HUD boot-up when we spawn. The various HUD elements should turn like 1.5 seconds after you spawn.

Let us see our legs when we look down. Not only does it make sense that we would be able to see our legs, but would also be useful for being able to judge at what point we will fall off a ledge.

HUD wobble like back in the closed betahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt0_dWSyVKI (I miss the old battle song).

Head-shot damage visual distortion effects. Sensors & cameras for vision are located in helmet, so when shields are down and you are hit by headshot, the cameras' vision should be effected.

Blur and ear-ringing effect from experiencing large explosions (like vehicle explosions) from close distance. The blur and tinnitus effects are already one of countless promised features promised in the feedback/requests weekly updates thread. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=425608#post425608 ; we were promised this back in November 2012. Large explosions should also cause a bit of camera shake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8P8pNIzzV4 .

Low beeping alarm and flashing red circle inside the health meter when HP is critically low. Nothing too obnoxious, but an alarm system would really help with the feeling that our suits are smart high tech suit.

HUD color and style based on dropsuit's race. This was a suggestion I proposed a long time ago, and CCP said it will come in the weekly updates thread and during the Advancing the Core talk at EVE Fanfest 2013. I feel the need to post it again because I fear CCP may forget.

Arm-computer hologram based on dropsuit race. I am referring to the thing used for hacking, recalling, calling orbitals, and detonating REs. It makes sense that computers and holograms made by very different races would have different user interfaces.

I will add more if I think of more, and if I like a suggestion in the comments.

The old school combat song! I like the new one more, but I would still like the old song to be in game. HUD wobble!! The distortion effect when the forge gun explodes near you! The old school electronic sight for the assault rifle! Spectate Cam! (that really should be integrated into our games some how.) USEFUL Railgun tanks that can fight at close range! Oh yeah, all your suggestions were really good too. +1

Not just retextures and fog. Give us rainfall, from a light drizzle to torrential downpours. Give us snow, from a slight frost to a heavy blizzard. Give us debris fields, as tanks and dropships explode, and as orbital strikes happen, we should see the sky darken and embers and ash should start flowing through the air like during the Caldair Prime event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJhiOzNc1Jg Body and Presence As stated, I want to see my legs. Hearing our merc voices is a nice touch, but let us modify the voices. My guy sounds like a ****. Make the sounds of me running "heavier", I want to hear my equipment as I move. Scouts should have a nice soft footstep. Assaults should have a nice equipment stomp, where you can hear your gear and equipment BF3-style, and Heavies should have a good heavy stomp, with the sound of their mechanical servos as they move. Allow me to run and slide, and vault over objects. Let me break into a roll when I hit the ground from height. Give me takedown kills for sneaking up on someone while crouched. Let us reppel, down the side of walls and towers. Let us shoot while we reppel. Allow mercs to actually sit on the outside of tanks. Scramble my HUD and vision as my armor takes heavy damage. Let me holster my weapon when I haven't shot at anything for a while. Make my merc curse and swear when his weapon overheats. (scrambler explodes? "fvck!) Make enemy mercs scream, "grenade!" when i throw one at them. Make the mercs shout when they see a tank, "MADRUUUUUUUGARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!" Hm... I can go on and on and on........
