Pretty good... except I would hope the AA's won't be in Halo 4. They are fine in reach but I want them to go back to the Halo 3 style.

No Armor Abilities in Halo 4...

Honestly, that anti-gravity booster pack thing the Chief had in the Halo 4 trailer pissed me off.

Anyways, Bungie isn't doing Halo anymore, go here

Maybe.

  • 07.03.2011 10:06 PM PDT

Even if it was just sprint?

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

You mean the zero-g thruster that's been there since Halo 2? It's integrated into the MJOLNIR Mk. VI suits.

I'd love to not have AA's in Halo 4 though.

Sprint is null, Spartans II's can sprint at 30 MPH on average.

It isn't an AA, chief has always had them. They are zero-gravity thrusters, meaning they only work in space.

I spent a few hours doing some HUD layout stuff for H4 too. Not sure if I like your orange take, nor the dark edges.

Here's mine (you can see the full screen version here). Here it is without the BG (and full-sized) It's not the best, and could use a lot of work, I just haven't gotten around to spending time on it. Also please note that those things in the top-right are weapon add-ons and not grenades. Just didn't add in grenade icons, and the reason the pistol has a rocket-launcher-esque crosshair is because just before this scene, the Chief just shot a grenade with the pistol. I didn't do anything groundbreaking from what we're used to, and the reason there's the healthbar again is because I thought it'd be cool to bring Forerunner health stations into the mix for this game (since why would there be any health packs anywhere?).

I think 343i are likely going to stay somewhat close to Halo 3's HUD, but if they do change it, I imagine they'll wave it off by saying that Cortana spent some time "upgrading it".

The orange has too much of a COD feel for me, personally.

Well depends. I'd probably play it, but hate the HUD and would make me question the quality of the game. I've preferred the simplicity to Halo's radar so trying to copy CoD or Battlefield sounds like a bad move. The grenade indicator is too squished into the corner and adds too much weight to the bottom left corner of the screen. The shield indicator is really small and I have no idea what that box is to the left of it. The gun symbols are too squished to the top and the DMR symbol is nearly cut off at the top. The typography is interesting, but the numbers aren't correctly aligned. And worst of all, the fuzzy black edge adds to tunnel vision. I realize it's a fan mock up though.

TL;DR- Indicators of a poor HUD would make me wary of playing such a game. /takingtopictooseriously

Very impressive concept.

I would, but I'd prefer the HUD to be a blue colour.

I the video, he was in space. I'd say that pretty much covers an environment lacking gravity.

In all seriousness though, that looks cool.
