So once someone invites me, what do I have to actually do?

Damn I didn't realize it's only the 18th, that's an entire extra week. Must not be as many preview sign ups as I though

IE Halo CE, Halo 2.I'm optimistic though because this is gonna be the first standalone Arena Halo in 5 years. And 343i is giving it a very competitive focus, which previously, has always lead to a solid game.

Competitive support and focus isn't going to save the game from flaws.

I question to what effect they really have power, and I'm sure they aren't all-knowing on the matter and are more than capable of making bad calls. Clambering/climbing is surely one of them, if any of the pros did have a say on that mechanic.
