This week’s bulletin from Waypoint is well..boring and misleading at the same time.
Let me give you the synopsis:
• Talk of a Super Bowl party with details of gorging on food, blah blah, BS Angel being inappropriate a few times, blah blah blah.
• Boring screenshot
• Stats topic-this in an effort to stave off the negative feelings felt throughout the Halo community after it was announce last week that 343 would NOT be allowing API to be used by the community and is not planned to be used in the near future. Your stats, your COMPLETE stats that is, are being held hostage…LOL. Seriously, I love checking stats, but I can live without them. Point is though that 343 is just taking them away without a suitable/comparable replacement. Sorry Waypoint, your stat system is woefully inadequate when compared to sites like HaloTracker and the now defunct Halo Charts. Don’t try to deny that.
• Team Slayer jackpot possibility of 50K credits. Okay that’s about the coolest part of the bulletin. Special Campaign challenge can net you 10K credits. Good enough.
• Next Frank O’Conner talks about Halo 4…well not really. He talks about the talks he’s had with European partners about Halo 4 and how they were all excited. All well and good but it’s we fans who will be buying the game, map packs, toys, etc. that really need to hear this info. Right now we’re getting a bunch of promises that the game is awesome. But they are rather empty. I really do want to have faith in what 343 can produce. That faith is being sorely tested with the lack of info. I’m not the only one. All you need do is check out the forums on Waypoint to see the dissension regarding the lack of info.
• Some community questions are answered, kind of.
In other words, you can skip the bulletin for this week. Other than the 50K credits for play Team Slayer, there isn’t anything else of worth in it. 😛
