Re: Explaining HUD LUV

In Response To: Re: Explaining HUD LUV (nillapuddin) : A lot of those areas that you think are nothing but blurriness are outlining : range finders, additional very tiny info, etc I'm not talking about those, I'm taking about the areas "shaded" with red diagonal lines, where the blue haze I keep mentioning is. : I already know the counter argument : "sure there is tiny text there, but im not 2 inches away, I cant read it" : and your right : The Halo HUD is a mix of HUD and HMD : Some of the images are projected onto the visor, some of the information is : integrated into the visor : 343 didnt just sit there with a tablet and a giant projector in the cafeteria : so people could come up and scribble lines on the visor for no reason : All of this information, these lines and everything, means something to the : Chief, to the designers, and to a majority/minority of the fans a... majority/minority? Anyway, I don't mind the text or the lines nearly as much as the other stuff, since I talked about the other stuff more and put more emphasis I thought that might be clear, but maybe not. Since you brought it up though, a good chunk of that text-- which is readable in the bigger picture I linked-- doesn't mean anything to me. Unless it's in the manual or Cortana explains it, it probably won't mean anything to me. This raises the question of why it's there-- sure, it might help the Chief, but this HUD isn't really for him, it's for the players. : Im sorry that you dont like it man but Ive given you every possible : explanation and reasoning I can possibly think of as to why it is the way : it is, I think you and I both are just going to have to sit in our corners : and agree to disagree : Id love to convert you but clearly it isnt possible, hopefully it wont ruin : Halo for you : Not to be a jerk about it, but once your playing the game I highly doubt you : will ever even notice the lines I don't really mind the lines either. : I mean, RC Master just flat out told me the lines didnt appear in Halo 3, : even though they clearly do, think about how much Halo RC has played! I don't know if I'd say "clearly", they're much less defined and overshadowed presence-wise by the blue-shaded areas outside of them. : He didnt even realize it, and the thing is, neither will you, and neither : will I : Its a subconscious feeling of immersion, the only reason the lines on the HUD : are bothering you and the words on the screen are bothering the try-hards : is because your looking at still images : Once the game is in motion, this will absolutely all be for not. I looked at the video of it, and I still disliked it. : Absolutely no hard feelings, and hopefully this came out completely non : confrontational because the last thing I want to do is seem rude or upset : at you, I understand you are very affirmed in your opinion as am I with my : own. same here

You cannot fall off the floor.
