yeah, we truly need to see a more immersive hud honestly, it just feels kinda plain. something cooked up in some time can do even, just gotta take inspiration

In my opinion,if they do make a new cp hud, it should look something like the gasmask overlay from Metro Exodus, but little more subtler.

Example:

View attachment 9394Just imagine this, but more combine styled and with a more advanced look, and without cracks

Your mask cracks depending on the hp you have.

Man, I think we shouldn't have a HUD at all. Maybe a small bar at the bottom that shows ammunition count and health but that's it. It's a gasmask, not a VR headset.

Holy necro...
But it is more than just a gas mask, that's the whole point. Unless it's been seriously revised and everything you can read about it is old never updated material

I personally like the idea of a cool sci-fi hud with flashing and animated stuff AND a gasmask and nothing more. I don't think a server has ever done the latter, where they force CPs to use external tools to do their job. They have like 2-3 devices with screens strapped to their belts, what are those for?

Then again I suppose it would depend on the setting. A city like City 8 would probably house a lot of the sci-fi and tech stuff but somewhere like city 11 or 18 perhaps could see just a regular mask meant to protect cops from gas, and nothing more.

prepare for visual download of anti-citizen one

to be fair, you could argue the CPs just look at a PDA or something else for a 'visual download'. Like how irl cops will use the laptop they can type on while going 80 MPH to find a person's mugshot instead of dispatch uploading it to their google glass

Concept by Flanders, following the original Nebulous/Person of Interest designs. Of course, the citizen identification would likely not be a thing, or perhaps only be restricted to dispatchers, but this was the basic idea.

This part was the main suggestion since everything else was a bit cluttered, but it was denied, so /shrug.

@Aspect™ think it'll be possible anytime soon to implement this or at least give it some consideration once again? I think it'll be nice for the faction to have something like this but with a few differences. One being that CPs will not be able to identify citizens like the way they do with each other. And maybe Dispatch can have this as well but is able to identify anyone they look at with the pop-up.

Known what this might actualy be cool to be done ICly, BRI developing the Mk2 CP Visor or something

A good idea, but has to be done in co-operation with the developers - unless it'll be purely IC as in: You are obliged to tell me your identity as my visor can scan you !!!!! (Which is... not ideal)

I have suggested an advanced HUD/UI system for Combine factions, specifically one that our predecessor, TeslaCloud, was planning to use, but @Atle gave strong objections to it, so we dropped the idea rather quickly. That's the main reason we don't have any sort of 'immersive' UI elements.
