I definitely think that less can be more, but in terms of the ammo counter, we already know that not every gun is going to have an ammo counter ([i]Thunderlord[/i]). It's also going to be nice to have spare ammo shown. Ammo counters are pretty much a staple of FPSes, sans a hardcore mode. As for all the names and levels showing up over players heads, there have been options for how this is displayed in previous Bungie games, such as [i]always on[/i] or [i]show on hover[/i], so I hope they will keep these options moving forward. I'm personally a fan of a simple icon that hovers over their heads to show friendly locations. [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Kantox/en-us/View/Profile/index?mid=3934872]@Kantox[/url] mentioned being able to quickly select which Travelerjuice power is ready and highlight it somehow, but I believe that only two powers can be active at any one time, a minor one mapped to LB, and a stronger one mapped to LB+RB. Personally I think that they should map crouch to RS click, melee to B, and have a third power or grenades mapped to RB (seeing as RS click currently does nothing). The radar and weapon info position is something I can get used to, but I've always preferred them both either low or high, not split. Having a weapon covering the right side of the screen makes sense that everything is stacked left, but I'm hoping to be able to finally make my character left-handed for once because I am, and then I'd hope I'd be able to switch the HUD sides.

  • I prefer games with a customisible map. Change the size, opaqueness, detail, info. Its been a long time since ive seen a game with a really really customisable hud so ....do that

  • Or, while I don't know how Playstation would handle this, Forza uses SmartGlass to give you a giant, very customizable minimap on your tablet (or a smaller but very accessible one on your phone). SmartGlass could make the HUD very detailed and customizable without cluttering up your TV. Maybe you could even use it to change gear without hitting the start button.

  • Yeah playstation are doing it with both the vita and thier IOS/Droid apps, wether Bungie decide to do it or not is a different matter, would be a nice PS4 exclusive!! -> "still hating @ the Micro$ BS, 180 or not. They wont get a penny from me ever again, already swapped my 360 for a PS3 and i'd like to think everyone else felt the same"
