New HUD

What does everyone think of the new Heads Up Display?

Personally, I love it. I’m glad the outline of it has returned from Halo 3 but in a much more futuristic way. Something that would fit that time and helmet. Anyways, has anyone else noticed it has black cutoffs in the corners, bottom and top? It reminds me of Republic Commando. It actually feels like i’m wearing a helmet.

What do you think of the new HUD?

I’m a huge fan. It seems like a mixture of ODST and Halo 3 with a little extra spice kicked in.

I Like it. I cant really say how but it feels more immersive then it was in the past. it feels more like your in that helmet. i like when i game can really pull me in like that.

Edit: those cutoff corners are probably what does it lol :stuck_out_tongue:

I hadn’t notice those cut-offs until you pointed them out. I’ve gotta admit I loved Republic Commando… so I see nothing wrong with Halo 4 “pinching” things from it for lack of better wording hehe.

It’s quite a cool HUD.

I like it so far… That picture doesn’t show the grenade icon, which is something I am NOT fond of. It just doesn’t look like a Halo frag to me. I wish the ammo meter would go back to the Halo 123 style where the graphic was specific to each weapon.

Don’t worry about it, that’s not the final HUD. Video’s show the evolution of the grenade looks on the HUD and how the ammo meter on the top right changes.

I always write users’ names in italics. It makes it easy to distinguish them when some names are like common words. :wink:

Right…The red army is watching you. =P

Erm… okay. xD

I like it it kinda reminds me of metroid for some reason.

I for one love it. Looks similar from Metroid Prime and ANYTHING taken from that game is instant win.

If 343 can pull it off and make us feel like we’ve just stepped into a fighter plane when we put the helmet on, i can die in peace.

Let us get some visor effects for starters.

Your name and avatar contradict each other. If you’re a real communist/know about communism, you’ll know why. :wink:

OnTopic: I really like the new H.U.D.

Personally, I love the -Yoink- out of it. It’s like Halo and Metroid Prime had a very, very beautiful baby (I wonder why? >___>).

i hadnt seen this pic untill just now…jaw dropped…thank you

I really like it, loving the ODST visr touches. Only thing I dislike are the graphic gimmicks like little numbers and unnecessary shapes on that HUD, they will get old real fast and only serve to add unnecessary clutter to the screen.

yeah looks very slick, i like that the radar and ammo count etc is alot more centred rather than at the edge of the screen

love the look of the BR aswell

I think they SLIGHTLY get in the way, they’re too noticable. If the cutoff was halved, i would be happy.

Less noticeable killfeed is my favorite part.
