Warzone Player In-Game Tags: Not Good Enough

Games Halo 5: Guardians

With Warzone being a 12v12 gametype, I understand some of the considerations 343i had when deciding how to show your teammates’s tags during a game. One of the things that gripes me is how they become selective via proximity. I’ve had matches where I snipe my own guys by accident simply because there isn’t a tag on them.

Another thing that I think would help the system is to look at how Bungie handled Invasion: Fireteams. Invasion had a buddy system, and Warzone could take a few pointers:

Instead of globing together the team of 12, group together players that are in the same lobby as a fireteam and SHOW THEIR TAGS AT ALL TIMES. It’s a real pain to try and find a friend who needs help etc… Even if they group players into 3 fireteams of 4 (and then prioritize same-lobby players), it would make Warzone that less frustrating.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I agree it’s frustrating. Everyone needs tags

Did you play bf4 on release? They don’t want the players hud to be cluttered with tags, bosses and bases. It was right for them to put this on default but hopefully in the future the player himself can tweak the hud to his likings.

I want to see my squad at all times. That would be super nice. Also a compass on the radar maybe.

I think they’re hoping the color is enough to differentiate.
