Some of you mentioned making the hud blue. I am not sure how blue will look on the model hud but I am willing to give it a whirl. I think I will release the tags for both color versions with the hoplite...but we all know that it is a simple swap of color values.

Anyways here's some examples for the poll. I am curious to see everyone's opinion.

Blue, mainly because that's the color scheme for the Chief's HUD already.

Oh, and might I ask...Why is the HUD so HUGE?

I am trying to keep the feel of a jet fighter HUD. Also, as you will see in the upcoming final renders, the ingame screen HUD replicates the HUD over the center console in the hoplite model. Once you see that, it will make a lot more sense and add a lot more continuity between the 3p experience and the model.

:cool:

Just a bit...

The green is just too intrusive, and since the HUD is blue for everything else... why change? Perhaps blue has replaced green in the UNSC as far as displays go.

Blue for day, green for night.

Or how about a compromise - Blue-Green! :)

Seriously though, blue would be better because it is not so bright and contrasty and distracting.

As much as I hate to agree, admittingly, blue is less intrusive.

It looks like blue FTW.

i chose blue because if fit better with the rest of the hud. if you wanted to go in and change the color of the rest of the hud, i'd go with green. i agree, it does have more of a fighter feel, but to be honest, i'd really go with it if it was in FP with some kind of view of the helmet.

I say go for blue, and make the alpha more radial instead of verticle.

Blue for day, green for night.

Although you were joking when you said that, I think you have a valid point. I put the green hud into a map with Gephy's sky and it looks pretty cool imo. I think I will release both huds. Everyone can use either hud as they see fit for their map. Both will simply be available for the end user at their discretion. Also if no one wants the large display part they can just delete it from the reticle list in the tag.

SO for now:

Green available and suggested for night maps.

Blue available and suggested for day maps.

hmmm, I like the blue one, but it needs to be more inventive, not just a gradien IMO, but blue looks nice here I think because it flows nicer with the hud. If you could combine the 2 into 1 though, I might say yes, maybe a blue reticle with some green glowyish text with random numbers (like scroling x/y axis numbers indicating ur location maybe altitude type deal also, the numbers obviously wudnt be right, just for looks.)

Its much too bold and jagged. Keep it blue, make it more clean and straight, or atleast try, its much to bland right now. It needs to be more technical aswell, its too big and bulky now to be a HUD.

How would those possible look?

Any other color would be completely random and not make much sense even for a video game. The idea behind green is to replicate a traditional hud. The blue is obviously to meet the typical HALO standard.

Pink HUD for the win.

Actually, I'm saying Blue as well - but I think the HUD is just a tad big... :eyesroll:

It was quite the awesome sauce. We tested it on infinity and it was probably the most balanced, yet awesome shit i've ever played with.

From what little I recall, Mined gave everything he had on the Hoplite to a few of us (myself and Agaypokemon were two, can't remember who else but they're all community veterans) for safekeeping. I don't know the first thing about getting shit ingame, but I do have a fair idea of the kind of quality that Mined would want and I wouldn't mind if someone would translate my ideas on its performance and whatnot into the game.

Does anyone know where he's got to? He was a Good Poster :smith:

Shit, I was wondering what happend to this about 2 weeks ago.
Would like to get this ingame and I seem to recall Mined saying something about life getting in the way of his posting (partly why he didn't have time to finish it or something.. could have been someone else though, was 3 years ago (jesus christ we're old))
