I would actually prefer if there was no HUD/limited. Just like the new splinter cell. It adds to the realism (yet not too real) and gives you a good feel when your shield suddenly goes off. If there's no health bar, why do you even need a shield indicator? it recharges anyways. motion tracker and ammo counters could stay I think, but look more interesting.

It'd be cool if you could see the interior of your visor like Star Wars Republic Commando, maybe with an orangish tint to really give you the feeling of being confined to your helmet. Otherwise, keep the setup the same as Halo 2.

I would love the confined to your helmet thing.

Well as the MC's HUD is a result of his helmet readouts in his view I think it makes sense for them to be displayed (one of the few games where the crosshairs make sense as they are more a linked sight to his weapon).

I'd say leave the color as it is but leave space for health beside the energy.

What I want is to have a 90 degree view in the HUD. Have it show the inside of his helmet but dont make it like in Halo 2. It just feels plain cramped and putting it inside a helmet would make it worse. So, if there is a 90 degree view, then do the whole inside-the-helmet thing.

Wait a minute... Elites don't have visors so... they shouldn't have HUDs!

Make it so that you actually looks like your wearing the MC's helmet.

yes, this was my original hope. i also would like if they added a translucent (faded) style to the HUD, which would be in effect with everything but maybe the crosshair.
