Taking this fade out idea one step further, it would be cool if the interface elements were logically segmented so, for example, the shield bar only displays when shields are hit or not at full capacity, sprinting on full health would only display the stamina bar and the ammo bar fades out when the weapon stays fully loaded for a certain time. Partially full stats should always display to keep awareness of ones status intact.

The only issue i see is that the UI (especially the hp area) is not really designed to provide this functionality as there are large areas of non funcional elements that occpuy most of the UI so that fading only the bars would not net any benefit in terms of cleanliness.

That means that a complete optical redesign to seperate all metrics into independent and informative units would be needed.

I Don't think it should Fade Completely.
Just Become More Transparent so your Eyes aren't Snapped to it while your Looking for something else.

Nice Idea. In Fact, Great Idea.

Have the option to have an interactive HUD; If you get hit your left HUD fades in and then fades out if you stop getting hit. Charging a weapon or firing causes the right HUD to fade in but when your just running around it's not there. Obviously these would be able to be toggled on or off. I kinda like the idea of the second one.

Some customization would be nice though. I could set it to give me some kind of alert when either my shield, armor, or both gets to a certain percentage of my choosing, or alert me when my radar detects a raspberry. I also agree that the entire HUD could use some more three dimensionality. Make it look more like an AR display. I do like this idea. Again the idea is options. Whether it's weapon types, curved helmet look, active, off, etc. it would be nice to see this implemented. Yes there are more important things to address but hey this is the suggestion place isn't it?
