    So are these like XBL Zune downloads or do you have to go through waypoint to view them?

    I really do appreciate the avatar rewards (got the ODST helmet & helmet/suit combo, a sweet Monitor accessory, and a Halo hoodie, which I would "wear" if it didn't feature a T-shirt with a big heart in the middle...), and hope more games manufacturers start giving us retroactive freebies tied to achievements. Looking forward to the free videos, too.

    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?

    @Communist Pope: I'm 39 and am 15 points away from 40... I've got nearly all the achievements in Halo Wars to get, which I should get some this weekend.

    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

    @SuperTongue: Nice. I really should pick up Halo Wars. I'm not a big fan of RTS but I love me some Halo and a lot of the achievements on that game sound fun.

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

    @Communist Pope: From what I've seen, your level has nothing to do with any avatar awards. It might at some point in the future, but for now the rewards are locked into achievements from Halo 3: ODST. #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.

    @Communist Pope: I'm at 40, and you don't get anything there- Awards are tied to specific achievements, not gamerscore or level. In fact, 40 stops about 250 points below 100% (?). Plus, recon is tied to the Vidmaster achievements. Get all 7 of those across H3 and ODST, and you automatically unlock recon.

    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

    @CanaryWundaboy: That darn general achievement is the only thing keeping me from being perfect across them all. I'm only at about 52,000 experience points and you need 2.4million, so yeah, that's gonna take a LOT of time. #halowaypoint

    I kinda dig it. It's a bit cluttered in the 'achievements' section but overall it has potential. I'd like to see some sort of 'channel' for film clips people have made from Halo 3 MP, even if it's only 'Bungie Pro' subscribers. Just something to connect that community a bit more.

    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

    This is the kind of stuff that makes Halo a great franchise, I'm not a huge fan of Halo but the support it gets is amazing, I would love something like this for Modern Warfare. Just a great sense of community and life behind the game that makes you feel like a part of something more than just playing a game, you're part of a family of sorts. #halowaypoint

    @DRM.HollyWood: Maybe I'm cynical, but all I see with Halo Waypoint is a way to promote their shiny new game, their anime, and their new books. At first glance, I didn't see any way to interact with other people through Waypoint, though I'll admit I wasn't in the channel for more than five minutes.

    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

    @DigitalHero: I can agree with that completely, the campaign in Modern Warfare was a great shooter but story wise held no emotional weight in my opinion. Although a majority of my play through of Halo 3 was mainly to get my Samurai sword I still felt like the universe of Halo was a breathing entity and I was a part of it. Anyway Half Life 2 and the two following episodes have set my expectations for what a game can be in terms of emotional weight and I don't see anything passing that up in the near future, at least in the genre that I focus on (FPS) #halowaypoint

    That's really cool! I didn't get in on the beta because I didn't really care about the Facebook or Twitter- but that waypoint is very cool. I like the Awards FINALLY- and I really like the Halo Hub. I wonder what level I'll come in at- I seem to have a lot more than Steve, mostly because of my Halo 3 stuff. Anyway- very interesting idea- I like where it's heading a lot! #halowaypoint
