Okay instead of making a lot of little posts with every cool thing I see here is one big one.
0:00 Veto system, looks for a new/game map if a majority hits X to veto.
0:10 Player details screen, shows off how you are doing in Campaign, your multiplayer rank, the split between XP and Skill. I have some questions about the difference between Ranked matches, social matches, and custom games. Looks like only the matches offer XP, not custom games. Im guessing here but the numbers aside each type of game indicate how many of each game you have played, and in turn the XP that offers.
0:37 Nice welcome message on the top of the hud, also nice system-boot effect when you spawn
0:43 An actual walkway up the side of Froman instead of a dirt hill, along with an elevated walkway into the base. Looks like the base has two entrances for vehicles.
1:00 Gamertag is revealed when you are looking at another player, otherwise you see callsigns if they are on your team. No emblems displayed for marking player locations. Also on the top of the hud there is a compass looking thing. I wonder if this is how flag locations will be shown in objective games.
1:02 The generator room is huge! I wonder if you can actually enter that back part of the room with the actual generators. It looks blocked off by the fence.
1:11 The gate has been replaced with giant speed bumps that look to retract into the ground when the console is activated.
1:23 Doesnt look like you need to press a button to pick up equipment. Bubbleshield is no longer just an orb, now on some sort of pedestal. Cool little interface effect with the icon moving from the pickup message to your stock.
1:48 Looks like grenades can knock the bubble shield around once its activated.
1:57 Damage indicator looks like a small red arrow pointing towards the source.
2:11 Grey sidebar pops up along with the score when the player dies. Looks to have three lines I wonder what it is for.
2:30 Power drainer equipment pickup. Wonder what that does. Sucks shields away?
2:54 You can go under Camp Froman. Not much in there but it does open to the sides and the front.
2:59 Is this a deployable anti-grav pad? Looks exactly like the one in the High Ground footage from the Vidoc.
4:16 the Seawall looks awesome. Love the ivy and moss growing on it.
5:09 Looks like it is not as obnoxious to splatter people with the vehicles. The Mongoose took that guy right out. Medals appear in the bottom left corner along with all the kill messages.
6:18 What is this blue orb doing where a sword should be? Is this the new Camo?

While there are some decent looking effects going on, I'd really need to see a intended video to judge the games graphics, because right now, it doesn't look much better than anything else.
You have to weigh in on both ends, though.
While it doesn't look amazing.
-Its still in Beta
-Multiplayer gfx are never as good as SP
-Its in open areas, contrary to Gears of war which had at most 10 enemies on screen at the same time in narrow environments.
Again, i'll have to wait and see what I think about the gfx.
As for the gamplay, looks fun as shit.

ZANZIBAR looks freaking gorgeous.

It's so freaking pretty.

Bungie should make a map that takes place on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. It could be their "water map." The water would be the borders. They need to do it because that water is sooooooo pretty.

If I remember correctly, the beta isn't supposed to have custom matches. So maybe that's why there isn't any XP for that game type.
Nice list though.

Yeah watching the video it certainly looks nicer in motion. And the music...kind of grew on me...

That would make sense, simplest solution and all that. Since you can't play custom games, hence you have 0 custom games played, hence no reason to show your 0 XP.

The new kid is showing up Tieno.
as nice as this looks, remember that not only is this beta, but its not even one of the 3 maps we'll get in the delta (public beta). bungie has stated that one of the reasons why we are getting the 3 maps were getting is because they are furthest along in the beautification process. last resort (zanzibar remake) likely isnt as far along

Looks alright, I expect more from Halo's graphics. Hopefully there are some large jumps in visuals before the game comes out. If this is indeed Alpha, there isn't much to worry about.
Im uploading as much as i can, just finished downloading. the speed on the torrent should be real nice by now.
Just finished watching the video, lighting seems sweet, vehicles look sweet, the rest not so much, but i'd say it has more to do with the video quality than anything esle.
