Goodbye to old Halo Waypoint Badges

I actually kind of predicted the legacy badges being replaced/discarded. I saved and documented all of them and what they were for so that they can be preserved in some way. Seems a shame when cool features like that get lost to time.

I find it sad that I lost my original HaloCE-PC code ā€œnameplateā€ from Bnet.
I’ll be fine to see my Halo 5 beta"badge" go. :tangerine::v:

I’ll miss my little ā€œE3 2012ā€ badge. But, eh, ultimately these are forums. Ranking up was never really the point and ultimately didn’t mean much.

It’s going to take some getting used to, but seems nice on first impressions.

Super sad to see the forum ranks go, especially since I just got to the next rank yesterday! :sob:

Have to say, I never really cared for badges.

A new Era of Halo has begun. I love the new Waypoint, but I’ll definately miss the old one :slight_smile:

@Yo_Erk They might add them in later

@Sir_Cool_One It meant a little to me though…

I remember being an Exalted Legendary Member from the Bnet days.

Oh the times, they are a-changin’.

It’s refreshing to see how many old bnet people are here and how they’re comparing this new transition to what bnet faced years ago. Yes, right now with the loss of rank and badge features it’s going to feel like a downgrade as well as a loss of legacy, but it also presents new opportunity for the future. Sometimes we have to give up what’s familiar to make something new.

The old badges were so arbitrary, a good majority of them weren’t even unlockable to regular users.

I like the new badges, but I think it feels kind of bad to not carry the old over or not have some sort of equivalent.

ā€œBadges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges!ā€

I think some of the old badges that recognized notable accomplishments were a good idea and should be reinstated if possible. The more inside ā€œfriends and familyā€ ones can be ignored and left behind.

Yeah I’m a bit upset about it but I do love the new sleek design of this new Waypoint and the new service awards are looking awesome. Here’s hoping the updated site will bring in new members once Halo Infinite releases but I’m sure Reddit will still be the go to for a lot of people.

I miss badges, too. Maybe we’ll see em added back at some point. Here’s to the future!
