Should Different Helmets Display Different HUDs?

First of all this would really just be for visual purposes but it would be neat. For instance, an ODST helmet would feature a HUD like the one in Halo 3: ODST, while a Mark VI Helmet would display a Halo 3 HUD. A Mark V helmet would show the Halo CE HUD, and so on and so forth. I think this would be a nice little addition, though not a groundbreaking feature it would show a nice attention to detail. What do you say?

I think this is a good idea however for the people that just choose armor for looks if they get stuck with a hud they don’t like there will be complaints

It would be a nice touch.

I reckon go a step further, and be able to choose from different huds separately.

I agree

And maybe even further, be able to choose between a text or icon killfeed. The killfeed in Reach can actually overlap with your crosshair if you’re playing on a small square tv, or even on my 80" plasma during 4 player splitscreen.

Iv wanted this for a long time. But alot of other people like me saw the one spartan with the left handed BR. Now thats cool. I cant wait to see how much you can edit the multiplayer spartan in this game.

I agree with the separate HUD

Sounds like a cool idea to me.

I think that you should be able to choose your own head, and it shouldn’t be dependent on the helmet.

I’m all for this as well. And that’s something because lately I’ve been complaining about everything.

Or maybe HUD could also be customizable like armor is. I would like that.

I concur :slight_smile:

that would be boss as fawk

I would rather have a customizable HUD, over a specific HUD for each helm. :confused:

This would be cool, but what would be done about visor color if there is going to be any customizations like that? And would helmet upgrades also change the actual visual gaming experience i.e. more armor add more defensive purposes just instead of show? Great ideas and suggestions to come, its all a matter of what 343 industries is going to do with it all.

I think rather than force HUD options like that on the players, 343 should just allow us to customize the HUD, especially the HUD colors. A cyan shield bar with a slightly lighter cyan outline will be invisible with a cyan sky background like with every Banshee fight. This makes it impossible to see if they are friendly or not. If I could just choose the colors for my HUD like I choose the colors for my spartan, then I will be very happy. Plus colorblind people have trouble with the 3 main colors; red, green, and blue so by allowing us to change our HUD colors you will be more accessible to the visually impaired.

I’d hate to be the one with the EOD or GUNGNIR helmet.

I love this idea, but yeah I agree that it should be an option independent of what helmet you choose.

Customisable HUDs would be the way to go. Changing the HUD for each helmet would cause problems. The only thing that should change by default is the visor outline.
