I can’t remember if what I’d like to talk about has been asked before, so I thought I’d start this thread about the topic.
I remember how we tried to create an icon of the Halo Waypoint community before. At first glance, it resulted in a very nice, new avatar for bs angel hehe. But perhaps we also influenced the creation of the Marathon symbol replacement in the centre of the new Combat Evolved Anniversary title art? (old / new)
Anyway, as I thought about the upcoming Community Carnage event versus Bungie.net, I was wondering if us Halo Waypoint users should have a community identity akin to the Bungie community’s 7th Column monkier.
Generally I’ve seen users refer to each other colloquially using the term “Halo Waypointers.” Although it’s a bit waffly. I think we deserve something a little cooler and snappier.
My idea for a community identity would be “Waypoints,” because in your HUD during the games, apart from objectives, your allies are always represented by Waypoints. And you guys are my allies, so it all makes sense to me. But perhaps you have a better idea?
Please post your opinions and ideas in this thread! I’d love for us to determine an identity for the Halo Waypoint community, especially before the Community Carnage. It’ll be the 7th Column versus write name here
Get your thinking caps on!
Quick tips:
- Make it relate to our community.
- Make it clear. We don’t want to be confused with something else.
- Make it memorable.

UPDATE:
I’m now taking votes for which names folks would like in order to gauge our collective opinion. I think it will be interesting to see if there is a runaway winner, or see whether we’re just plain undecided. xD
