Halo Waypoint launches on Xbox Live

Your one stop shop for everything Halo goes live, along with the first of new Halo animated series.

Listen up, Marines. The Halo Waypoint has just gone live today, so if you want to follow all the news of the UNSC's brave fight against the fiendish Convenant threat, you know where to go! 

We just got in the official word from command, and here's what you need to know:

Following a successful preview period, Halo Waypoint is now available for "Halo" fans worldwide bringing all the richness of the "Halo" universe together in one place. Halo Waypoint features daily updates of new, exciting content such as developer interviews, trailers and screenshots, exclusive video footage, community activities and the latest "Halo" news.

There's even a mess of new avatar wearables you can unlock by nailing achievements in your ODST training. And it's retroactive, too, so if you've done your drop into Mombassa, the new gear will be waiting for you. Oo-rah.

Yee-ha on a stick, Marines, but that excites even me! What? You maggots want to know more? Damn ignorant grunts... Well, thankfully, there is more, lucky for you sons of Grunts.
