Hello,
The "Official Arch Linux Install Guide" says:
3.1.1. Pre-boot
...Once the installation medium has started booting you will see the Arch Linux logo and a _grub_ menu waiting for your selection.
Most likely you can just hit enter at this point.
If Grub hangs, you're one of the unlucky few whose CD-rom drive doesn't work with _grub_ and you should try the _isolinux_ image.
But the chapter "2.2. Available images" says also that there are only two variants of installation media, "core" and "net" and both of them use the _isolinux_ bootloader... Isn't it contradictory? Or there is something i don' understand... I'd just like to clarify this.
Thanks in advance.

-another Arch newb here(coming from debian), so pls forgive any inaccuracies...
With the core media you get what could be referred to as a base install; with the "net" version you get everything from the repos, as I understand it.

@miro_007: looks like that is indeed wrong. Make a bug report.

The latest install media uses the grub bootloader. If it works, don't worry about it.
hrsetrdr: the net install simply grabs the latest version of the core packages, it doesn't copy a huge repository to your local drive

No, they all use isolinux...

Oh, come to think of it If arch doesn't use grub2 then the installer wouldn't use grub2, and that's the only way it could look the way it does.
I thought it was grub all this time but isolinux makes more sense.

lol, I should have stated "everything you need from the repos".
