Tallgeese Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 So in Halo Reach when you play split screen with 4 people, the call outs and "blank was killed by blank" announcements cover most of the box and make it hard to see anything else. I really hope 343i fixes this and makes the call outs etc. be toggled on and off, or become translucent. I understand that many people don play 4 player split anymore, but some still do. Bungie really messed that aspect up with Reach. Any thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Death Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 that is true,it would be much easier to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 And for anyone wondering, I have a 62" tv so the issue is not the size of the tv, it it s the programming in the game. I really just hope 343i fixes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 does it really matter? isn't split screen for fun and stuff? If you callout, its a bit serious..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I dont use the call outs...thats my point. There should be an option to toggle the call outs and "blank was killed by blank" on and off. it takes up too much room on the screen in Halo Reach.

RedStarRocket91 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 does it really matter? isn't split screen for fun and stuff? If you callout, its a bit serious..... The problem is more than the player on the bottom left of the screen has their aim really badly obstructed, because that's where the killfeed appears. They can easily lose a good quarter of their vision, and that can really hinder the ability to play to full ability, which sucks even if the game is just for fun and laughs rather than serious competition.

Tallgeese Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I agree with RedStaeRocket91, the kill feed takes up a good majority of the screen when split into 3 and 4 screens. 343i really needs to fix this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 So I noticed that the personal kill feed appears in the middle of the screen, for example. "You killed blank with a headshot" and that your personal kill does not appear on your kill feed in the lower left. It appears that only the other players kill/ death status appears in the kill feed. I really hope that it still is more transparent and not as big in split screen situations. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 another issue with reach split screen, is that if you play split screen you wont see other players from distance. Which also is very disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedatedSquirrel Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 i agree this was very frustrating especially playing swat. Text would always end up in my crosshairs. hopefully it is limited to a smaller area this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODSABOMINATION Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think the one issue Tht should be fixed on splitscreen is the start menu don't pause the whole game only the player who pauses it from there controller!( which ever guest or account press start there screen will be paused an the others can still play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 So long as they dont screw up the split screen, then i have no problem with them keeping it as a feature. (example, they should increase size of words whenever you go split screen, so you can see them properly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I agree. It is even annoying when playing just 2 player split screen. I have to play that all of the time because I share an xbox with my brother. I would like the option to only have 2 lines of killfeed show on the screen at one time.

King of Winter Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Those things block my crosshair even when I'm playing with myself! It's annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Oh yeah, when the words cover your crosshair in SWAT, it really sux Like if you agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The worst gametypes for this are swat and snipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 does it really matter? isn't split screen for fun and stuff? If you callout, its a bit serious..... That would infer that Doc and I NEVER play seriously o-o. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
