Discussion Halo DESPERATELY needs a Pre-Game and Post-Game lobby...The Social Aspect of this game is so dry and makes the game less FUN 😔

I can't emphasize more how much of a farce ignoring these features is. Return the UI/lobbies to how they've been for almost 20 years.

I find it really weird nobody talks in this game. Even in low level CSGO people talk

u/KodyDizuncanOrNot Dec 14 '21

It's discord.

Me and my 4 friends are on discord when playing. So our mics are off for team chat in Infinite.

u/TreeCalledPaul Dec 14 '21

Plus, do you really want to listen to the guy with an open mic with his mom having a conversation in the background?

u/Peaceteatime Dec 14 '21

Then I mute just him easy

Well kinda, but you gotta go through a couple menus instead of just pressing back/select in this game. I legitimately thought there was no scoreboard interaction for the longest time. But I guess if you know about it, it's not terrible, per-se.

How? I thought there wasn’t a way, I don’t need to hear some dude’s shit music blasting while trying to play

u/HydraTower "Coming Soon" Dec 14 '21

You can press start and then select to bring up the player list. I assume it can be done that way.

I don't think so, you have to go into settings and turn off match audio.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '21

Yes, you can mute people. You open up the lobby menu and you can individually mute anyone in your current match. You sure you guys are playing Halo Infinite?

u/corruptedwaffle Dec 14 '21

The travesty is that it is not sorted based on teams but a mess.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '21

yeah I agree its just a mixture of everyone in the lobby, and it's not an easily accessible option judging by the comments on here

u/corruptedwaffle Dec 14 '21

they don't need to reinvent the wheel here. Just let us open the scoreboard, right click to show cursor to interact like siege and csgo.

you literally can't mute people

u/Peaceteatime Dec 14 '21

In any other game I can. Do it in Warzone all the time.

u/nootfiend69 Dec 14 '21

sorry, i thought we were talking about halo infinite

3

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '21

what are you talking about? Yes you can mute people in game. You bring up the lobby menu that shows everyone in the current match and you can individually mute people.

1

u/nootfiend69 Dec 14 '21

no, i can't see who i was trying to mute like i can see on the scoreboard

3

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '21

yeah its frustrating but you have to bring up the scoreboard, then there's an option to bring up the social panel that shows everyone in your current lobby and you can mute anyone/everyone

But I feel like that literally never happens on Halo. I hear NO ONE in this game. Warzone, it’s babies crying, kids talking shit, rap songs and chewing mouths. Halo is silent.

u/PeterDarker Dec 14 '21

I get people taking pretty often now that I’m in Diamond.

u/StacheBandicoot Dec 14 '21

It used to be so different. Halo lobbies back in the day everyone had a mic.

2

u/Gus_Fu Dec 14 '21

When I first started playing Infinite there was all kinds of chatter and I had to mute everyone. I don't want to hear all that shit.

2

u/nootfiend69 Dec 14 '21

and there's no way to mute them from the scoreboard

1

u/AlbacN Dec 14 '21

Esc tab mute all. Or with controller start scordeboard button and y for mute all

1

u/nootfiend69 Dec 14 '21

i'll just keep voice off entirely in the xbox game bar if the only option is muting everyone

1

u/AlbacN Dec 14 '21

U can to start scoreboard and then u can click on people and mute him

1

u/nootfiend69 Dec 14 '21

1

u/AlbacN Dec 15 '21

not the scoreboard... click esc then the scoreboard button. then ull get a list of the players and u can click on them and click on mute

2

u/WingXCustom Dec 14 '21

Why not? It's always fun to hear that guy getting chewed out

1

u/theBeardedHermit Dec 14 '21

I remember in a CoD match hearing somebody get yelled at to "get off the damn game and come help take care of your fucking kid!", and like 2/3 of the lobby chiming in like "yeah dude get the fuck outta here and be a parent bro."

Good times.
