Menu ideas and feedback?

So I'm making a Halo game for just me and my friends that I know really close so I'm not releasing it to be public.
I have completed some maps and models only been working on it for a couple days and got the menu complete and would like feedback on it.

I'm making on it on Unity just a multiplayer game to mess around with my friends.
So the wallpaper was from the internet but would I have any copyright issues if I am never going to release my game to the public?

-midnight :)

I quite dislike the fonts. They seem childish, IMO.

Gameplay is ok atm guns are working properly. Right now I have Halo 3 placeholders but will be creating new models soon I have some working that I created but looked horrible not done lol.

Also I agree about the fonts I am going to change I was wondering how you guys feel about the layout itself

Why do you have a server browser and a ranked match option if you are just releasing it for you and some friends? Just route everyone into a single lobby and be done with it, save yourself the network lobby server browser hassle.

Honestly the menu feels really lackluster. Seems more like a menu that would be in a slender game than a halo game.

Try messing around with the halo font instead of that cloudy Comic Sans type font. Also organize the menu to run on a 16:9 or 16:10 ratio instead of that weird....I don't even know what ratio that is.

Question is simple
Ranked Match is going to be a ladder tournament system for me and my friends :)
Server Browser will be for when i do release it to my friends I am releasing it to 32 people, so just in case they just want a 1v1 2v2 when I am not online they can still start the match.

Oh god yes I know just wondering on the layout ideas.
The resolution was fucked when making it so everything was like blury but of course I'm going to fix it and try out some new fonts

Is there a reason you won't be releasing to public?

Will you release this to us?
I would like to try it out ;D

No just don't have the resources at the moment to house so many people and cannot pay for a server (16 years old without a job and still going to school)

I was planning to release it out as a private beta to around 250 people later in early 2015 once I have multiplayer polished.

As of now even after just a couple days I have my guns working properly, a map completed, and working on a P2P server for my friends to try out during Christmas.

So I made a lot of progress as I have worked non stop .

I'm thinking if the beta goes well and people enjoy it I would make it public :)

Here is something to check out :)
I was just testing out a projectile script with the sniper and thought I guess you can see it xD

Of course since I am still making my own models and they are not yet in game that sniper is just a place holder to test out projectiles and animations :)

it'd be nice if you could take your screenshots in a size that we could actually see. If you're using servimg, it asks to auto-resize images for you which is a big nono unless its like 4096x2048 or some shit.

Looks very good!
You could work on making dedicated servers if you have the time and coding abillities

If you need some concept artists and some devs, you could always look here.
