Halo 5’s ui is… not good. The way it looks is mostly bad. the way the playlist screen looks, everything. Halo 5’s concept art of the ui back then were way better! It had a dark, gritty, futuristic vibe to it. and everything glowed. it had way more detail and it simply look amazing. if 343 changed the current ui to the concept art one. i would pee my pants in glory. I would boot up halo 5 just to look at it. Changing the ui to this style doesn’t just change the way it looks, it might in fact bring more people to the game because of the atmosphere of the ui. in addition to the ui change, i think the hud should glow more like in the early development stages. but that’s just my opinion.Changing this ui to the one featured in the concept art would again, add more atmosphere to the game itself! And what i hate more in life is that i never get to see what things could’ve been.
It’s too late to change anything, but I agree that the UI is pretty sad in this game.

How is it too late? There are many games that’s UI have changed with a patch or DLC, like Battlefield 4. Although, even if they had the power to change the UI, I dont see 343 doing anything about it no matter how much we complain. Them not going with the other UI is pretty crazy too

You answered your own question. That’s why it’s too late.
They’ve already said they won’t do anything that’d update the UI in any major way.
There’s a difference between changing how it looks and changing how it functions.
Does the other one look better? Of course. No complaints here. But the implementation is just as bad, if not worse sometimes.
The playlist selection is just God-awful. Why is the list horizontal? That means any more than 6 playlists and some would be off the screen, and wouldn’t be noticed as often, meaning lower population. Same with the Spartan Hub, there’s no reason why that list isn’t vertical if the majority of the screen is blurred out and isn’t even being used.
The helmet selection is better than what we have because you can sort by new and Frequent, but that’s all you can sort by. We should have nested lists to make it easier to go through the many copies of the same helmets and armors with minor changes.
The main menu is harder to get around. The best thing about our current design is that we can go to any specific section of multiplayer with just a button. Ranked Arena is separate from Social Arena and separate from Warzone and is separate from Custom Games and is separate from Forge. Right here, Forge is on the main menu while everything else seems to be shoved into Infinity Games… including Custom Games.
