lobbies in halo

One of my many gripes about Halo 4 is the lobby system. I wish 343 would go back to the old system where you could see who is in your party without having to go to a custom game or pressing X. Anyone else want to see the old lobby system?

Halo 3 / Reach was fine.

Except if one or more teammate left in-game you were more than likely boned.

This has nothing to do with join in progress. he’s talking solely about the design. besides that, you should play with friends or get better, because I’ve won my 1v4s every once in a while.

Watch out!

I don’t like the new lobby. Everyone’s name is in capital letters and sideways. Nothing seems to fit on my screen right and I can’t tell what my friends are doing.

Yeah I prefer the old design too. Reach’s was fine.

Change for the sake of change.

Yup. Like a few other things in Halo 4 I feel this is a case of UX either overdone or underdone, depending on your stance. Flipping through tiny player cards where the words are 90 degrees of kilt is… whose idea of good UI? :-S

If you ask me Reach’s was the best. Big character models, visible badges, and easy to read party details. How I wish 343 hadn’t tried to change everything and instead just focused on a few key areas.
