Wouldn't it be cool if you had a different look to the elite HUD in multiplayer??? I'm not talking about changing all the logistics of how the HUD works, but just the manner in which it is presented. What do you think? How do you think it would look?

That would be very cool. Like the shield goes all the way across the top and is a very thin, glowing, pulsing strip that recharges the same as in MJOLNIR armor. Ammo/charge remaining would be a triangular bar across the bottom left of the screen. Health would be the same, but bottom right. These would all change color from black to white, with various shades of purple being the in-between stages. (black=good, white=bad) Elites never seemed to have a radar (as you can run up behind them at full speed without them noticing) so that would be the easiest (no radar).

im hoping for a different way to express the health and ammo. and maybe a cooler targeting system, like stats when aimed at ppl.

good idea for the aiming.

maybe it could be like this: the reticle stays still when not on target, or out of range.

it blinks slowly when focused on a part of the body, where a shot will only wound.

it blinks very fast when focused on a part of the body, where a shot has good potential to kill.

Maybe the Hud should change color depending on the color armor you have on?
Like if you had red armor, your HUD would be red (works as both spartans and elites)

what would be neat for the SPARTAN is that you would see the the edge of the visor and maybe some little lights or such on the inside of the helmet
