Whats his face was killed by so and so. multiplayer text

As all of you fine people know, a lot of different games have text on the screen that gives you a heads up when something happens like for example when someone kills someone. So you also know Bungies past game, Halo, had this in multiplayer, but they had it appear in the left side of your screen. Just like the above picture, which doesn't give it justice to how much text happens in an actual game when playing with with at least 3 people on one TV, but presentations are better with pictures and you should see what I'm saying. Now my point is there is nothing wrong with this text, if put in the right spot that is. When playing alone on a TV this text does not clutter the screen to bad, but when you play split-screen the screens become smaller and its a whole different story. The text tends to scroll across the screen and not only take some of the screen up, but it also perfectly scrolls right across your reticle as your firing upon a non-friendly, making it a little annoying. Now I know this isn't the biggest thing in the world and it doesn't ruin the game for me. I also know, we don't know if there will even be split-screen, I hope there is, But that being said this might not even be an issue in Destiny. Also it may not even be in the game completely, regardless if there is a split-screen or not. But in the event that there is at least split-screen in multiplayer, could this text either be, A) Reduced in size, so that it didn't come across the whole screen when playing with friends, if kept at the same place. B) Moved to a different part of the screen if your screen allowed it, depending on what is even on your screen. C) Moved and reduced if it is kept. D) Taken away, because its not something you really need to always look at or atleast only keep the important text that people want to know. Like for example, what base was taken and etc. E) Mentioned by [b]JetpackRaccoon[/b]: Being able to have the option to turn the in game text on or off, whether that would just be for multiplayer, co-op or both. Again, this isn't the biggest problem and will in no way ruin the game and would be fine if its in the game. Its just something that not only me and my friends have noticed, but also others too, that I have voiced this to. So I thought I'd give some feedback on this, way before the game came out. If Bungie even sees this and wants to test it out to see if this happens in the game or not.

  • While they will have competitive modes they really made a effort on trying to convey this message of a seamlessness to the game. In EVE online they have what's called LOSEC, which is basically every player is fair game if they enter it. I would imagine this would be a mechanic that Bungie might use for PVP. I don't really want to know by some annoying message blasting across the upper corner of my tv on who killed who like they do in RockStar's GTA and many other PVP games. I hope they go a different route. PVP and FPS are getting into a rut lately.
