Dear Bungie,

November 9th is my new Christmas. ;-)

Anyhoo, I think it'd be cool if the Elite had a different HUD in Multiplayer. Maybe not even anything too fancy, just a different "color" of the HUD or a different way of showing the health or something.

But if you play as an Elite - it'd be REALLY cool to display that as a reminder of who you are during multiplayer battles.

Oh, and please include the GRINDER idea for Multiplayer too. Thanks!

bah

A different HUD would be perfect. Also, make it so the time does not run out when you actually have the flag. Nothing this will make it so people play their hardest up to the last second. On Blood Gulch, when there is only 20 or so seconds left, I just give up and goof around until the match ends because there is no way the enemy can get into the base and bring back the flag in that little time. Having the ability of a match not nding until all flags are returned means people will have to stay on their toe until the very last second.

Yeah, Bungie might already have it planned, but I figured "whatdahell-why not". ;-)

Just change the color scheme and then a different icon system for health/ammo. That's it.

Apparently they only have one guy working the overlays for Halo 2 and he's busy working on the Menu screens. He'll probably get back onto it when he's done and they've finished up the rest of the Multi-play elements.

I believe there has already been some talk of a new HUD for MC on Frankie's updates. I'm hoping they will have a different one for Elites.

Whats going on November 9th?

ya one of the IGN guys wrote an article about playing halo 2 multiplayer and he kinda thought the same about the interface for when you're the elitle, nothing fancy just a different design so you know you're an elite instead of having to look around at your teamates to see if you are or not.

In case they don't add a different hud, you could just look down at your feet and they should look different than the MC's

I'm sure there'll be a different HUD, but you don't wanna give all the good stuff out too early, now do you?

Bungie gets a whole Slew of new followers, the faithful will be blessed, and hopefully, a lot of questions answered.

I'd tell you more, but then I'd be flaming.

As for the different HUD idea: it would work. I'd like a different HUD, but nothing TOO different. Sure, I'd like to know just by looking at it if I were a spartan or an elite, but I'm playing Halo 2, and that's more than enough for me.

First off, it's most likely that there wil be another HUD for the elite's. Secondly You could just look at your hands? Third if you see green arrow above an elite...your proabably a elite. It's nto to hard to figure out what you are. Heck just throw a grenade and you'll find out. Or pick up a plasma sword. I'm sure MC and Elite have different looking arms.
