but I am a sheep
K/D is important but I would like more information on how the leveling is done, I personally think they should take medals into account.

If you look in one of the shots, you'll see like half of some words off to the left. Like "stoms". Either the guy capturing the screens didn't get the whole shot or the UI slides around instead of pull down menus like Halo 3. Maybe it'll be like the Xbox Dashboard where items come in from behind and out to the front. Nah mean?

:lol That would be cool though if they came out and said "Here are the beta maps, and here is an example map someone made in the new map editor! Try it yourself in September!"Chinner said:
On another note, I'm surprised there haven't been any Alpha leaks. Bungie must have posted a message at the start of the Alpha saying your head will be placed next to Ling Ling if you even attempt to leak anything. Good for Bungie and Microsoft, containing those leaks, bad for us eager to see Reach action.
Hopefully we'll get some proper footage soon though...2 Minutes Turkish

So glad it will reward assists more now.
My KD ratio is barely 1.0 but I do usually get a large number of assists.
A friend of mine and I who play Halo a lot together have dubbed myself the 'fabric softener' :lol :lol :lol
I soften people up for someone to finish them off.:lol :lol

Shhh!!! It's a secret to keep the trolls out of the convo for now. I like reading the positive and somewhat intellectual observations from HaloGAF as opposed to seeing someone complain how Reach matchmaking will suck and how <insert game here> is better. :lol
BTW: Nice work shacknews. I never heard of the site until today and now will more than likely read the other articles on the site too.

The matchmaking information sounds truly fantastic. It seems like it could be a complete revolution for online interfaces, and I can't applaud Bungie enough for going right back to the drawing board and really keeping the player experience in mind when designing everything. The UI is wonderful to look at, and it seems it's even more wonderful under the hood.
I never thought hearing about how a game's menus work would hype me for a game, but there you go. :lol
I believe I read that your Arena rank will be stored on your record each month (need to read over it again to make sure) and I'm sure that will mean a lot of people are going to keep playing because they don't want a low ranking being permanently recorded. It could make the mode very addictive if it sinks its teeth into you.

Hey Urk/bleahy/whoever:
How are the 3 options determined? Are they the ones nobody played just prior? Or the ones played in the fewest matches for the last 3 matches by the players? I hope they're not just random and we don't see 1-flag on Valhalla 3 times in a row-like situations again :lol

Wow, does Sword Base remind anyone of Prisoner for Halo: CE?
Also, the new matchmaking details sound really nice! Bungle are masters of Matchmaking. Don't deny, foo.

Arena sounds really, really great. This is a great Idea, I'm really stoked to consistently finish in the lowest rank. :lol
I don't think it will determine sellers, but I do think it will prevent those people who just wanted to go up in rank.
Speaking of which, are we going to seee the true skill rank?

Most games still have yet to catch up with Halo 3... hell, even Halo 2. Reach is going to be insane.Yessssssbleahy said:Tomorrow I'll be posting more interview type stuff about matchmaking and playlists.
