Yeah, I know it isn't perfect, nor is it complete, but here it is in all of it's glory!

What do ya think? If you wish, (nicely) point out any mistakes or give some tips on how to make it look better! I love constructive criticism, but I hate flamers!

Well, I left a little room for some more bars under Recent Matches and all that to actually post that stuff. I know it's probably too much space, but I would rather have it like that so I don't have a lot of moving to do later today when I work on it more (and hopefully finish)

More depth in the color scheme. Maybe an bgimg from a corner with some alpha overlay to fade it to the bgcolor?

Also, play with your antialiasing, don't be afraid to use a bit of alpha on button edges.
Don't like the button font, either.. isn't that the Diablo/D2 font? Might try something more futuristic like Proletarian, to fit with the theme.

This happens a lot with new folks too.. too many borders, too close to each other. Floating elements and whitespace are goooood.

Yeah, it's the Diablo font for now, couldn't find anything to match it well. As for the bolded text, 'tis why I hate following tutorials at times, too easy usually means a noobish looking result. I am mixing 3 or 4 tuts for this, trying to learn some new stuff with it.

EDIT: As for the bg image, I am currently trying to find a good Master Chief image to use. I have a ton on my flash drive, I might look through them later.
