I don't know about anyone else but I'm not feeling the change all that much. Maybe it's just me but I liked it the way it was before. Asside from the title imagery (some of it based on Halo5 concept art), I don't like the plain white background and "blog" style format. The white background works wonders on this site but not there. I honestly can't stand how these companies keep changing their website's format to this new format. The exact same thing happened with ''cardomain''. Before, it was nice and simple, and allowed people to customize their profile/ride pages to their liking. Then all of a sudden they change it to this "blog" style non-sense and completely destroyed user's profiles that took years to develop and design (yes I was a victim of this). All because they believe the html format was outdated. Sure, Halo waypoint was already blog style but this new update seems to have made it worst. Navigation seems to be a little bit easier but I don't like the overall apperance and format. Don't kill me for what I said, this is just first impressions on the update.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:56, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

:In my 4+ years of waypoint, I haven't liked the updates much. I used to like this one but now less, forum at least. [[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 21:02, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

:Well, minimalistic design is the "in" design nowadays. Fits with their "Windows 8/10" agenda. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  11:26, 15 October 2014 (EDT)

::I don't really mind the update. I prefer white over dark and I like that they've now given users more ability to customise their profile.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 12:10, 15 October 2014 (EDT)


::I realized that and I've caught on to what they're doing. I just wish they'd make it a little bit better and more simple/user-friendly than what it is. Maybe I'm just one of those people who's not with the "in" crowd. I have windows 8.1 which is alright but that metro/tile interface crap is unnecessary imo and I hardly use it.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:07, 15 October 2014 (EDT)
