When I play splitscreen with my brother, I can't see the callouts under the radar.
this might be my TV but if it isn't, I have posted it here.

indeed

EDIT: there's another issue that I would like to bring up, when you play three or four player split-screen those playing on one of the smaller screens are having a hard time aiming because of the killfeed, it is even harder when it says "[insert gamertag] killed [insert gamertag] with a headshot, especially if they have long gamertags.

I would link a screenshot if I could..


EDIT 2: plus, you need to fix the veto system, when you come into a lobby, you choose the first alternative automatically, which means that if more than four players are doing something else when they are suppose to veto, for example, browsing files/editing spartan etc.. the first alternative will be chosen.

A good solution would be having a more noticeable notification when the veto round is starting.

All caps title = Lock
Wait, what?!

Reticule for UNSC weapons needs to be abit thicker as well as changing the brightness, and for some reason Juggernaught's overhead symbols change.

The reticles are especially hard to see when playing split screen.

From what I noticed, watching Todays rendered videos on Armor Lock, it has been extremely buggy (Such as: AL will not exit, AL goes in and out of use, and AL allows you to move).
I love the AL, and believe it should be kept, as well as all the AAs.
Probably decrease a little bit of the pistol strength as it is found to be too powerful.

All caps = lock.

And I agree with the 1st one 100%. But I know you'll change it before the final game.

When the game is over and you are looking at the game stats it keeps you in the party of that game. I would like to see it become where you don't stay with that party unless you were part of the party before the game. It's annoying if you are looking at the game stats and you back out just to see you are in the next game lobby with people you didn't intend on playing with it.

I think that if you weren't already part of the party you should have to choose to be part of the party before you are joined to the party.

Also, I don't know if this is the place for it but I'm not a fan of the reticule bloom at all. I would rather see weapon kick back.

Thanks

What indicators? Lol.

I personally think the objective indicator for capture the flag should be on screen all the time. It took me two games to find out where to take the flag on Swordbase. Doing so would also let you keep your bearings better.

Also for stockpile, I would recommend making the hud indicator for the enemy teams capture point also match their team color. When I first started playing, I would run some of our flags to the blue (enemy) base because it was marked as red on my screen.

The automatic choosing of the first game option in the voting list needs some work, especially in Arena.

I have had times where I played Slayer on Powerhouse about 4 times straight because of players not voting.

Maybe add a noise indicating voting has started, or only count votes people manually input, or both.

I feel that the fonts in all parts of the game, menus, armory, etc, as well as in game text (such as who killed who) are too hard to read. They should be slightly increased and spaced a little more, I think.

I don't know what you guys over there call it officially, but the scrolling list of the stuff that's going on in the game that appears directly above the radar often does not display what is happening to YOU if a lot of things are going on at once. For example, if a lot of battles are happening at the same time, you might not receive a notice that you killed somebody or the notice that somebody killed you.

This is replicable in situations where you get a close call; I don't believe I've ever seen a "You killed [gamertag]" when getting a Close Call medal.

I would like to see the scrolling list prioritized so that my own actions always appear on the list, no matter what else is going on in the game.
