All the rage with shooters these days is having the ability to have in-depth insight on it, i.e., having stats and strategies in the palm of your hand. Call of Duty Elite will have an application for mobile devices, and starting tomorrow, Halo will too.
ATLAS, or Assisted Tactical Assault System, is a "companion" app that will deliver "near-real-time" tactical data to help you on the multiplayer frontlines. Co-developed with Brady Games, you'll be able to study map design and layout while on the go and while you play, in addition to viewing: weapon and vehicle spawn locations for multiplayer and "Firefight," health-pack locations, near-real-time weapon and vehicle locations in custom games, the location of yourself and your team on the map, and current scores for each team.
You can also enable "Follow me" to track your movements. Near-real-time movement data can also be accessed in matchmaking in Halo: Reach.
This will also mark the first time Waypoint is available on iOS and Android devices. Waypoint will be free across all three platforms, though iOS and Android users will have to shell out $4.99 for ATLAS, while Windows Phone users get it for free.
