My only complaint about this game is the lobby design. This started with Halo 4 although not as dramatic. With Halo 5’s lobby I can’t tell who is who or who’s trying to talk to me! I like knowing what Spartan Rank everyone is at and where I amongst everyone else. I like seeing what accomplishments everyone has had in their service record. Who has a mic on who doesn’t. Who’s with me on this? I can’t be the only one.
You’re not wrong
i agree too. i miss pre-lobby!
It really sucks when someone is playing… unpleasant (to say the least) music over their mic/kinect sensor and you can’t mute them until the game starts.
All past Halo’s had great lobbies, except for 4, that one was weird. Halo 5 took it to another level though. You can’t even see who you’re in a game with anymore… I mean c’mon, really?
Just a bunch of emblems
Agreed.

This.
Other lobby problems:
Cant chat in fireteam so forces people into party chat.
In Halo 3 you could see who was solo or in a party by little bars next to their gamertags
I’m not that fussed not being able to see their rank before the game, in my opinion it lowers the chance people will quit
Medals in post chat
Cant see what friends are doing in game, you have to go to the dashboard first.
Cant check what the score is of people in a game while in the lobby, spectate has a minute delay
agree, it’s not the best one 
I miss the pre-lobby, mainly seeing other spartans before a match and even ranks. But I think they removed ranks to stop people quitting early, which is a nice fix but only means you have more teammates quit mid game.But seeing other spartans I think should still be here, instead of on the post-match screen.
Who the hell develops the UI for the lobbies at 343? They ain’t doing a great job at it. Go back to the Reach lobbies! Those were simpler fluid times, also they were really nice! I loved Reach’s lobbies with their concept art in the background!
I agree with you OP. I hope they change it around.
343 changed so many things that worked perfectly fine before hand. Seriously who is making these decisions at 343? Whoever you are? You are really bad at your job.

Yeah this is really annoying. And it seems as if this kind of behaviour is even more prevalent because of this.
This needs to be addressed by 343i. This lobby situation is the worst I’ve ever seen This needs to remedied quickly 
(dads not talking but you can hear mom and child coming through his mic at ear shattering levels and no way to see who it is and mute)…not that I like having to mute people but there’s a limit
Forget about that!
They added “melee knock back percentage” into custom games, but they removed RANDOM WEAPON AND UNLIMITED/BOTTEMLESS CLIP LOADOUT TRIATS!
