One thing I don't like is thumbnails for players and yet all this wasted space on the side where 'my fireteam' is. Such a poor UI decision. I mean Halo reach and even MCC got it right. Why not let me see the 4v4 on the right in the fireteam area instead of some thumbnails for ants I can't even click on.

If it's still done with no extra effort on a users part compared to anyone using another button scheme then it's an unfair advantage IMO and should be addressed.
Wtf?
You said you wanted a lobby that showed ranks.
I said I don't and explained my side.
You said "how can you disagree with seeing armor?"
I said I don't disagree with that, it's the ranks in the lobbies. I have a whole paragraph explaining that.
Now im backpedaling?
Really?

I don't care for rush mode either in BF or this. I know some love it but it's not for me.

Anyone wanna party up later for some Arena Slayer? I need some Diamond+ friends to get to Onyx and randoms keep either quitting or going 2-15.
That fills up when you have a 12 person fireteam

Anybody know if Forge is coming in this/next week's November BTB update? Also... the screenshots of the Headlong (one of my favorite Halo BTB maps) Forge remake....
Look bad... like REALLY bad. If this is the DLC map quality we get... let's hope not.

I dunno... I dig it. Halo meets Team Fortress.

I added you on Live, just two more gaffers. Or just one more so we can blame all the shenanigans on the random...even if he does better than us cause that's the unspoken rule of Halo.
I hardly get EU servers even during the day, just had 2 Slayer games and both were full of US players. I couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo in either game
My last few silver packs have all been AR's, I'm getting #reqt all round!

Level 53, no DMR.
I'm going to unlock all the AR's before I get 1 DMR at this rate.

Lol ok... it does kinda look like a Team Fortress, cell-shaded map hahaha...
i'll give ya that! But compared to this...
It's like they don't even care. Just kinda bums me out if this is what we're to expect from the DLC maps... esp. considering the launch map numbers and scope. :'(

Didn't get my DMR until the high 50s
Yeah, I'm liking the look of it. Really slick and clean, appreciate how different it looks from the arena maps, whilst looking completely different from the other forge BTB maps.
And these are forge maps coming out weeks after the release, I can't believe people really think that going forward, REQ packs are paying for forge stuff.
Have you recently discovered forge? Of course if you compare a forge map to a dev map the contrast will be stark. That has always been the case.

They don't need to be compared haha. Forge is... Forge.
These maps look great in their own unique designs, and bring back old classics in new ways.

I only have one DMR but I got it while in the teens. Random system is random I Guess. Kinda stinks that it's a higher level one that I can't use until 7 or 8 req level :/ lol
62 and DMR-less reporting in.

im not making any judgements on the maps till i play them.
Same. As long as they play well I don't care all that much and I'm sure they'll look better in motion, especially the Headlong remake.

Forge is an amazing map editor but honestly if 343 plan to release official forge maps they should make dedicated locations and textures for them too, they already do this for breakout and it works perfectly there.
The default forge texture is ok when it comes to making maps with friends or trying things out but to place them into a matchmaking list for thousands of people? they need to look better.

I'm 45 and still not a single DMR as well. Yesterday i got the Longshot BR and the Sentinel and they are so damn good (and lower REQ lv than DMR) that i don't want the DMR as badly anymore.

I'm glad you can find some attractiveness in that. I can't. I'm very familiar with forge and am well aware that a Forge map wont look like a regular developer map. My comment was intended to highlight that BTB maps are unfortunately just Forge built. Yes, we've known this for quite some time but it's still unfortunate when you see something that could have been amazing... like a H5 remake of Headlong... but see the Forge. *shudders*

Yeah but I mean when you're going in solo, it's basically just you on the side. I mean it doesn't show the people SR rank, their emblem, their names etc. Just seems counterintuitive. I get it for Warzone where there is 24, but 4v4 should've had it there.
Are you talking about opposing players? That's a good thing. The less info the better.
I think aesthetics and playability are both important. Don't really care to play on a shitty looking map.
Hopefully the DLC maps are not just more UNSC bases.

Agreed.
Quitting is already bad enough. We don't need to give people even more reason to quit if they see they are going up against folks that are higher level/rank than they are.

I had thought that stinkles said that the forge btb maps don't count towards the magic number of post launch dlc maps.

Thank god I got lucky. Got the DMR in my 20's and got 2 more before hitting 50.
Unless I missed it there has been no confirmation one way or the other.
Yeah adding a big evil grinning skull face to the Guardians was a weird decision. They looked much cooler as weird metal birds like the reveal.
Most people aren't lore fans, it's gonna' be fine
Chapters 12 and 13 down. Two more to go. Only two more chapters. Also, something I discovered regarding Wardens on the later levels:
you can just keep pegging them in the head from a distance and they will go down. (You could do this on the first one too, I suppose, but there's not much room with that first encounter.)
You edited all that shit in afterward that's what I'm saying lol. Your original post simply referred to reach so I was like wtf.
Previous system worked better, we had less quitters. So before we work on how it can be made better, how about simply returning it to the way it was.
And also I want persistent lobbies. I'm sure even you agree with me on that. The social aspects have been all but forgotten it's a pretty lonely ass game especially when playing solo.

This. I'm sure it will be a complete blast to play these Forge BTB maps and i know i'll enjoy them; however, i'll be bummed that they look like they do and could have looked like some of the beautiful stuff 343i has done to the stock MP maps. I'll much rather have paid for DLC maps if that meant more "developer maps" vs forge maps.

Hey what's the link to submit a clip for the montage?
Im talking about this. And why it's only like this for custom games or when you have a fireteam in a sense. I haven't seen the UI like this when you are solo queuing in Arena or Warzone. All you have are small thumbnails in the middle that don't tell you anything at all.
Reach as an example too.

They will make maps, just not that many. But paying for dlc kills the playerbase. Fee with fore is better imo

Bothers me too that you can't see who you're playing against/with in the lobbies.
The UI for Halo 5 was a step backward from Halo 4 and that UI was pretty bad IMO.
Yeah, but I don't think 343 has the balls to release DLC maps that are forge lol. They are making new ones, but the whole design philosophy of Halo 5 maps needs to be overhauled, in my opinion. Halo 4 had some great maps.

Bungie has always been so good with their UI. Reach was beautiful.
Accidentally posted Reach first. But even this. I mean look at the way customs games can look. But Warzone or Arena cannot. Instead you get some useless pictures of thumbnails until the match is over and then you have to go 4 menus deep just to see their stats, emblems, service records, etc.

I agree. I love all the new emblems but you can't see them all that well and they are not attached to a gt in any real sense. I like the look of the custom match. I wish we had that in mm.

IF that is the case and Forge maps are just additional in-between maps i'm all good with it!
I really hope that's the case because if Forge maps count as the DLC maps than I have big issues with that.
Didn't Stinkles say as much earlier in the thread or another thread?
Reach as an example too.
Reach had such a great interface.

Yeah why is that... i mean the current matching UI is one of the worst i can remember using online. Shows little to no information about your team, party, or opponents and is visually minimal (and not in a good way).
I'd vote for this
or this (glorious)
to replace this (gross)
