Devs, this has been something has driven me absolutely insane about PC MCC— the UI is designed for controller input, but absolutely mental for keyboard input. Not only does the mouse move menus via mousing over them, but you can also scroll, which is then overwritten by mousing over, and it makes the entire UI jump around when you don’t necessarily want it to. Using the on-screen buttons by clicking them with your mouse is aggravating because you’ll accidentally mouse over a list and move it around, and using the scroll wheel, unless I dramatically increase my lines-per-scroll, is WAY too slow. I’d bypass mouse navigation altogether, but wait… WASD doesn’t navigate the menus EITHER. I have to move my hand to the polar opposite side of the keyboard to use the arrow keypad. Okay, well, I’ll just dual-bind the arrow keys to their respective WASD key so I can jerry-rig menu navigation that way without having to take my hand away from its standard resting place to navigate with the keyboard smoothly and ergonomically. BUT WAIT! D is an unchangeable hotkey to open the settings menu?? WE HAVE ESC FOR THAT. PLEASE… for the love of god, get someone on the UI team who plays PC MCC on a mouse & keyboard and have them fix the UI navigation. I beg of you…
I hate to tell you, but of all the things 343 really struggles with (and thats a longer list than I’d like) creating a good UI is seemingly impossible for them. Look at tall of the iterations we’ve had in their Halo games, its bizarre.
I mean, for a console (or using controller on PC), the UI is okay. It’s not horrible. They just need someone who plays on a KB+M to take a poke at it and fix the things making it aggravating for KB+M users.
jeah agree K+M players kinda get overlooked because controller is the preffered input method of the community . Halo CE for pc and Halo 2 Vista had better suited UI for K+M users
