New game modes include [[Arena]], [[Headhunter (Game Variant)|Headhunter]], [[Stockpile]], and [[Invasion]]. Arena is a ranked, skill-based playlist in month-long seasons, of which there are five divisions: Onyx, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. Ranked and social playlists have returned as well. In ''Halo: Reach'', the 'Party Up' system is now the 'Opt-Out' system. Players will automatically be placed together but they have the option to leave. The player can also set advanced settings for finding matches. If, for example, the player relies heavily on teamwork or in-game chat, the player can choose to find people with similar settings.
