Subject: How will Johnson have a HUD?

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but Johnson never uses a helmet... So, how will things like ammo, skulls, navigation and so on be displayed for him while using his character if there is no HUD present?

Thoughts?

Johnson doesn't need a helmet to use the VISR.

Death to rank junkies.

It's a game. Johnson is only a skin that you can use in firefight, so he'll have the same abilities as ODSTs.

I thought this was a joke thread o.O
There is a screenshot showing the hud while playing as johnson.

There is a canon explanation
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Neural_Lace
"The Neural Interface is a type of technology used by the UNSC. The standard neural interface has basic functions. It acts as a "friend or foe" indicator, so that radar signatures will pick up the owner's signature and identify it as friendly. This way, the wearer appears as a "yellow" blip on the motion tracker of another soldier's HUD and friendly fire is less likely. It also shows the targeting reticle of the gun chosen."

So now everyone can stop saying 'WTF JOHNSON HAZ NO HELMET?!?!?!111' and 'OMG ITS JUST A GAEM NOOB'.

Okay?

Exactly. This is why you can aim the assault rifle even though it has no sights on it.

It'll be the same HUD diaplayed for the ODST characters.*
I highly doubt a entirely new HUD will be designed and implemented solely for a single character.

*Suspension of disbelief may be required.

Johnson survived a Halo Ring blowing up. I dont think he needs a helmet to use HUD.

OMG :DDDDDDDDD!!!

I can imagine Caboose saying "His cap......It's special" But I dont know who would answer "Actually you're wrong, it's the cigar."

And Johnson has HUD because........He is and your not.

My money was on the mustache. It gives him special HUD powers.




EDIT: It's also good for the laaaadies.

its more than just a model for the head.
actually it is almost a full perm.
hands, legs, chest and the head are all unique.

maybe even the shoulders.

I think we'll find out the answer in this coming update. Bungie will have some kind of explanation.

Also: Did anyone else find it annoying that Bungie 'announced' Johnson today with a new Halo 3 splash page, and a spot in the update box on the site? I do, especially considering we discovered NO new information. Though the new screenshots were very nice.
