So, i have been playing the Halo campaign recently, and I noticed that the HUD is different in every Halo game, and HUD is different for different games/characters. That being said, I would like to see what other people think about this idea.
Maybe instead of each helmet having its own HUD, perhaps we could customize our HUD. Such as where our motion sensor is, health and shield bars, etc.
Or a “vision of war” pack
10 different hud shapes and visor color customisation.
The thing is, we have, what, 80+ different helmets? Not counting the skins, that is. That would mean having to create and test 80+ different HUDs, which would take a looooooooooong time. It would be cool, but a waste of resources.
Though I would love to be able to customize the HUD with different colours and layouts.
Big problem: there would be many preffered HUDs, and there would be some rather “OP”, one might say, and it would be out of balance.

I do believe you are mostly trying to be like Voices of War, big thing is? Voices of War is only giving announcers, “Vision of War”? Giving different play styles, almost.

Again, there would be very preffered layouts, and many would be Changed up.
Now, somewhat a big thing in this. A spartan themself can, for example in Co-Op, each spartan has a different HUD. However, this HUD is not based of helmet, but VISR, which is what they use, and is their visor, like Gungnir has close to no visor, but it is like a camera, and is connected do a display in the helmet.
No, we should be able to customize our HUDs without having to worry about our helmets.

I would like that too, I’ve gotten board with the standard HUD colors and shapes and wouldn’t mind being able to customize it.
The positions of the health bars and whatnot should not change.
The appearance, color and so on however, would be really cool. And yes, I’d use Buck’s in a heartbeat.
Yea, i was also thinking that they should let the gamer choose colour and style for their HUD, including where everything is positioned.
In a perfect world, yes but unfortunately 343 (or any video game developer) wishes they had that much time and resources.
Considering the different characters in Halo 5s campaign have different HUDs, canonically all helmets should definitely have different ones. For the sake of not having to create loads of different ones and the for the sake of ease of use, I can understand why they haven’t

This should really be a thing in the next game. Seriously.
We can have different HUDs as long we can customize the HUD ourselves.
The thing is, HUD’s in every game change with each new installment, Halo is not an exception. They changed the HUDs for the different characters for the feeling that you are actually playing a different character, not just a carbon copy of the main character, whether it be Locke or Chief, like the previous games.
That’d be nifty, but insanely intensive. Not counting reskins, there are at least 80 different distinct helmets. How do you design at least 80 different HUDs that all still work fine? Not quickly, I bet.
To reiterate, though, that would be very nifty. A way to actually notice your own armor choices. Like how I chose the robot arm in Reach chiefly so that I could see my own robot arm while I played.

What happens when spartans get mud on the camera? Lol does it make them useless?
Nightfall should have a unique HUD
Mabye only for mythic helmets?
I would love to see a unique HUD for the Deadeye helmet.
I’d barely be able to see! With all jokes aside I would love this feature because it would give our Spartans a unique feeling & let us personalize them more.
