V4R14N7 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 maybe what you saw was something we get for unlocking stuff in Waypoint this October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coadster1 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 you can purchase halo avatar wear from the avatar marketplace Correct, what you saw can simply be bought from the Avatar Marketplace. Is this it? http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/SNAKESHKER/avatar-body.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O L D I C E Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have yet to come across any awards being shown there even when a message popped up on my screen saying I have unlocked a gamer picture, I thought it would show up there but it didn't.

Colonel K3wl Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Uh, I was thinking the same thing, too. I thought Microsoft said that with newer releases, we'll be getting avatar awards. Especially if it's a game like ODST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it's a game like ODST. You missheard; they said they will be supporting avatar awards. Not that they were required in any way, shape, or form. There are none in ODST, just FYI; which seems a little strange[then again just means more dumb people buying crap from marketplace, so more money for them].

Anyways, there are currently purchasable ODST accessories out on the marketplace... but I would really like free ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it's a game like ODST. Once upon a time when the atrocity that is the avatar was announced, they also touted that unlocking a tier of gamescore would allow/give you more stuff for your avatar. To give a little more meaning to the achievement system other than bragging rights. But obviously not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusta1 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think he was trying to talk about the ODST unlockable armor that was previewed a while back. I think Microsoft scraped Avatar awards when they noticed how many people bought avatar clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neok182 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 At E3 microsoft showed and said that ODST would have an unlockable ODST armor, though apparently it never happened because there is no award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APassingShadow Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Did anyone try going to the Bungie forums and asking Bungie?? After all it is their game so they would have put it in there. This is really shitty because ODST armor, the bonus disc, and Halo: Reach Beta are the main reason I bought this. I really hate my avatar and wish I could just turn him into a shadow of an avatar cause that would be cool. ODST armor would have been cool also for free.

APassingShadow Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Mr. Assassin that is the gear that I thought was coming with Halo: ODST giving it a nice bonus incentive to purchase this $30 game for $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neok182 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It has been asked at bungie forums and bungie refuses to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CunningFox Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It has been asked at bungie forums and bungie refuses to answer. Maybe it will have something to do with Halo Waypoint or the Reach Beta. You are all just going to have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are all just going to have to wait and see. possible, the reason why so many people are upset, including myself, is that this was shown at E3, and i don't remember when/where it was said, but it was said that the armor would be an award for ODST and now ODST is here and it's not out.

l.maciver Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 the awards have yet to be released, there is picture out of what you can get but for the xbox community just now its the avatar marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline240 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Why would Microsoft release free avatar awards when they can just charge for them on the marketplace? The avatar system pisses me off. I just want to revert back to the old xbox dashboard without Microsoft's marketing ploy waving at me when I turn my system on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
