I'm 50/50 on it. The reason being if you get hit by plasma and your hud gets splattered with plasma it will be kinda hard to see. Which would make the plasma weapons the weapons of choice. Thus making the weapon balancing unequal.

How about little visor wipers? Like in SWRC

Okay, but do cracks cover your hud like a liquid like plasma would? The answer is no. Plasma would splat on your visor while cracks would just..... well be cracks which would not make it so u can't see. In fact you could probably still see very clearly if you had cracks on your visor.

they should only have rain, few drops in the middle but most of it around the edges

cracks only if you died when you are killed my a head shot, so you only can see it just before the camara floats above you

Looking at the sun should brighten everything

This topic has turned up freaking loads of times and its getting ennoying now.

But yes, its a good idea, i would love to see weather effects and blood on the visor and stuff like that. I would also like to see the edges of the helmet on screen too. Similar to Metroid prime where you could actually see Samus' helmet on the HUD. I thought it was very effective, and added an awesome feeling to the game.

There should also be an option to turn it off too...Maybe it should stay on in campaign, but for multiplayer, you can decide.
