The "Vidmaster" set of achievements found on Halo 3.

An Achievement is a reward given to players when they accomplish certain gaming feats decided by the developer in videogames published for Games for Windows Live and the Xbox 360 console. Since the launch of the Xbox 360, it has been a mandatory requirement by Microsoft that all videogames published on the console (including 360 versions of multiplatform games) feature Achievements.

Most Achievements also award the player Gamerpoints that count towards a gamer's total Gamerscore. These points, while not redeemable, are intended to serve as a tangible form of special rewards for unusual or skilled actions within game play.^[1]

Halo Waypoint

It is worth noting that Halo Waypoint has no Achievements in and of itself. This is likely due to the fact that because Waypoint contains no original gameplay, any Achievements granted by it would just be rewarding players again for accomplishments they had already completed. Waypoint instead has Awards, achievable and viewable simply by accessing Waypoint after carrying out certain tasks in the various Halo games.
