I'm Level 32 -- can anyone who hit Level 40 tell me if they ever give you an actual suit of Spartan armor and/or helmet, instead of just the ODST stuff?

Hit me up here or Sup3r T0ngue on XBL. I've got all the achievements in Halo 3 and am missing two in ODST. Too bad there's nothing for a perfect 1750... #halowaypoint

But as far as nothing for a perfect 1750: don't you get the holy Recon grail for that? #halowaypoint

Edit: By the way, I am level 40...I was surprised when I loaded it up and saw that. I was never a huge fan of Halo, yet I am at the max level. The only reason that I'm so high a level is because I'm a completionist and try to get as many achievements in 360 games that I play.

Also, full Halo: Legends - Babysitter stream tomorrow on Waypoint, so that'll be awesome. They're apparently 4 of the shorts for 24 hours every other Saturday starting tomorrow. #halowaypoint

Well, I took 30 minutes. As they say, Your Mileage May Vary. #halowaypoint

The thing I like most is that now my avatar can wear an ODST helmet with a blue suit and bowtie. DREAMS REALLY CAN COME TRUE! #halowaypoint

...I mean, I'm happy with my suit and bowtie! Honest! #halowaypoint

(So in retrospect, maybe I should have said "voice acting" instead?)

But on the plus side, the Star Wars style floating droid thingy I got for my avatar when I installed it and looked around was pretty cool. #halowaypoint

Modern Warfare's characters were too one dimensional. They hardly spend time to develop them. Hopefully they addressed that in MW2 but I doubt it. #halowaypoint

You have received a new shirt for sitting on the coach for 3 days straight... awesome. #halowaypoint

I can't wait to read that story about the Elites post Halo 3... ooh ooh ooh! And more of the ship to ship combat! I loved that in the Halo novels, it always reminded me of a sort of Star Trek-esque/Old naval battle sort of fighting. *squees*
.. I think i'll stop gushing my halo-fanboyishness now.

As for this book, it seems like it's essentially "Tales from the Empire" or "Tales of the Jedi" from back in the '90s when people actually bought Star Wars short story collections. #haloevolutions

They tried to do it more recently with Death Star, but although I really like it, it just doesn't compare to the nostalgia factor of the Tales anthologies. #haloevolutions

"in the games at least, that dude barely even registers as a person."
There is a little humanity. Chief jokes with Cortana on multiple occassions in the games. Given the process that it took to make him a Spartan, it's no wonder he is the way he is.
Less time talking is more time for ass whooping. #haloevolutions

Halo is the most overated game there with weak sci-fi story... It brings nothing new, but microsoft trying to make from it a huge hit. What makes MS PR could not do even Sony with their franchises.
This franchise must not die, but one day it must be shut down or people must realise that there are much better games then this. If it is selling well it is not saying that the game is the best of the best.

Halo had good gameplay and that's all it needed. it's sad you can't appreciate it but your tired rant makes you just seem like an MS hater especially since you brought Sony into it.

These are the same people who worship Miyomoto and Mario. Nothing against Miyomoto or Mario, but there is no difference between what Microsoft does with Master Chief and Halo, then what Nintendo does with Mario. Blankets, energy drinks, hot topic tee shirts, etc. Both series gets them, yet it's Halo that is hated for it. This boggles my mind.
Both series are wonderful games, perfect for the industry we all love, yet I just can't wrap my head around why people bring on so much hate for a video game based on it's popularity. Unfortunately, most people that do hate it, hate it because it's popular. How else would the game sell as much as it did? I guess we're all so jaded that we hate anything that isn't obscure or unpopular. It's unfortunate, really, it would make Kotaku a better place if people would just calm down and stop the hate.

It is very unfortunate that the gaming community will never come together because of Haters and Fans alike.
But if we really sit and think about it, all these children spewing their hate really don't mean anything.
There are still thousands of millions of gamers out there who play it, so it's not like the community will die off. Also the reviewers & gamers in the industry don't act like rotten kids and keep the successful franchises kicking.
