The Pants Party Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) With the recent patch of 'Splosion Man, a beta of Halo Waypoint (for ODST) and the release of the Lips expansion "Number One Hits," it appears the Avatar Awards game has officially begun. As always, we here at x360a strive to grow and expand as the Xbox community demands, and this is no exception. Replacing the defunct "Cheats" link on each game's official page here on the "business" end of things, you will now find a link called "Awards" which will lead you to an overview of any Avatar Awards that can be earned from that game. Here are the first three games and the awards we have been able to get thusfar. 'Splosion Man Halo 3: ODST Lips Yes, that is a female version of myself under 'Splosion Man, and yes, I still have yet to remember to change it back to male on Live. I look hot in heels though, eh? The other model is forum user x MrsMassacre x, who was kind enough to help us get this launch looking good. I bet you're now thinking, "how can I help!?" Well, I'm glad you asked! The community has always been what drives this site, so here is yet another way to get involved. We clearly don't have all the awards just yet, and there will be plenty more to come in the future. At the moment we still need all the male-specific clothing for Lips and ODST. Coming soon will be Left 4 Dead 2 and the sky is the limit from there. I have updated the Submission Rules and Guidelines thread in the Submit section on the forums to include the process for submitting any Awards to the site. This process if very specific, so if you can help now or plan to in the future, check them out. So, what do you all think? I hope you like the feature as much as we do. We have big plans still in store for the coming months and new year, so be sure to watch this space for future updates UPDATE: Since its inception, many games have featured awards. Here is the complete list: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/awardables/ Edited June 23, 2010 by The Pants Party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litepink Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I hope more and more games utilize this, so that this feature will remain a feasible section of game overviews. i still think "cheats" could work as a section too. a lot of people google "cheats" and it would be great if this site was a destination for it. but, since cheats weren't used, this seems to be a better fit.

CunningFox Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 We need some kind of "catalogue" for all the avatar awards. I think it's great though and I hope all the good games being released soon start including them. Especially Splinter Cell and Mass Effect 2. Edit: and some site awards for submitting unknown items of avatar clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 We'll be adding a link to the list of games with awards on the left taskbar, much like the guides and achievements. As for site awards, that's entirely possible, but isn't having your avatar itself on the site pretty cool!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CunningFox Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 How do I get to this Halo Waypoint? It will become available to us all on the 5th November (Thursday). People who have it now are part of the preview program. I'm actually looking forward to it, from what I've seen it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggy666 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The award is the moniter. The moniter from Halo 3 follows you around. You unlock this award by accessing Halo Waypoint. http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/dX I M 3 N4 C 3/avatar-body.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggy666 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hmm for some reason it doesn't show the prop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hmm for some reason it doesn't show the prop? That's because Props only show up on your Xbox, whether it be you in your My Xbox, or your friends in the Friends tab. The only way to capture a prop is to screen capture your xbox, or take a picture with a digital camera, neither of them are any good quality, unless you have an HD Capture Card.

boblosanchez Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Great idea, and I look forward to automatically unlocked all of those Halo Waypoint avatar items haha. Btw, didn't they release the requirements and previews of Left 4 Dead 2? Because if so, then I'd assume that such information should be on the game page soon.

ricardo rob Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I hope they do this for assasins creed 2 that wud be so cool http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/ricardo+rob.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFZ Scrubs Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Cool, i hope that bioshock 2 will implement this... they probably wil because they should have enough time to stick it in with a 2010 release. Here's hoping a big daddy costume. Also... am i sniffing a forum award for submitting avatar awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stufin135 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hmmm, annoying... I sort of suggested this a while back . But good to see it is implemented, will help a lot of members hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A 2rue boofer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I looked at the ODST avatar link and you seem to be missing some of the awards. One of the ones you are missing is the ODST Forge prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Demon55 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Have the awards been released to the players yet? My awards list still says "Awards will appear here", and I have played one of the games mentioned, Halo 3: ODST. I even put the game back in today, and continued save, then quit. I still do nothave awards for this game. If they have been released, how to I get it so they show up, plus snce they award clothing for certain achievements, and some of those achievements I have, do the clothings appear in my avatar clothing bin? Or does it have to say I earned them through the Award section? Which isn't working for me :\. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the thing they announnced a week or so ago were it contains all information about all your halo games. It was downloadable for me yesterday under the spolight section on the dashboard, but I don't think it goes live to everyone till the 5th. It is called Halo Waypoint.
