Career Milestones were Halo Waypoint's overall measure of participation and performance across all Halo games released since September 2007. While they are still visible on the Xbox 360 version, Career Milestones were removed from the web version of Waypoint on October 13, 2014 and replaced by a simple gamerscore total.
Only Xbox 360, Windows 8, and Windows Phone 8 achievements contribute to Career milestones. Halo 2 Vista and Xbox One achievements are not supported.
Description
Milestones are reached by attaining a certain level of Halo gamerscore. When designated Halo gamerpoint levels are reached, new Milestones are earned and awarded in the Career section. Players begin at Milestone 1. As new Halo achievements are earned players level up their career milestone. Each additional Milestone beyond level 16 requires 100 gamerpoints to unlock; earlier Milestones require fewer.[1]
