Halo:Reach Looking Better Every Day
Here are some details on Matchmaking and MP tweaks. ShackNews got a coup on this one. I expect the Bungie weekly update to give more details.
My favorite bit of news is the new queuing system that will make it easier to join friends who are already playing. There are some other good nuggets in there such as a more streamlined presentation of friends in-game, which will allow you to not have to use the dashboard as much and an improved voting system.
For those that feel the need to compare yourself to other people online ( compensating for something?) there is the new Arena and monthly leader board rankings. There are also some new items that show an interest in being sure that everyone gets matched with appropriate gamers.
If they could confirm there is no map that is similar to Valhalla in the game I will be in nirvana.


From Bungie.net weekly update:
What’s a Mute Ban? Hopefully you’re not the type of player who’s gonna find out. If you are, we won’t be able to hear you anyway. La la la. Can’t hear you! La la la.
