Couldn't find a topic for this, but just a couple suggestions......constructive of course.
Post Game Carnage Report:
I spend a lot of time looking at all the stats after each game. I like the layout of stats and the navigation. I do have some observations/suggestions though.
First off, I don't see the need to have a player's character on the screen when you select that player to look at their individual stats. This takes up room for other information. Plus you've seen their character in the game. If I really want to see their armor perms, I'll look at their service record. Please don't force me.
I noticed that there is no quantity listed of the medals that were achieved in the game. (It could go to the right on each medal name, but this area obscured by the character.) I would like to know how many "Close calls" or "Opportunist" medals I had in the last game.
Also I noticed that there is no description for the "Death from the Grave" medal. (I know what it is, but just for the newbies.)
Perhaps it would be possible to see each players most used or favorite "Load-out"? It would be interesting to see which "Load-out" the winner chose or used the most. If there were no choosing "Load-outs" (like Classic Slayer), then the favorite "Load-out" would be default. (This info can be placed to the right of the acquired medal section if the character was removed.)
Lastly, while looking at post game stats, I'm automatically voting for the first option on the next game. I know that there is a sound when all players are pooled to vote, but when I'm talking about the last game with others, sometimes I'll miss it. I would like to see an icon or something on screen showing me that voting is starting or about to start.
Voting:
This new voting system is AWESOME! So many options plus "None of the above". Perfect. Well, almost perfect...
This kind of goes with my last comment on post game stats, but on the other side of people not paying attention. When players are pooled to vote, everyone is automatically voting for the first option. I understand that something has to be chosen and that's where the people paying attention come into play. Everyone should start on "Neutral". The ones paying attention can cast their vote, and the players that are away lose their vote. (Or it counts toward "Neutral") Of course the one with the most votes still wins. "Neutral" votes would go towards the majority. If you make it so that votes aren't counted until a player presses "A", those "Sleepers" don't get to vote. I just think that's more fair to the people who pay attention.
Well that's it. I hope some (or all) of these suggestions are helpful. I would love to see these suggestions taken seriously by Bungie, but it's their game and they can do what they want.
These are just my opinions.
Thanks for reading.
P.S.(My only game play gripe)
If the jump isn't going to be that high, why make steps that are difficult to jump over? Like on Powerhouse, the long concrete step near the focus rifle spawn. I've died numerous times trying to score skulls but can't jump over that damn step to get there. It's the same thing going into that shower area (where the grenade launcher spawns) from the circular pool of water. People struggle to move over these things, it's not just me.
