DOES HALO 5 NEED A NEW PRE-GAME LOBBY?

im ok with the way the lobby is set up, what it needs is a way to view how many people are in a persons lobby, and who they are.

Duh

I agree.
In Halo Reach and Halo 4, it was sort of interesting to wait in a lobby because you could compare stats, armor, achievements, whatever. To do that now means you have to do that after the game when you actually have access to your lobby’s gamertags, and who has time for that? (Not me - I want to move on to the next match!)

I do not care for the current lobby setup.

As in, being able to see ranks/levels pre match? No, I love that you fly in blind. Prevents people from seeing a high level or a few people above their rank and running away. Vast majority of Arena matches I have played were competitive. I’ve crushed Onyx players and lost to Golds.

I do wish that you could highlight an emblem and see people’s armor pre match, because some people have sick armor.

As for friends, not being able to see how many players are in a Fireteam or what the status of their matches are is sorely missed. Spectate mode is cool but it seemed to freeze A LOT the couple times I screwed with it.

Yes I wish it was changed.
I don’t really care either way if ranks were shown but we should be able to look at each others Spartans and armor. What’s the point of all these Reqs if we can’t even really show it off?

I really miss the ability to mute.

I just wish at the very least I could see their gamertags and who is talking…

I don’t really care about seeing ranks or whatever, but I do wish I could see who was yelling/singing/playing music and mute them.

No.

I liked easily viewing other people’s armor choices, stances, etc…

yep, it’s garbage and one of the worst parts of the game

Couldn’t agree more.

Definitely, yes. What’s the point in stances if nobody else can see it but me? At least that’s how I think of it.

I really hope 343 does a big update to the menu and the pre-lobby. It’s really the only disappointing part of the game for me along with no social playlist…

The only thing I’d like to see added is the option to mute someone. My only gripe for an otherwise outstanding game.

I like the current setup, it is like a quiet before a storm and you do not know what to expect. Wait times for games are practically nill so you people really don’t have a lot of time to see peoples profiles anyways. If you really must look at them, look at them post game like I do. It is always more satisfying to see that I wrecked two champions at swat or whatever after the fact. I do agree with some though that being able to see who is talking and be able to mute individuals would be nice.

This UI is literally the worst of any Halo game. It needs to be chsnged, preferably something similar to Reach’s lobby system…it was perfect.

No I prefer to play the game than wait for the game to start

Yes, I understand them not showing ranks but at least allow us to view other peoples armor while we wait for the match to load.
