I think it would be an interesting idea to implement a new form of customization in the form of HUD customization. In the Halo 5 campaign, each character had a different shield bar/visor, some having different colors for the entire HUD as well, such as Buck and Linda having a yellow color compared to the traditional blue. In Halo 3, elites also had a different shield bar shape as well. I think it would be an interesting idea to let us customize our HUD for once, maybe with about 5-10 different shield bar shapes, and some different colors. It’d be a cool way to give players more individuality in a sense. Maybe have everyone start off with the base HUD, and then unlock more just by playing through the game.
How would you feel if this was implemented?

This kind of customization could be interesting some day, but personally I didn’t like how present the HUD was in Halo 5, and I don’t want to see 343 prioritize this kind of thing with so many other pieces that need finishing. Would really like to see custom armor in the campaign before I see custom HUDs.

Definitely agree with that, if they end up doing something like this, later down the line would most likely be the best idea.
Pretty cool idea. I’d love to see it implemented.
Maybe the community can add a mod that changes the hud. I don’t think its a good or fair idea for people to change their hud. The ability to move something distracting when other’s do not can be really unfair. And yes everyoen can do the same… but then whats the point of the default hud design? It just would make other things irrelevant.
HUD customization has been brought up before, especially when we were first introduced to the HUD differences in Osiris. I think they can begin with subtle edits, such as color and see how it’s received. Some games have customizable HUDs with positive reception.
I hope we eventually could get HUD customization. I’d have mine looking like Halo 2’s HUD.
I would absolutely love that. Unlike the normal armor customization, this can actually have an impact on the player and they can have the things they want in the places they want them. Like I’d love to put the weapon/ammo in the top right again, maybe change the hue of the HUD, etc.
Off topic, kinda. On Fallout 4 I have mods installed that basically turned the game into Halo… I have a problem I know. But one of the mods is called “HUDframework”, which allows you to change every aspect of the HUD and move it around the screen, and even change the sizes of certain elements. If Halo could implement something like that, and maybe an overlay system for people who like the Halo 4/5 look that would be amazing.
Cool concept but we have to start subtle. I am also a tad concerned with how that may affect fairness of the game if the changes are too dramatic, the HUD is a core tool for the player thats function is visual in nature so cosmetic changes could risk changing the function by making things more/less distracting or easy to highlight or what not.
It would be interesting if the different helmets and visors change the HUD . That way some helmets based on rarity would have different effects on how you see through the different helmets. It could give them varying effects (motion sensor buffs, rear view camera in a corner, night vision, etc.) Super ambitious but could be an interesting add on. Not sure how it would be on multi-player but I know that some of us on swat wear certain helmets because they are harder to hit.
