Several new website domains have been registered, but aren't online yet. The domains were registered by Microsoft, and they appear to be stores of some sort for Halo 4 or the Halo franchise altogether. If you're interested in this sort of thing, I listed the Whois below.

HaloExchange.com Whois
HaloExchange.net Whois
HaloWaypointStore.com Whois
HaloWaypointstore.net Whois
UNSCExchange.com Whois
UNSCExchange.net Whois

The websites aren't live yet, so attempting to go to them will result in a redirect by Microsoft servers to Bing.

Halo 4 "Haven" Map Walkthrough
Haven is a multiplayer map in Halo 4 that rests high above Requiem's surface.

These elaborate machines enable artificial planets to support their immense populations of indigenous life.

Halo 4 "Abandon" Map Walkthrough
On the remote world of Erebus VII, at the very edge of human-occupied space, an ONI research facility which was once teaming with researchers now lies eerily vacant. Although the hostility of this world had been initially considered by its team leaders, it is tragically clear that a great many ‘things’ had simply not been taken into account.

Abandon is a mysteriously abandoned ONI research station on a hostile alien planet. Initial surveys of this area were bold and promising, but it quickly became clear that these reports were far more hubris than logic.

While most Forerunner technology appears to support safe usage over immense passages of time, the failure of specific systems can cause a cascading effect which dramatically impacts a site’s foundational composition. This frigid moon’s icy conditions once served to control a Forerunner reactor’s intense heat, but those days are now long gone.

I think the sites might be a place were you can buy merchandise related to halo, or as the word says perhaps exchange it with other people..

What's the purpose of those sites, maybe get some more halo information on the game?
