I agree with almost everything.
1. Although I would'nt want to see coloured ranks. The looks of ranks in reach were fine as the were.
2. I liked the lobbies of both Halo 4 and Reach. Quick, easy and easy acces to info.
3. I personally don't really think hiding the vote counter matters as much. Why have a voice if no-one can see it? I would even like to see your Gt or Spartan to be viewed at the map you voted for.
4/5. I miss my bragging rights in the carnage reports aswell. And the amount of skill based medals aswell. Halo 4 has a bit too much medals for feets that don't even require that much skill (like just getting a kill). Medals almost thrown at you bringing down their value. And I think First kill always showed up because it was rare in a way that you could only earn one each round.
