I couldnt find anyother place for this. Is there anyway to eliminate combat text. In split screan with 3-4 players the text covers the reticle/cross hairs and i suck enough with aim so dont need that help. I dont need to know who killed who or who commited suicide
There isn’t an option to fix this in game sadly. But here are my suggestions:
A) Purchase a larger television
B) Change the resolution of the screen using the television remote
C) Try setting up a LAN connection, if your friends/relatives have an Xbox and another television in the house, you could connect them to a LAN line and play within the same house.
Happy gaming, my friend 
There was a thread on the Reach Opitmatch forums on this issue, and it was a good thread. If I find the thread I’ll for sure link it because this is a legitimate problem for people who play on splitscreen.
I’ve seen the issue first hand. The text will read: “Player A killed Player B with a headshot”. That text will actually go into the center of the screen close to the reticule. This really hurts the experience of playing Halo: Reach splitscreen. I played it at my buddies when we had 3 people on the Xbox and I was on the lower right hand corner.
The general consensus of the b.net thread was that we don’t need such detailed descriptions of who killed who. It was better in Halo 3 because the text feed was short and sweet. A simple headshot medal appearing in the text feed would provide adequate info on the kill.
