Some people like hexagons, some people like red things...
RED HEXAGONS!
I've always thought of them as nice damage-indicating eye-candy and useful at the same time. And, now that I think about it, red arrows are just as annoying as the hexagons in your view, so I don't see too much of a difference.
Or maybe something that says: Ohs Noes!
E: My HUD maker actually did this, no joke.
So... I always wondered that if that was supposed to be your shield flaring up on your helmet when got hit. So why in the world wouldn't it be yellow or look like the electricity/energy shield surrounding the chief?
Just saying.
Why would an indicator look like shield flare/electricity?

8 year old game, and it would be incredibly distracting if that was how they showed that you were getting hit :|
*sigh* I think I'm misunderstood.
When your shields pop, you see the particle effect. Plus, Halo 2 and 3 added the shield to the FP arms.
They did it the way they did because the electric/plasma effect on the shield impact would make it hard to see. Realistic isn't always the best way to go.
Side note: I always imagined the hexagonal pattern in H3 to be a visual representation of the gel layer.
Its more a vision thing because when you spawn it grids off your view.
I just thought maybe it was the video in your visor going wack.
Or refreshing itself.
I always thought it as some sort of graphical diagnostics on the HUD and as a damage indicator now that we've seen it.
