Article recovery Guide
This is a guide to recover articles that the internet archive didnt save.

On the internet archive (well old Waypoint) there is an "id" for each Waypoint article. Articles may hold links which have these ids in them that the internet archive didnt save.
 * Example: 4aa60b40e301459b84df3e4df09b4ced (Authors: Part 1)

These can be used with the following url
 * http://console-service-ssl.halo.xbox.com/ArticleService.svc/en-us/articles/ID?ver=2

Where you replace "ID" with the "id" of the article.
 * http://console-service-ssl.halo.xbox.com/ArticleService.svc/en-us/articles/4aa60b40-e301-459b-84df-3e4df09b4ced?ver=2


 * Another example: http://console-service-ssl.halo.xbox.com/ArticleService.svc/en-us/articles/48e2cc59-eb62-4d1f-ad73-819e1bfe0f16?ver=2

Video recovery guide
This is the guide to recover old Waypoint videos.

If you want a video you need to first recover the article the video was linked to like shown above.

Using the above examples above. To access the video you need


 * 1. The video base url
 * http://videos.halowaypoint.com/videos1/f6e0beb1a61a428c84f1e249781293d8/
 * http://videos.halowaypoint.com/videos1/5057f17306f84e4ba31bdf22a53142bb/
 * 2. The vid manifest code
 * 145743
 * 148052

To recover the video you then need to use the following link. And replace VIDID with the video base url. And replace VIDMANI with the vid manifest code.
 * Blank example: VIDID/VIDMANI-4-3058000-aapl.mp4
 * Example1: http://videos.halowaypoint.com/videos1/f6e0beb1a61a428c84f1e249781293d8/145743-4-3058000-aapl.mp4
 * Example2: http://videos.halowaypoint.com/videos1/5057f17306f84e4ba31bdf22a53142bb/148052-4-3058000-aapl.mp4
