This should be fixed in Halo 4

system · February 21, 2012, 11:32am

One of the things that annoys me so badly in Halo Reach is the line in the HUD which tells you : Player123456789 killed Player 987654321 with a headshot.

This line annoys me because :

I don’t care how somebody killed somebody, it should just say Player123456789 killed Player987654321.
This line goes through my visor (!) which really annoys the heck out of me.
This occurs ALOT on splitscreen, so I’d say not to show this line in splitscreen or just completely remove the “with a headshot.” part.
This is also a common thing on small televisions.

I don’t know if anybody here on the Halo Waypoint forums has this problem while playing Halo Reach but I think this is very annoying.

I really hope 343 industries fixes this small and easily fixable problem in Halo 4.

Sidenote : It also annoys me(but it really doesn’t matter to me as much as the irritating line through my visor) that when you get an Overkill Extermination, it says Double Kill! Triple Kill! Extermination! Overkill! instead of Double Kill! Triple Kill! Overkill! Extermination!

LOL! WOW! this has really ‘YOINK’ you off right?
This for me, has never been an issue.

I actually find it informative.

I agree, the text has interfered with my cross-hair when split screening, and it is VERY annoying, especially in sniper game-types. I suggest an emblem for the weapon used, and altered if there was a head-shot involved, or an EMP charge.

The killfeed has never got in my way, and it is helpful, though I barely pay attention to it.

I think your over exaggerating the killfeed getting in the way.

Lehnaru · February 21, 2012, 4:22pm

I agree. It’s very disruptive.

Toa_Freak · February 21, 2012, 7:19pm

I’ve never noticed, but that’s me.

Perhaps make it and option to turn the kill feed off? I personally like it, and find it useful.

A_Haunted_Army · February 21, 2012, 7:21pm

huh?

the feed never goes through my reticule, not even in split-screen, this must be something do with a small tv or low low resolution in which case, get a better TV or monitor, as tecknwoledgy increases so does the requirements to use it.

Jaaake_AU · February 21, 2012, 7:25pm

No thanks.

ZippingFilly812 · February 21, 2012, 7:25pm

Yes, because a small line of text on the bottom left of the screen is soo distracting, and soo disruptive.

/sarcasm

As someone who plays split-screen quite often, such as myself it does get pretty annoying. There should at least be an option to turn it off.

weird_stealth · February 21, 2012, 7:44pm

Why does the Killfeed bug people…
I ignore the damn thing most of the time, but when I’m in a snipers match I watch it, because I can tell who is a good sniper, and who is just running around with a pistol not trying. Thus who to kill before they kill me, and who to watch out for on the other side of the map.

ION_Dyuks · February 21, 2012, 7:49pm

Out of all those things that can bug you, this bugs you so much?
But at least it isn’t a thread like “armer lukz sak!” or “taek teh BLAH-OOM out of mah HALOZ”
I don’t mind it except in SWAT. But even there, it isn’t really a problem.

SecretSchnitzel · February 21, 2012, 8:10pm

I support this 100%. I know its just a little bit of text, but its so bloody annoying! It honestly gets in the way during heated moments in game too.

Well… if the line would really be at the bottom at my screen, it would’ve been okay with me.

problem is, line aint at the bottom of my screen… it’s going THROUGH my visor while playing.

please don’t tell me that your visor is at the bottom of your screen, if so, you might want to buy yourself a new copy of reach.

Technophobic · February 29, 2012, 6:47am

Yeah… no.

I don’t see the problem.

internet_cable · February 29, 2012, 7:46am

if it used icons instead of words it would be easier to read and be shorter and less irritating. problem solved.

SUIClDER · February 29, 2012, 8:11am

I agree! I honestly dont get a give a -Yoink- if spartan36812356 killed crazypanda747465. That -Yoink- goes all the way across your screen and you can’t see -Yoink-!

The problem is that it goes through your visor.

I guess I’ll have to keep saying this…

I’ve played 4-players on the same screen many times, and we can’t even play SWAT, because EVERY single kill says that. It covers literally 3/4 of the screen.
