Goodbye to old Halo Waypoint Badges

Community General Discussion

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.
Iā€™ll be fine to see my Halo 5 beta"badge" go. :tangerine::v:

Iā€™ll miss my little ā€œE3 2012ā€ badge. But, eh, ultimately these are forums. Ranking up was never really the point and ultimately didnā€™t mean much.

Itā€™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 Iā€™ll definately miss the old one :slight_smile:

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

Oh the times, they are a-changinā€™.

Itā€™s refreshing to see how many old bnet people are here and how theyā€™re comparing this new transition to what bnet faced years ago. Yes, right now with the loss of rank and badge features itā€™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 whatā€™s familiar to make something new.

The old badges were so arbitrary, a good majority of them werenā€™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 ainā€™t got no badges. We donā€™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 Iā€™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. Hereā€™s hoping the updated site will bring in new members once Halo Infinite releases but Iā€™m sure Reddit will still be the go to for a lot of people.

I miss badges, too. Maybe weā€™ll see em added back at some point. Hereā€™s to the future!
