    At first I was excited... then not so much. I understand Halo is a huge franchise and all, but how many people are really going to use this? It's like the special features on a DVD (I know a lot of people probably do watch that shit, but it's mostly just a selling point on a more expensive DVD right?) #halowaypoint

    @Kermi: I used Bungie.net a lot too, when Halo 3 came out. Of course, the people who are still playing that game will get use out of it, but I don't see it taking the reigns from the online experience. #halowaypoint

    Kinda looks like the 360's version of the Mario Kart Channel on the Wii. Kinda weird, but it seems like hardcore Halo fans should enjoy it. I haven't played Halo Wars or ODST, so it doesn't seem to have much of a use for me.

    Does anyone know if this is an extra download, or is it getting forced into the firmware with no option to disable it like every other 360 update these days? #halowaypoint

    @Archaotic: I doubt it. I believe that the actual Waypoint program will be a separate app that'll be accessible in the Games Library section of the dash.

    All speculation on my part, really, but I believe that's how it's going to roll. If not, it would have been mentioned in the preview dash update starting this week. #halowaypoint

    Wow, that is pretty amazing. Although I am not into Halo's MP as much as Halo 2 (the first game to get me addicted to playing online with friends) this is all some extremely neat stuff.

    It makes me wish that Infinity Ward was treated as well as Bungie and could have a section like this.

    And no matter how much the haters will hate, Bungie really delivers on a great console FPS experience, there is little to no competition there. #halowaypoint

    Alright, so I like Halo myself, I even started a #HaloStories page for people to tell us their awesome tales of stuff that happened during their playing the game, but this sounds a bit over the top... I mean, I guess it will be for Halo 3 and Halo ODST, and Reach when the comes, possibly Wars and Marathon as well?, but this is still a little excessive maybe?

    Or is this similar to my Wii Fit Channel or the Mario Kart Channel on my Wii?

    .... Maybe it isn't silly at all now I think about it...

    @Agent.AealapytsaNotxap(NotASpy): There's not much silly about just enhancing and expanding the community features. As we saw with uncharted 2's twitter stuff competitive online games do look to advance there community features. It'd be a bit better if all games did this in my mind as it's only there if you want to go anyway. #halowaypoint

    @excel_excel: I know, but now I feel silly about my first paragraph.

    I wonder if this channel will allow us to view files on Bungie.net without having to load up the games? I mean, doing that for the screenshots should be simple enough so if they don't have that at least, I'll be annoyed, but if they could also watch the theatre clips and such, that would be very cool. There probably is a way to get it to work, but it may be a little difficult/memory consuming. But if they did it... #halowaypoint

    @Agent.AealapytsaNotxap(NotASpy): I believe they now allow you to export your theatre clips as files viewable on a PC but it's only available to Bungie Pro accounts which is a shame. I have soooo many clips of funny and impressive things and quite a few screenshots too. #halowaypoint

    Thats pretty cool, more games should do this, of course quite a few do, but the 360 doesn't have a browser so it'll be handy for 360 owners #halowaypoint

    @excel_excel: I'd love it if Battlefield and CoD would take their website stats and incorporate them into dashboard widgets.

    I can get lost for quite some time digging through my multiplayer stats, and it would be awesome to have them handy right after I finish up a game session.

    Not to mention the obvious extension of the awards/prestige grinding that it could create... #halowaypoint

    1943 was so well played it destroyed that stat site for well over a week. #halowaypoint

    It's more like a hub for game data, stats and screenshots etc. Great if you're into Halo, pointless if you're not.
