The controversial nature of the Marathon server's interface was highlighted during a server slam, with players expressing dissatisfaction with the colorful menus and lack of detail. Bungie's UI designer, Elliot Gray, stated that he would not change the amount of fonts used in the game. He added that while there is still work to be done to address issues such as inventory management, navigation, and density of info, he did not believe in removing the SAU!!" from the game's UI. The comments were made in response to a mock-up that cleaned up the menus with plain text and simply grids, making them more accessible.
