After seeing the leaked pics of Reach, the one thing that has disgusted me the most is the color pallete for the HUD. Personally i detested the yellow HUD in ODST. Not that the layout was bad, but just the choice in color was abysmal. But I just ignored it since it wasn't a traditional Halo game and I assumed bungie just wanted a different color to help further solidify the fact that we were playing as someone other than the chief.

Assuming we will be playing as Spartans this time around, or just not ODSTs, I expected a return to the former blue HUD we've all come to enjoy. It's part of Halo's color palette. Just the fact that the HUD is blue makes it recognizably Halo. It's much more subtle than the yellow, not to mention much easier on the eyes.

Yes that's another thing that would be a great addition. I think by default the HUD should be blue, but I see no reason why bungie can't add in an option to edit the hue of your HUD.

Puke Yellow? You mean "orange"?

Blue, if anything. But maybe we could have multiple colors? People could have red if they wanted, or purple, or blue, or green, or tan, or even olive, the poor color that nobody uses.

Poor olive crayon just wants to be loved. ;-;

I wish I was still legendary.

I don't mind the colour too much, but I REALLY hate the actual way the shield and health bar look.

The objects themselves are probably all placeholder images.

Every Halo game so far, other than ODST I believe, has had a radically altered HUD by the time it reaches the final stages of the game. I don't know if anyone remembers the HUD bungie used during the Halo 2 beta, but that thing was uuuuuuglay XD

  • 11.05.2009 9:15 PM PDT

id like to have the option for me to change the colors of it
but i still like the light blue color from h3 :D

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I'd prefer the standard blue or the option of a color choice. Orange might not be so bad, but I didn't like it in ODST because all the daytime levels had orange skies and brown ground, the HUD didn't stand out at all against it most of the time.

I'm for custom color scheme

  • 11.05.2009 9:56 PM PDT

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

Custom color FTW

  • 11.05.2009 9:58 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Picking a color would be best, since it is really really hard to see the pale blue against snow levels like snowbound and avalanche.

Also, the yellow color scheme is really hard to see on sand (like in Last Platoon against the rocks)

But if there isn't a selectable color, it should stay blue. Blue is easier to see on Halo maps than Yellow.

You can't spell GARBAGE without AR.

Better yet! No HUD! xD

But in all seriousness the ODST HUD was pretty much fail due to the day time sequences... But eh, not such a big deal...

Spelling doesn't count past 3 AM.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

I would like a way where I can customize it's color. I would choose purple, cuz it's awesome like that.

  • 11.05.2009 11:40 PM PDT

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Customizable or bust!

I'd Like to be able to choose BUT i REALLY want a CE feel to Reach.

Just like in Fallout 3 I would like a choice in HUD color.

HUD color makes a really really big difference.

Try playing with an AR , and aiming at the snow on Snowbound and Avalanche.

In ODST, load up Lost Platoon and look at the sand and rocks.

You will see what I mean.

I ♥ Bungie!

whatever you want it to be.
