I used ericstifers Idea and adapted it...

<Main Menu>
It would be like halo 2 when you go to the main menu of Halo Reach there is the options of

Campain
-Solo?/Coop?
-Lobby

Multiplayer
-Lobby

Xbox Live
-(it would be called)Compartment or Quarters

Forge
-Lobby

Theater
-Lobby

The reasons for these are for people without Xboxlive, so if you were always on XBL you would probably never use this menu.

When you select Xbox Live it will ask you to connect(if you havent) and then send you to your Quarters or Compartment.(yes this means you can only acess if you have XBL).

You spawn in first person, in a small UNSC Battle Crusier(If you have the option to be an Elite, you'd be in a Covenant themed one, but to keep it simple, iys just different skins and you dont need to load special stuff to meet other people if they are spartans).
Okay Anyway, Behind you is a Cyro Pod to simbolise you just came from it, if you turn around, the option to leave your Quarters comes up with RB.

To your right is your locker, you walk up and open it, in there is all settings options and appearence options.

Farther down the wall is a door that leads to a hallway(but teleports you to the conference room.) in it is 16 chairs, your in one of em and when a player joins they pop up and sit down. the leader of the lobby is in the Big chair. Everyone has regular start menu/ appearence and settings stuff because you cant walk around to your room unless you select exit party.
the Leader has more options however, he selects from, Custom Games, Matchmaking, and FireFight. We can se what he is choosing as he does it just like the normal games(its just in a little screen).

Back in the room Theres a Big tv on the wall with an Xbox 360,(its on the wall you spawn looking at) From here you access the theater. It acts like a normal lobby its just in a smaller screen (like in the conference room) its like if you minimized your screen on a computer. so you can still see the backround of your room and all the players that joined. The leader will be at the top of the list highlighted in yellow outline. Everyone can move around in there room to change appearence and look at stats and post game carnage(will explain in a bit) and jump around for fun.

On the same wall, a desk with scatterd papers shows bluprints of maps. This of course, leads to the forge lobby. It looks the same as the conference room lobby and theater lobby.

on the next wall to the right, there are two windows and The Stats and Postgame report board. The first window shows reach (doesnt matter, glassed or not) Next o it is a desk with a computer, use this to access stats. Since you dont need a lobby for this it takes the whole screen up. this basically shows your service record and in depth stuff (like the B.net stats )

The next window mainly shows the deck of Covenant cruiser, makes it more believable for Elite users. and lastly, next to this is a board, it shows you post game stats, like the computer, it takes up the whole screen.

It would also be cool to unlock scenery and themes for fun when you get certain Achevements.

(any suggestions/ comments?)

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Or we could just have a Halo 3 themed lobby that says "Enter matchmaking by pressing the A button". Instead of this fancy, unnecessary stuff.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

No sir, -Beep- you and the horse you rode in on!

I like the idea of starting in Battle Cruisers, but I think you should only be able to drop into the fight from them.

although what he says would be very cool. but its unnecessary and would take up more space than needed be. I'm fine with the lobby they have always used.
