I love having a game that I can play with 3 to 4 friends online but find it insainly annoying when there are 3 or more people in a party because on the ¼ size screen the game text goes directly through the reticule making aiming very difficult whenever more than a few lines of text are generated.
Also I think restricting parties on a console in big team to 2 people is pointless since that has the most players in the first place.
Playing splitscreen with more than 2 people in Reach is terrible. Not only can you get what you mentioned but the quality of the game drops.
As for the BTB only allowing 2 people, it’s because of the Forge World maps. So the game doesn’t have framerate drops from rendering so much. This is the same with TS.
Sometimes this happens to me when I’m playing solo, without split-screening. I find it extremely annoying, and it is especially horribly distracting in gametypes such as snipers and swat.
Having on-screen text is nice, but they should either make the test a smaller size, move it more towards the lower left-hand side of the screen, or make it togglable in the options menu.
i never have this issue.
i wonder, does this issue depend on the size of a persons tv? i use a 32" HD and have never had this issue.

Yup, it solely depends on TV size. I play on a 32" HDTV as well, and I never have that problem. When I switch to a smaller TV, such as my portable 14", it is a huge problem.
