be able to access pictures, tips, videos, articles and so much more. Updated every day from various sources (including yourselves!) Halo Waypoint are forever gracing us with unseen exclusives. Intel is also going to be the home of the up and coming hit, “Halo Legends”, the new halo universe story soon to be released in a series of episodes. For more details, see below.

The second section of Waypoint is entitled ‘Career’. This area deals with all your statistics. It tracks your progress through some of the halo games and also your achievements – this includes all downloadable content. Using a user-friendly system, Waypoint converts all of your accomplishments from most of the halo games into leaderboard system. This system divides into two categories; awards, based on groups of achievements, and milestones, based on your overall halo gamerscore.

If that isn’t enough to please you, Halo Waypoint also provides users with free unlockable avatar awards! Now we’re not going to reveal what you need to do to get these awards, but we will tell you that you automatically get one just for opening Halo Waypoint .

Us 360gamercast folk (the UK’s #1 Xbox 360 podcast) are thrilled by Halo Waypoint and we know you guys will be to, so take our advise and go download it today! 360Gamercast will not be held responsible for any disappointment or damage caused by fits of outrage ‘.’. Enjoy!
