Bring back Halo 3/Reach style lobbies

This is the worst lobby menu thats ever been in a halo game i have no idea why something simple that worked and looked great was changed, in the old games all the players were on the right of the screen and you could see their gamertag and view their armor/stats now theres no point of it being there at all all you see is some players emblems thats it so i hope it gets updated back to the old style sometime soon

agree, Halo 5’s UI is among the worst in the series

reach’s was pretty much perfect IMO

yeah, then when you saw yourself playing against someone who is ranked high, you would quit. then your team who stayed would be at a disadvantage. no thank you.

that compromises the system that 343 has in place

Reach by far had the best interface.

Quitters will always exist. If 343 wanted to they could hide the rank until after the game. It’s still nice to see armor, stances, and being able to mute annoying people before the game starts.

takes two seconds to mute a teammate.

you can look at that stuff post game, it only takes two second.

yes, there always will be quitters - but you can curb that number, and this is how.

People still quit either way so their system clearly has no affect and you could say that for any game then have you seen any other game that does this? because i havent whats the point if having a rank/armor when no one can even see it…

like I said, it curbs the rate at which people quit.

I dont need to see the ranks because people would quit way more if they saw someone higher than them. But yeah being able to see gamertags and their spartans would be nice.

people will still scan their gamertag in game with the back button.

I just wouldn’t mind map selection back. I guess I do kind of miss seeing people’s armor and junk though.

I always stuck around for matches even when I was faced against generals, in the end it comes down to sheer dedication and practicing finding the best playstyle that suits you from map to map. I am slowly getting into the groove of 5 but hate the lack of varients. Reach had the best amount of playlist to cater to a player’s particular tastes. Want to play some objectives or btb gametypes, go to that playlist and find the map you want by voting, none of this random luck of the draw lists. I do better on some maps than I do on others at times due to the layouts So given the choice, I would rather fight on my terms if given the chance.you want people to stop quitting, give them aa reason. What do they want to play and where? no point in playing on a map that you know you despise because that’s how the rotation worked. So we what if we voted and didn’t get on the map we wanted, I’m going to tough it out but that is only because I know not only is there a bonus in it for me but another chance to vote and hopefully get the map and gametype I want.

yeah, but they don’t see their rank. and honestly if youre so worried about who youre playing against that youll let yourself idle there and get killed 5 times - then you probably just shouldn’t play the game.

The thread is about the lobby. How do you mute someone in Lobby in two seconds?

Plus, once you’re in game, the icon that denotes who’s using their mic doesn’t always work. Some 12 year old is screeching, and no mic icons are showing anyone talking.

you cant handle someone screeching for 30 seconds?

use mute all, and unmute as you go.

also, this thread is about viewing service records, emblems and stats as well. the old lobby system.

Okay, I thought you were just giving a pointless, non-answer. Thanks for confirming. Keep defending poor design, fanboy.

I don’t care about seeing everyone’s ranks and stuff. I just want it to be easier to add people and see stuff. But then I feel the whole Xbox UI needs to be reworked. Too much going in and out of different screens.

This topic wasnt even really about ranks so dont know why you keep bringing it up all i want is the old look and functionality at the least with being able to see gamertag and armor anything else isnt that big of a deal

Doesn’t stop people from quitting right now …
