Halo Waypoint detailed in video [Update]
Microsoft’s released a Halo Waypoint video – after the break – detailing the point behind the upcoming Halo fan’s Live home.
There’s two bits to it, basically: “Intel” and “Career”. Intel’s just tons of stuff from the Halo universe in general, including fiction, upcoming anime, and so on. The Career bit tracks your accomplishments across multiple Halo games. ODST, Halo 3 and all DLC related to them are supported at launch.
It’s out in November. Thanks, Joystiq.
Update – IGN’s posted up some shots.

Looks nice, but after all the hype, seems like little more than a themed menu thinly masking a ploy to make completionists buy all the spin-offs to get multiple game spanning awards.
Hmm. Doesn’t look terrible, but I was expecting something slightly more interactive and immersive than a menu linking up achievements. I’ll no doubt check it out for the animated Halo episodes, but it doesn’t look as engaging as I’d thought it might be.

I was actually expecting the Halo Waypoint to be nothing more than an extra tab on the Dashboard. Not bad.

@Michael: Yeah, same here. I didn’t expect a new interface and some of the neat little features they’re offering.
