Fireteam UI During Matchmaking is Confusing

I have some feedback about the UI when grouping up with a Fireteam and starting matchmaking

  1. All players are able to navigate the menu completely.

This is a problem because players lose the context of what their fireteam is doing, whether matchmaking has begun searching, which playlist is active, etc. Instead, all players should have a shared experience. Navigating away from matchmaking should open a modal window or use only a portion of the screen.

  1. Can’t see names & ranks of fireteam

This is a problem because it’s difficult to tell WHO is in the lobby/fireteam currently. All we can see are the icons. This seems like it’s just a minimum-viable design, but I’m afraid it’s the official plan to keep it this way. Please make this more like Halo 3/Reach.
