I would like to think I’m not alone saying I hated the Halo 4 lobby layout with the players along the bottom in the cheapy red or blue with lens flares and names that are difficult to view (sideways!?) and emblems that are difficult to see.
I believe the Reach (and H3) system was the best with all the players down the right side of the screen, names horizontal with emblems just to the left of your name with a dark unobtrusive background (or maybe just make your name and emblem box not transparent and completely opaque so no colour distract the background) that allowed you too see every bit of information and also allow that persons name box to be in their colour (primary colour of their armour). I far preferred this system because it also allowed you to clearly distinguish people and show the detail.
Halo 4 was a direct downgrade with its cheaply blue computer look all the time.
343 I beg you, please return to the classic and far superior lobby layout.
I definitely agree because so far Reach is my favorite layout. I also liked the background art. Remember the background art changing according to where you were in the campaign?

This definitely, also liked the background art altogether like the Elite lifting the Spartan about to plunge an energy sword through him with the great battle scene in the background. Unlike the Halo 4 constant blue computer screen look.

Oh ya that was one of my favorites along with the Falcon flying through the city. The H4 background was pretty boring to see when waiting for friends or a game to start.
I cry every time I look at the Halo 4 Lobby.
I hope they do return to something akin to the Reach layout.
Halo was definitely on to something good with the Reach UI. I have no idea why 343 replaced it with Halo 4’s clunky mess of a menu system, but I hope they come to their senses.
Halo 4’s UI did what everything else in Halo 4 did - drastically changed for no apparent reason.
Halo: Reach’s UI was a logical progression of Halo 3’s, which was a logical progression of Halo 2’s UI. The same can be said about graphical design. Halo 4 broke the clear progression that existed before.
Hell yes please. I couldn’t stand that clunky baseball card UI lol.
I don’t want to see neither layout, hopefully we get something that we’ve never seen before.
