Subject: The HUD is messed up.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Everything is slanted for some reason (ammo counters and stuff). It's dumb, because the ODST helmet is convex, but the slants make it appear as if the visor is concave. The need to be slanted opposite so that the display is consistent with the helmet.

get out of here stalker

Your face is messed up.

It's a slight graphic error. It's not like it ruins the gameplay.

It's just stupid. The game looks great besides this. I don't think it ruins everything, but it seems simple to fix. Also, Bungie has always paid attention to detail and gotten everything right, so I see no reason not to fix this.

Here is a good pic.. The slants of items on the HUD show that the helmet is concave, but it is really convex.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

It's slanted in the correct way of their helmet. Look at it above ^^, you can see clearly where everything would be and how it is slanted correctly. But anyway get over it your practically saying you hate the game because of it.

It's not slanted correctly. The helmet protrudes from the face, creating kind of an outward arc. The way everything is slanted makes it appear as if that arc is going the opposite way, being closer to your face at the middle than at the ends.

To me I think it's fine but I see how you can say that.

...Love, love is a blind man's game, you have to look around to know where you are...

it goes the right way look at an odst helmet from an outside view its divided, its slanted because its to the sides so it gives a slight slant

Maybe Bungie wanted to make it look more 'down to Earth' more realistic? Like you're actually under the helmet? I'm not sure, just predicting. :)

It is an optical illusion. Some brains perceive it as coming closer, while others see the opposite. Some, like myself, can see both.

Life's a -blam!-, always testing you. All you got to do is get up from your desk, kick it in the balls and walk out of the class. Then you come back later, and pass the test.

Could that be because you are inside the helmet looking out? -.-

The things on the HUD are simply slanted. The decision of the visor looking inwards or outwards is by your own head.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

I sorta do agree, but how do you know how the visor actually looks from inside the helm.
