Halo Waypoint has received a few new features in preparation for Halo: Reach's launch tomorrow. The upgrades are detailed in the video above, but here's the short list: related articles, the ability to recommend articles and compare career milestones, and exclusive multiplayer armor for Reach.
As someone who has never been huge into the series or tried Halo Waypoint, A) these seem like smart, useful updates and B) why am I this pumped for Reach? The marketing machine has got me, all right.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Yeah, the update was done awhile ago. Still, it looks nice, and the addition of avatar/armor awards is a nice touch. Loved all the videos they post on there. Hopefully they'll continue them with Reach.
I literally never used Halo Waypoint till a few days ago because i'd never bothered to play ODST and I wanted my ODST armor for not killing any engineers!
They changed it for the worse IMO. I used to be able to use my harmony remote to navigate the menus, but now I have to use a controller. Also, a bunch of the older videos don't work anymore.

I'm fucking pumped for Reach and I hate the series. I have no idea what the hell is going on with me.
