343 seems to be legendary for making user interfaces that are almost useless. Halo 5 is no different. Why aren’t players gamer tags displayed in the pregame lobby?? All we see is their emblems. We should be able to see their gamer tags and rank, as well as scroll through the players and inspect them to see their service record. These are simple quality of life features that have been in every single halo game. Why is their serious attempt at appeasing the fans any different
I don’t mind not being able to see gamertags/ranks in pregame lobbies.
But for the love of god let me be able to see who is blaring Lil Wayne down their mic so I can mute them.

I agree. A simple Mute All option is all it would take.

I can understand MAYBE ranks. But seeing who you are playing against just seems like it’s so natural. Looking at emblems is meaningless to me
Yeah I feel it takes away the multiplayer feeling and that feeling you are playing with actual people with personalities its the same with the emblems why hasn’t a create your own emblem been added to halo? I think people have been wanting it for a long time one of the only things to carry over from bungie’s halo that I would rather have changed emblems in req packs are stupid and give no sense of value same with the commendations just let us have our own creativity in the game unless your focus is just the hardcore players who want br standards and mlg doritos halo instead of a community driven fun game like Halo 3 was meh it’ll do till black ops 3 comes out I guess maybe halo 6 will do better.
NO RANK NEEDS TO BE SEEN. It strongly encourages quitting prematch. Don’t believe me? Go play Gears of War remastered and be ranked below 10 and see how long it take s to get people to stay in the lobby to actually start a game. Its horrible NOBODY wants to play with a low ranked player. It takes forever in matchmaking on GOW:RM for that reason.

You’re not the only one who has brought this up, i’m sure they’ll probably be discussing it at some point, don’t expect it any time soon though.

They have a mute all option already.

I found the mute all yesterday! Pull up the scoreboard when you get into the game and you’ll see the mute all option (I think it’s X)
That doesn’t bother me, they all are getting muted anyway in warzone, if I’m not in a party.

But… You should be playing with people in your rank level anyways. That’s the freaking point. I doubt people will quit because “OMG MY TEAM IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT ARE AT MY RANK LEVEL”. Haha.

That still doesn’t excuse why we can’t see gamer tags. I won’t get into an argument about why ranks should be visible. This is about 343 always doing some bass ackwards
People have been complaining about this, it’s not just you haha I’m surprised you haven’t seen anything on the UI. I’m personally not terribly bothered but I do miss the Reach lobbies, with a quick overview of everyone
They have hidden GTs and ranks pre-game to avoid people quitting before the game starts. I would say it is silly but I have done it before.
They need to add more features
If you wait until the match is over you can see their ranks, gamer tags and k/d. Just click select and then click your match stats (K/D). That option is good enough for me.
I’m here to play the game. I could care less who I’m going against. Why would it matter? You don’t know how to play unless theirs a gamertag? Grow up and learn to kill the nameless.

AMEN!
Honestly I too like not seeing their rank etc. So many people quit a match before it even gets started because they don’t want to play against chalenging opponents. The rank scares some people away I think…
i am going on record and saying i have seen a LOT of topics about this.
the general consensus is
Yes we all want to be able to see names/active mics and be able to mute.

This guy…every thread you post in is “Grow up, quit whining, git gud”
This game does have a serious lack of lobby menus. Whats the point of stances if we never see them?
Reach had a great lobby menu, probably the best of the series. Being able to see everything about everyone while the match loaded added was just fun in general. It was interesting to see peoples Spartans.
