| '''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. | | {{Cleanup}} |

| ==''Halo'' games that award Gamerscore==
| | A '''Gamerscore''' is an award given in a numerical value shown on a player's [[multiplayer emblems|gamertag]]. Players attain Gamerscore after completing special tasks or milestones in a game, otherwise known as [[achievement]]s. In some games, gaining a certain amount of Gamerscore unlocks something in the game, such as [[armor]] or new [[weapons]], or gaining a certain number of Gamerscore can also gain achievements in some games. While most games have 1000 Gamerscore in total, some games (eg. [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]] Arcade games) have far less than 1000 Gamerscore. Also, some games are not shipped with 1000 Gamerscore, but offer achievements as downloadable content. The total amount of Gamerscore is called the "Gamerscore" by most people. Normally a game has 1000 Gamerscore but if an expansion pack is released more can be added on. The ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Armor permutations (Halo 3)|Armor Permutation]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant|Security]] can only be unlocked by collecting 1000 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.

| ===''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista===
| |
| While the original ''[[Halo 2]]'' game did not support achievements due to its launch on the original [[Xbox]] console, its [[2007]] [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|PC port]] did, supporting [[Achievements (Halo 2)|41 achievements]] worth 1,000 Gamerscore.

| ===''Halo 3''===
| |
| ''[[Halo 3]]'' was the first ''Halo'' game on console to award gamerscore, shipping with 1,000 gamerscore unlockable at launch across [[Achievements (Halo 3)|49 achievements]]. The [[Legendary Map Pack|Legendary]] and [[Mythic Map Pack]]s later added 750 Gamerscore, bringing the total to 1,750. Notably, ''Halo 3'' is the only ''Halo'' game with in-game rewards tied to unlocks; unlocking 750 gamerscore unlocks the shoulders of the [[SECURITY-class Mjolnir|Security]] in-game [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation]], while reaching 1,000 unlocks the Security helmet and the [[Katana]] body armor.
