Re: Location of shield meter on HUD

In Response To: Re: Location of shield meter on HUD (Evil Otto) : Okay, folks, a word on the shield meter... : So, as you all noticed, I moved it back to the top of your screen. There were : several issues I had to solve with sticking it over the motion tracker. : 1. It is below the center. Most action takes place in the top half of your : screen. : 2. HD sets with 16:9 aspect ratio exacerbate the problem by pushing it over : to your far left periphery. : 3. Tying it to the tracker made it look droopy and short (as Stuntmutt so : eloquently pointed out ) : 4. The odd shape couldn't stand on it's own, visually, requiring the motion : tracker to remain on screen even when MT was off. : It works very well in the center. It's transparent enough that it doesn't get : in your way, but when the shields are down, it's impossible to miss. :) I prefer the location in Halo: CE over Halo 2, so I guess that the new placement can't be bad.
