The game still has many problems with its netcode, lack of intuitive features, and many other things, but let’s discuss the User Interface.
First off, it is horrid.
The tiles that are used for every little thing just makes the whole thing clunky and a mess. I would vote on rather having it use a simple list, and then a picture on the right side of the screen showing what it is (if there NEEDS to be an image). Even the map listing for custom games is just idiotic, as it is a complete mess. Who thought it would be a good idea to NOT sort the maps and gametypes in alphabetical order, and instead to just throw them in there randomly just needs to rethink their job.
Having them sorted in a random order makes just getting a lobby together and choosing a map into a small bit of frustration and time wasted that all adds together the more that you host a game. I don’t see why they went with the tiles for this interface, as it just doesn’t work as an interface. Returning the UI to even what Bungie did which was just a list style (since why fix what wasn’t broken?) would be 1000x better than what 343i thought up.
Also, slightly confused on how 343i could have screwed up their jobs.
Looking at what has been said on the game’s development, 343i only worked on the matchmaking and the interface, and we both know how good those are.
Sabe did the updated Halo 2A Campaign, Certain Affinity did the Halo 2A Multiplayer, and then Blur did the Halo 2A Cutscenes, Ruffian handled the Halo 3 and Halo 4 ports, so…343 had two jobs, and this is what we get. Then again, United Fronts worked on the Interface with 343, but they still have had to sign off on everything.
I actually liked the interface setup…

So, you like having to move left and right to navigate the UI where everything is basically a giant tile instead of a list that would actually fit more on the screen?
or the maps that are sorted in order of randomness?

That’s what I said.
Here let me say it louder since it seems you didn’t hear me the first time. I LIKE THE USER INTERFACE IN THIS GAME.

and why do you like the maps ordered randomly?
Really, what goes through your mind when you are picking a map that says “I like how I have to look through every map to pick the one that I want since I apparently like not knowing where the map would be in this list”?

Why does it matter if the map I want is third in line or fifth? Pick it and play it.

So, you’re basically in the mindset of ignoring problems, and promoting someone’s terrible ideas of an interface?
Either you are trolling or just dumb, but whatever.

I like the interface and have no issue with it’s setup.
you pick asinine things to complain about so I guess you are trolling or just dumb but whatever.
good day.

“asinine things”, right, because the thing that is pretty central to the entire MCC is “asinine”.
You’re just a blind fanboy, nothing more; you don’t say anything on why you like the clunky UI over something cleaner.
