Subject: Halo: Reach HUD ideas?

Should there be a new HUD design or should they just make it similar to the one in Halo 3? Also you might not always play as SPARTANS that have motion trackers, ammo counter, !SHIELDS! OH NOOOOOO. This is because during the fall of Reach some still didn't have any power armor... that must suck.

I remember when everyone was freaking out about where they placed the Sheild bar in Halo 3 and then it turned out to be fine.

I say use the ODST HUD color...I like it.

As for nades, ammo, etc. Keep them in the same spots as Halo 3, but maybe more nades in MM?

I want to see the Halo CE HUD.

Personally, I think an actual "skilled" person in Halo 3 is someone who knows how to win with every weapon and combo in the game, not just a single weapon like the BR, Sniper, or even the AR. Of course, that excludes me, as I have yet to get a kill with dual plasma pistols. :D

I'd like a HUD that actually looks like it's on your visor. Think Republic Commando.

I hope they keep it simple and smooth.

what if when you got hit by a power drain, you lose your HUD.

Shield bar stays at the top, tracker and ammo counters stay, in the lower part near the tracker there would be a little grid with your teammates' service tags. When somebody's dead, it's red. If they're alive, it's blue. I always hate it when my team drops dead around me and I have no idea where they went.

When you say lose your HUD do you mean lights out, or like you lose your ammo counter, motion tracker... etc.

I was personally dissapointed with Halo 3:ODST. So I think they should keep it the same as Halo 3 but I guess I am not Bungie....

Personally, I HATED the shield bar down in the bottom of the screen. I like the big, easily seen top bar.

  • 10.21.2009 7:04 PM PDT

Halo CE was at the top right.

I beg to differ


That's from Halo Custom Edition and you know it.

We're not talking about some stupid custom map for Halo Custom Edition.

  • 10.21.2009 7:14 PM PDT

Yeah that is from Custom Edition. (you fail at differing)

Woops. That was my mistake. Sorry. Google "Halo CE" and bad things happen.

Eh, still, the point stands. It's better in the middle of the screen.

I always liked the idea of having both health and shield strength like in Halo CE. It seems that would fit more into cannon with Halo: Reach.

You've got to be kidding! I would much rather have bold colors display my low health rather than some subtle, repetetive series of beeps. I loved the Halo 1 HUD.

  • 10.21.2009 7:25 PM PDT

I love the Halo CE HUD too. FORUM HIGH FIVE!

Maybe a combination of the Halo 3 HUD, Crysis HUD effects, a Halo 3: ODST Compass and the shield bar should go back to where the halo 2 shield bar was (above motion sensor in case anyone hasn't played Halo 2 0.o )

Halo CE HUD. I hope they add Squad acknowledgement lights and TEAMBIO and other additional things.

Squad lights and TEAMBIO would be great, but I think a TAC net, if you're talking squad commands, would be better if it was markers on a minimap, kinda like the ODST's VISR map.
