Subject: New HUD idea

Im thinking since this is a brand new game still being made why not add more features or a more futureistic fashion to the HUD

POINT: seeing how in ODST you have a HUD that can help you see in the dark and outlines allys or covenant with a distinct color. Since Spartans are stronger than ODSTs shouldn't they have a better system in their armor?

HUD FEATURES

- A guidence system that can tell you where you are be shot at exsactly. *if looking in the right direction*

- A system that moniters your team mates health like in the books.

- A warning symbol when your out of sheilds or to notify you if you are about to lose them


Feel free to come up with any other ideas.

Personally, I think adding too much more would be useless and take away from the fun that makes the halo style what it is. With too much more on the hud, the game would become too easy (with it telling you exactly when you need to hide, or exactly where every bullet was going to strike) and thus lose the fun factor. I like the teammate idea however, but only if this game requires much teamwork to finish.

tl;dr, Keep the hud the same.

If we are playing as Spartans in Reach and it takes place before Halo CE why would our HUD be more advanced than the one from H3?


Yeah, new weapons may be possible, but new HUD? No, don't think it's possible. It would be kinda cool though, if it just wouldn't be too superior.

In my experiences with Halo i think the current system is already enough. it might be subtle, by why make it more complicated?

and i believe there is a sound that represents your shield loss.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

done. from now on, you will be able to tell where your opponant is aiming by looking at where his projectiles are going. if projectiles are coming at your screen, you are being shot in the face. if projectiles are coming in lower, you are being shot in the chest or feet.

done. from now on, all your allies will have an icon above them. if the icon is blinking, they are damaged.

done. from now on, there will be a beeping noise when your shields are low. in addition there will be a bar somewhere on your screen that depletes as you take damage.
