Destiny UI & HUD - What Would You Like To See?

I really enjoyed Bungie's past user interface design in the Halo games that they developed, in my opinion, I think Bungie has had some of the best menus, game lobbies and HUD's out of the all the games that I have played. I hope Destiny is no exception, but it is hard to get that perfect mix of functionality and pleasing aesthetics. Look at Halo 4 for example, I find the lobbies and menus are pretty nice looking, but they don't offer easy maneuverability. Then with the in game HUD, I find it's way too crowded for my liking; I can't stand the way they have a bunch of arrows pointing to guns on the map and grenade warnings, etc. From what we've seen so far, I really like the HUD in Destiny. My only suggestion would be maybe some changes to the players or enemy name-tags. Right now it seems like each players numbered rank is what you will first notice when looking at your comrades. I'd like to use the name tags as a way to really differentiate team mates by including each players customization. I'd really like to see player emblems and own custom colours above their heads, much like Halo 2 multiplayer. Also the return of full Gamertags not being displayed until you look in the general direction of the player could be nice to have less letters cluttering your screen. Above I posted a few of different ideas for in game name-tags, feel free to photoshop some user interfaces yourself!

  • 1 gun icon and ammo (changes when you swap gun) the ability cooldowns icons aren't bad I would like the radar somewhere else but it's not game breaking hopefully health shows up somewhere...if enemy health is displayed why isn't ours? all the numbers and stuff when you see other guardians is kinda distracting as well as enemy health but...I see the point in placing enemy health, maybe if it could be done cleaner...perhaps..whatever enemy you attack their health pops up on your hud top mid or something...instead of seeing a buncha healthbars constantly. I think it would be more awesome to view player profiles if you want to see the level and gear or stats of another guardian. for example....some random guy joins in your team..and starts totally kill frenzing everthing that moves...and you're like holy sh*t...who the hell is this guy? so you look his player profile up and say to yourself DAYUM and thus begins a conversation of how the hell did you get all that sh*t and player social aspect gets strengthened in a community based game. The game turns into, let me show you how I began my conquest my friend, and let's turn over some fallen captain crypts together to find some rare @ss sh*t
