Language is such as wonderful thing - especially in games PR. Apparently 343 Industries isn't attaching a motion comic to the Halo series, instead it "Grows (the) Halo Universe with New Waypoint Features and Dramatic Motion Comic.
This is because "the 10th Anniversary of the Halo franchise celebration kicks off this August."
Ten years of Halo, eh? You feel old now, don't you?
Anyway, marketing shagdaggery aside, the facts are that:
- Starting on the 15th of April your Halo Reach service record will be fully accessible from Waypoint.
- It comes with a 'Compare with Friends' feature that lets you compare your stats against your friends.
- There are "two new Waypoint career levels".
- The update also adds the ability to launch the Games on Demand version of Halo Reach straight from Waypoint.
- There is a new new video player, which features the same “Instant On” streaming technology utilised by Zune.
Right, we've edited that quite heavily for you.
As for the comic:
The Mona Lisa will appear on Halo Waypoint next Saturday, 23 April. It is a comic that retells a "dark tale" from the Halo Evolutions anthology, set shortly after the events of “Halo: Combat Evolved”. It's been created by the production studios at ONE and Pyramind.
Finally, there are also new Halo avatar gear and props, "including a new selection of Spartan helmets and Red vs. Blue T-shirts for campers and Grifball fans alike" available 14 April on Xbox LIVE.
