'''Gamerscore''' ([[File:HP Icon Gamerscore.png|20px]]) is an awarded point system awarded as part of the [[achievement]]s system of [[Xbox 360]], [[Xbox One]], [[Xbox One X]], [[Xbox Series X/S#Xbox Series S|Xbox Series S]], and [[Xbox Series X/S|Xbox Series X{{!}}S]] games, alongside other [[Xbox LIVE]]-connected services such as [[Windows]] and [[Xbox Cloud Gaming]]. Every achievement unlocked in a game awards the player with a gamerscore value, set by the developer, with the player's sum gamerscore total then shown on their Xbox Live profile. The amount of points awarded for a given achievement varies depending on how many achievements are in a game, and the difficulty.
A '''Gamerpoint''' is an award given in a numerical value shown on your [[gamertag]]. You attain gamerpoints after completing special tasks or milestones in a game, otherwise known as [[achievement]]s. In some games, gaining a certain amount of gamerpoints unlocks something in the game, such as [[armor]] or new [[weapons]], or gaining a certain number of gamerpoints can also gain achievements in some games. While most games have 1000 gamerpoints in total, some games (eg. [[Xbox Live]] Arcade games) have far less than 1000 gamerpoints. Also, some games are not shipped with 1000 gamerpoints, but offer achievements as downloadable content. The total amount of Gamerpoints is called the "Gamerscore" by most people. Normally a game has 1000 gamerpoints but if an expansion pack is released more can be added on. The [[Armor Permutations|Armour Permutation]] [[Security Armor|Security]] can only be unlocked by collecting 1000 [[Halo 3]] Gamerpoints. Other Permutations can only be achieved by completing [[achievements]].
They have no purpose besides "bragging rights". Although some achievements unlock game content such as gamer pictures.


Note: These are not to be confused with "Microsoft Points", which are a stored-value system used for purchasing content on Xbox Live.
==''Halo'' games that award Gamerscore==
All ''Halo'' titles released since the launch of the Xbox 360 have awarded Gamerscore. By default, games launching on Xbox have a total of 1,000 gamerscore to unlock, though [[Downloadable content]] released for ''Halo'' games typically comes bundled with some exclusive achievements to unlock that raise the gamerscore total.


==Campaign Achievements & Gamerpoints==
===''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista===
