New Features
•XBOX LIVE ENABLED!!
•The ghost will have a boost feature, doubling its speed but reducing its control
•The warthog will not slide around as much, making it more realistic
•The rocket launcher will have a tracking feature. When you follow an object and the reticule turns red, you are locked on
•The banshee can perform barrel rolls
•All vehicles can be destroyed
•The environment can be destroyed (i.e. you could shoot apart a wall)
•The game features interactive buttons and switches within maps
•You can play as an elite, or MC
•You have no health meter, just a shield; you can only take a few hits on a completely drained shield before you die. But it also recharges faster, just a few seconds is all it takes.
•You can customize your own armor with trim, main, and secondary colors
•You can customize an icon that will appear above your head along w/ your name
•The needler has had a badass makeover and now has another function besides “Big Purple Boxing Glove”

[/b][/u]Xbox Live Features[/u][/b]
•Two types of games:
A. Matchmade games (ranked) – These games are completely random and only offer 3 main options: Large Team, Small Team, and Free for All. The games are arranged by skill, but the randomness is so that one person who could hit a fly at 200 yards with a sniper rifle could rule all players and gain high rank. But the point is that you could end up in anything from Hang ‘em High Rockets to Blood Gulch CTF; so start training with all those not-exactly-my-favorite guns right away ‘cause you could very well get stuck with that combo.
B. Arranged games (unranked) – These games are completely and totally customizable. Every little detail from weapons to vehicles is at the disposal of that tiny blob of gray matter that you call a brain. Have fun and be creative!
•Awesome UI that will revolutionize Xbox Live
•Downloadable content has been hinted… :)
•Easily accessible chat; is activated by pressing white button. The white button opens a channel, that is automatically closed after talking ceases.

This is basically all the facts that I can pull out of my tired magic hat at the moment, so post here and bang on my skull if additions or corrections are needed!
