I like how the ammo is up top now, it makes more sense and makes Dual Wielding fluent and easy because your second gun appear on the left. I dunno about the shield on the left, I think I'd rather have it right in the middle on the bottom, looks kinda weird there on the side. Ah well

That's because they are testing different HUD designs to see how it feels. Those "people" are game testers. They are paid to test the games. So they don't complain.

And I think they will stick with just the shield in the top right corner.


I guess we wiil have to wait till nov 9!

Guys, I think the Beta is pretty much going to be the finished product (aside from a few small changes). I mean, why would Bungie let all these people come play it and then give out a review on it if it wasnt going to be the final product? It would seem stupid to go through the whole thing they did (having a whole bunch of people coming in and out of their studio playing the game all day) if it was just another build of the game, and not the final? It doesnt make any sense to me. I think the shield will be down in that corner come November 9th.

Not everyone there was just a tester. The majority of people were people from magazines (like OXM, Game Informer, EGM, ect.) getting info and playing time because they are all getting ready to put out a big review of Halo 2 (like in the August 24 issue of OXM).

No I think it is pretty much done, the HUD is something you have to finalize pretty early when it comes to FPS, cause it determines much of the gameplay.

The HUD in the E3 video was a placeholder that was pretty much just the Halo HUD, notice when they dual wielded you couldnt even see ammo for the second weapon.

I believe this was the HUD they have been working on for a while and plan to put into the game.

Sans the scoreboard on the side.....I'd rather have that out, heh.

Nope...thats the sheild on the lower left, The info of the weapon you have out is shown on the upper right, and shows what your reserve weapon is. When you dual weild, the info of the weapon in your left hand is shown is shown on the upper left corner, right under the grenade counter thingy.

I think your right except the grenade icons will be replaced by the left handed gun when dual wielding. It makes alot of sense because when you dual wield you can't use grenades. That way your right handed weapons is always on the right and your left handed weapon is always on your left.
