I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I feel I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community. Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting and many more Halo related things. I’ll also repost interesting articles from the official site, Halowaypoint.com, or from fellow Halo fan sites. As I continue this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on.

Build your own Cubee Master Chief or Spartan Locke

Posted on by

You might have seen large versions of these at Gamestop.

Whether you have or haven’t, the following two graphics (click to make much larger) will allow you to make your own, albeit at a much smaller size.

Have fun, but more importantly, BE CAREFUL (when cutting the pieces out).

Feel free to download and print. If you do make either/both of these, send me some pics and I’ll feature them on the blog!

343 is making an API available for Public Stats!

We haven’t seen this since Halo Reach!

I for one am VERY glad this is happening.

Waypoint will have it’s own dedicated stats system on the site.

Regardless, people like Firestorm, who created the hugely popular HaloCharts are already gauging interest to start up a site.

If he does in particular, his site will most likely be my go-to Halo 5 stat site. The previously mentioned HaloCharts was an astounding site and built a large following of players not only checking their stats, but also finding other like minded gamers to play Halo with.

The following stats will be available:

• Service Record (Life-to-date stats for each player)
• Match History (Access to each match played)
• Carnage Report (Complete statistical breakdown for each player in a match)

At the moment the API is in private beta but should go public right about when Halo 5 Guardians launches.
