Arena Questions - and Answers
Overdoziz pointed out a Bungie.net thread in which Ferrex is answering a bunch of questions about Arena. Go check out what's already up - we might put up an edited transcript later, to make reading a bit easier. (He's on a lunch break right now.) (Louis Wu 20:05:41 UTC) (permalink)
Building a Better Experience - from the Ground Up
More coolness from Shacknews: Brian Leahy adds a third article to his Reach coverage, this one loking at Reach's Matchmaking and 'Active Roster'. You absolutely need to read this if you play Halo multiplayer. (Louis Wu 18:16:42 UTC) (permalink)

Friday Caption Fun, Round 84
It's Friday, so it's time for another Friday Caption Fun episode at Hawty McBloggy's - Hawty makes fun of me for seeing sex where there wasn't any (she's SUCH a bad influence), and posts a shot of a Bungie staff meeting for your captioning pleasure. While you're there, thinking of some funny thing to write about Jason Jones, be sure to check out an awkward in-game moment... it's funny. (Louis Wu 13:58:02 UTC) (permalink)
So what's YOUR QB Rating?
ShackNews posted a more in-depth look at Halo: Reach's Arena system, building on the article they posted yesterday. It's a fascinating read, and the more you learn, the harder it's going to be to wait through the 6 weeks remaining until the Beta goes live. And it looks like they'll have even more for you later today.

Will Roboclaw forgive his old henchman? Will Master S meet Alex Trebek? You'll have to watch to find out. (Louis Wu 12:49:37 UTC) (permalink)
Double XP Weekend: Maption Sack
This weekend's Double XP Playlist (which went live yesterday afternoon) is Maption Sack - a collection of community created maps with a variety of slayer and objective gametypes. Tons of fun - but be careful of the 4-player teams of Generals you seem to meet every other game...
