Bring back the Halo Reach style pregame lobby

This should honestly be implemented asap as a quality of life patch. We have all these emblems and nameplates that no one can see because the current lobby setup doesn’t allow it.

I’m not gonna sit here and say that if you guys don’t implement this change it’ll “kill Halo” or that I’ll hate you because that gets us nowhere. I simply think that it’d be a nice change and we’d also get to see which players will be on which team, possibly comp ranks as well. Overall this would add a lot to the game

I did like the Reach lobby ui more then Halo 5.

I think the Reach lobby UI was darn near perfect. You could see everyone’s armor, rank, party size, emblem, all pre-match. That was an excellent system.

I played Reach recently and it was nice seeing everyone’s gamertags, their armor, and if they were in a party or not. You could also hear and mute them individually.

I get that I think 343 did it to stop people from quitting if they matched someone they didn’t want to play, but it’s like they went completely backwards in this area.

I really like how you could tell who was in a party, it would also be nice to see everyone’s rank. I would definitely like to see this type of UI implemented for Halo 5.

Yeah the H5 lobby leaves a lot to be desired.

I agree with this. Reach was such a good experience all around and though Halo 5 is amazing by itself, it could take a few notes from Reach.

In Halo 5 when looking at the carnage report, looking at other players is still buggy.
Also yes, im tired of seeing damn emblems. A major downgrade from Halo 4, also customization!

I did like the Halo Reach UI. Was always cool to see other players armor right before the game started. I think something like this would be awesome for Halo 5. Because I always like viewing the other players Level/armor.

I wasn’t a big fan of Reach, but the UI was one of a few things I really liked. Bungie did a great job there. So I guess we know why 343I won’t use it, because they don’t want to seem to use anything that worked great in past Halo games lol

Na, I think that Halo 5’s UI is the best there is, why would it be what we have If it wasn’t?
Is what I would say if I liked it.

I’m glad to see so many people responded to the thread. Hopefully this catches the eye of someone that can actually make this change ! :smiley:

The Halo: Reach UI is basically just the H2 lobby but more fleshed out with more features. That said, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

It had the guys at the bottom, if you were in splitscreen there would be a bug were all the other guys would change to the hosts armour.

Really peved me off that last part…

It wasn’t anything super, it worked (mostly)

I think it’s probably too late to implement this change into Halo 5, but it’s a very reasonable request for Halo 6.

And nameplates? Where did you get one of those?
