There could be a little flashing arrow, white, to show what direction you're pointing....

Ghost Recon Future Soldier had a great X-Ray Vision called the Back-Scatter. Fall-off was 40 Meters

Live strong, fight hard. Your brothers stand beside you.
I was just saying that because we were on the topic of sonars and being able to see hostiles/ friendlies behind walls. I apologize if it was off-topic. I'll stand by you to brother :) For the Republic!

That sounds swell. How possible would it be to add curvature to the Hud, so it actually looks like an helmet? Even though this isn't reality, in life you can glance to your left or right and see area to your ears without turning around entirely. The screen could curve so you can slightly see to your right and left, and a little bit perpendicular your nose. This would challenge flanking players to really work hard for the kill, because running from the side of a person should not be as easy as it is, and really add immersion. Saw a grenade blast near your ear? Holy crap I should see what that came from. Getting shot from your left, you may see bullet trails from that direction, giving a much better indication of where the shooter is.
Yes, I know there should be situational awareness, but only having a 45 degree view of what is in front of us when we have a near 90 or 180 actually is quite interesting. To aid in balance, make the edges and side blurrier, so if you glance you can see your side, but to get a crisp image you need to turn as we do now. In life, what is in front of you is the focus, so you aren't constantly distracted by things your outside. And yes, I know we should invest in precision enhancers, but other than that-
Thoughts?

Really digging the grid map, especially if we can zero in orbitals to that point, get crazy accurate. Hell, it could even have a red circumference in the Orbital Screen to show possible splash damage reach. Crazy helpful in PC since you could say, "EVERYONE FROM 4.5-20 TO 8.3-30 NEEDS TO GET THE HELL OUTTA DODGE CAUSE I'M DROPPING THIS THING!"

Keeping this thread alive...
We could very well do away with many cluttering icons in exchange for animations.
For example, get rid of the overheat bar, and make it where a weapon about to overheat slowly makes it harder to see on your screen. If the Scrambler overheats for example, your gun flashes violently, blinding you. You are unblended when your gun in no longer seized, as users don't need to see their gun seize and their enemy blasting them away.
For ammo, have the reading either on the side of the gun as in Ghost Recon Future Soldier, or actually as a reader on the gun, as in (This game is only used for reference, I hate it) Aliens: Colonial Marines.
The HUD should also be using icons. The Warbarge Strike should be a reading that lights up, and STAYS lit up. Squad Leads often miss its appearance in the midst of battle, and I swear sometimes I've gotten one and the reading never appears. The middle of the screen should be free to see hostiles, as well as the sides, and the icons hopefully could be placed on a grid like outline, similar to how Windows allows you to move shortcuts.
It'd be extremely cool as well if icons on our screen could almost be submenus, similar to the Iron Man Suit. When Tony looks or thinks of an icon, it activates. If the Warbarge Strike becomes available, it should pulse in the corner of your screen where it is. You double-tap( to avoid accidental presses) a single key if using a mouse/keyboard, and it drags you into the map screen, where a fine click can decimate your enemies.
Legion needs to be seamless. Movement-Combat-Teamwork/Tactics= Immersion, and the more flawless elements work together, the more I can get into Legion

Peanut is busy y'all most likely. i'M digging that field of vision idea, humans can see far more than 60 degrees, our futuristic drop suit should not see that narrow. Since we are having BPOs of suits, perhaps we could have different versions with different features. For example, one turns faster, but has only a small field of view
Another suit can make you see behind you if you press a certain key, but it turns very slowly, so you have to be preemptive.
Just some thoughts
