The Gun / Ammo Count in the bottom right annoyed me, it was always top right with bullet icons.
Its only a little thing but I would love 343 to change it back so all the Halo games look the same.
Just my two cents, did any other HUD changes annoy you?
I wasn’t a fan at first, but I think it balances the screen nicely with the motion sensor bottom left and ammo counters bottom right. Definitely wouldn’t be against returning to normal though
I’m more worried by the chunky shield regeneration.
Looks a tad obtrusive.
“Continuity” has long been dumped into the trash back in the old Bungie days, when they changed Chief’s HUD dramatically between 2 and 3 even though a simple ride onboard the Dreadnought was all that happened between the two.
As for your question, I think the new placement is okay, I don’t like it, I don’t hate it. But the recharging effects could use some down-tuning.
My biggest concern is with the crosshair though, for me it looks too small and fainted that I lost track of it several times when watching the demo. Reminds me of GTAV’s ridiculous tiny white dot “crosshair”. Hope they fix that.
i think the bottom right HUD is not only out of continuity, but it is disfunctional. It forces you to look at a corner of the screen which gives no gameplay space information, as it is taken up by the gun. the swaying of the gun also makes it hard to focus. The classic HUD style (weapons in the upper corners) is more friendly for players with impared vision. I hope this gets fixed.
Gun thing is a silly, and there was literally no need for the change, but those damn bright yellow hexagons…I get what they were going for, but that can’t stay. It’s way too obstructive. Maybe just have them smaller, and right at the edges, if the effect is really needed.
