It would obviously be differently shaped. I think it would be cool. You could also toggle it off.
Thoughts?
Just a suggestion.

it would be cool... but not a good idea.
in H3, you can already see the shape of the helmet, except that different sensors compensate and creates the image, giving you the illusion of not wearing one.

don't believe me? look closer to your HUD. you do see the lines that define the shape of the helmet.

well, we would have older armor in reach...I think it adds to the epicness and makes you feel in the actual game.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I never liked that "inside the helmet" view used for the Old Republic. I would not want to see that in Halo.

I think the problem with the inside the helmet view is that is does, ever so slightly cramp your field of vision.
Other than that, I've always like the idea.

I think it would be cool. It would also be cool if they did this, that with different helmets had different HUD shapes because the visor is different on all the helmets.

Well arn't you a perceptive bunch?
Anyone here notice how for some reason the heads up display in halo 3 curves?
that is because it is inside the helmet and so you already got what you wanted before you even knew you wanted it.

This. It would give more of a reason to use different helmets not only for their looks, but HUD styles as well.

Spanish Revolution

Welll,I don't really like your idea but maybe,it could be an option.Bungie should catter more in the HUD effects:dust,scratches,snow...

  • 09.10.2009 7:54 AM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

What about with different helmet types. Recon has a thin slit, Mark V has a massive plate, Mark VI is what we have now, we don't have enough room for the Fly Helmet, and what about EOD?

What about at the beginning of some missions, you see your Spartan pick up his/her helmet, put it on and the thing powers up, that would feel like you're actually there.

Ah so you mean like for the Mark V you would have the Classic Halo HUD (minus the health bars if Halo Reach doesn't use them), but for Mark VI (this is multiplayer I'm talking about so canon doesn't matter) it shows the Halo 2 or 3 HUD?

Check out my file share for cool maps

yeah, this could work, it would be a much more realistic idea of HUD placement. It'd feel cooler too.

Eight Gauge Hippo!

i want you all to try something make two circles with your fingers
and put them over your eyes like glasses. how much of you field of view is obscured. not a great deal. (btw dont think thats me, its the only picture i can find)

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

Cool idea, but would not work so well. Imagine the EOD helmet.

Oh, and Republic Commando, awesome sauce game.

Maybe if you want the EOD helmet, then you have to suffer. and you know? the EOD helmet wouldnt have 2 separate screen parts, it would be one. kind off like how binoculars work.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Have none of you played Halo? the ammo read outs and aiming reticle are part of the HUD provided by the helmet.
