Halo 5’s UI is OK to me but still lacks the simplicity and efficiency of H3’s ,or even better, Halo Reach’s UI. With 343 promising plenty of post launch support for Halo 5 i think we should raise awareness for UI improvements. I doubt we’ll get to see a complete UI overhaul but i do like to see some additions to the current UI.
My suggestions are:
-Population counter including world map like in Halo 3
-Post game carnage stats
-Spartan display in lobby’s (give our stances some purpose)
-The Community section to be used for actual community stuff (Please 343 this has great potential, Halo needs is social aspect back)
-Easier access to commendations by having them appear as a list rather than scrolling from left to right.
-Multiple backgrounds in the main menu like in Halo Reach. Would be nice to see the Sanghelios or Genesis landscape for example
An improved UI will make the game much better without even altering the gameplay, we just need more awareness for it so 343 will notice.
I think h4 had a better ui thank h5 honestly and would like a better one but I think I’d rather have 343 focused on other things before they make a new ui

An app won’t do it. Having a huge section in the menu called ‘Community’ that would provide everything from forge community creations to best clips or new machinimas (if they still exist) in the game would be much better. The Halo Channel app isn’t even good to begin with.
Map list in Customs/Forge should be organized better. Needs to be like in previous games where map variants are a sub-option instead of listing all maps and variants in the same menu alphabetically (for example, the Breakout maps would be listed after selecting the Breakout Arena map instead of being strewn about the main list).
Armor needs to be sortable, rather than just showing up in order of when you acquired it. Alphabetically would be nice, that way you can see all the variants of that armor right next to it. Also, the ability to favorite items.
The color update added, but removed some colors. Needs to have a column for pure yellow/gold (instead of that slightly greenish yellow) and a teal/aqua/cyan column. The second green column (olive drab, sage, moss, etc.) needs to be less saturated, or have a darker option than the current darkest option. It doesn’t resemble the UNSC’s green coloration.
Ability to turn off your armor’s skin pattern and just have a flat primary (because 343’s designers can’t seem to make an armor skin pattern that actually compliments the aesthetics of the armor).
Turn the saturation on red and blue team’s armor colors down to normal levels. It drowns out detail and makes the armor look hideous. If you reall**y want people to be able to see each other better, there are other options, like only applying the ridiculous saturation levels when players are beyond a certain range.
Ability to hide all custom weapon skins, that way I don’t have to look at that garbage and everyone can still use what they like.
Ability to pre-set custom Warzone loadouts per REQ level, so when you reach a new REQ level, you don’t have to navigate a menu to get your loadout you use 95% of the time.
Ability to see REQ level progress when in spawning camera/REQ menu (currently you can only see your REQ energy, not your progress bar).

I agree with everything in this post.
Might I include one additional request.
While in the Pregame Lobbly you should be able to see who is playing, not just their emblems. I want to see who is on my team, who I’m playing against. Exchange trash talk (kidding) but that was some of the fun. Why we can’t see this now is beyond me.
Don’t forget that they need to add an item counter to the screen where you are selling your REQs. I want to be able to choose how many instances of that particular REQ I’d like to sell rather than repeating the sell process a million times.
