With the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard update preview kicking off today, Microsoft dropped some more details on Halo Waypoint, the Dashboard playpen for the Master Chief enthusiasts among you. The preview video – found after the break – walks you through some of the destination's functionality, notably the "career system" which will track "in-game accomplishments across multiple Halo games." Unsurprisingly, that career will be limited to the Xbox 360-released Halo games: Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, and "all Game Add-on content for those titles." Oh, you beat Halo 2 in under 30 minutes? We'll just have to take your word for it.

Halo Waypoint is being developed collaboratively by Microsoft's internal Halo studio, 343 Industries, and Certain Affinity, the Austin-based developer (with some former Bungie staffers) behind Age of Booty. Waypoint will be available November 5 for both Xbox Live Gold and Silver members; however, come November 26 those Silver members will have to pony up for Live if they want to keep their Waypoint access. That's a solid three weeks to determine if the exclusive Waypoint offerings – like the Nov. 7. preview of the "Halo Legends" anime anthology – are worth it. We imagine it will be for the hardcore Halo fan ... but we'd assume they've already got a Gold account.

Yeah, saw a vid on this earlier today, seems like a cool concept, and would work really well with other games like COD

To all of those selected for the dashboard update preview Halo Waypoint is now available for download on the Xbox dashboard and I must admit its cooler than I thought it would be. For the most part if you have played any of the Halo games Halo3, Halo Wars, or Halo 3 ODST you should start off with some cool stuff for your avatar. That’s right included in Waypoint are avatar awards. Here’s a quick list.

1) ODST Helmet – Unlocked by Halo 3: ODST’s Campaign Complete Achievement

2) ODST Shirt – Unlocked by ODST’s Tourist Achievement

3) ODST Hoodie – Unlocked by Halo 3: ODST’s Dark Times Achievement

4) Secret – But free when you start Waypoint for the first time.

5) Recon Helmet – Unlocked by Halo 3: Vidmaster Endure Achievement

6) ODST Armor – Unlocked by Halo 3: ODST’s Good Samaritan Acheivement

So if you want all the avatar unlockables once Waypoint drops for everyone get on those acheivements and you’ll start with all the gear. So what do you think good idea, or bad idea for Microsoft to include these new unlockables to kick off Halo Waypoint?

I wouldn't knock a Hayabusa armour. Would be nice if you could colour them yourself as well.

WTF is babysitters?

I DL'd this yesterday.... might have been interesting if they'd released it around the time of Halo, and it is an interesting concept over all... but it's come a bit to late to get me excited. I guess it must be more of an achievement whore thing, adding another layer of achievements to get people playing.
