^^ what do you guys think?

i think it will be a good change but its somewhat risky. it could certainly add to that cinematic feel

There are a lot of fps out now that don't use huds (I.E. The Darkness ETC.) and it does add to the cinematic feel as you said. Great idea.

apparently a lot of the guns will have ammo remaining labelled on the gun itself, so you know when to reload... if not all the guns.

I think the HUD pops up when you shoot. And when you are not in any action, there is no HUD.

Personally I like it. I wish they would do away with the one i've seen in warhawk as its horrid appearence wise. I do like the ones where it's a in helmet view via MP3/Halo3 though

I love no HUD. Really immersive. one of the reasons I loved COD so much was that I was looking down the gun's sights, instead of a zoomed in picture with a crosshair.

It's also cool how the iron sights are 3-d. It sucks how you can't completely turn off the HUD. It would be even cooler if you could turn off the music and make the Russians not speak english.

Well that either means the game is extremly linear or has a cinematic way of showing you where to go.

It will be cool not having a hud in single player, but I hope they put one in for multiplayer.

Its a total flop if you own a 360 and not a PS3.

Its the greatest thing ever if you own a PS3 and not a 360.

You just enjoy the games if you have both. Hud pissing contests are the least of your concerns.

Most people don't use a full clip anyway in games. Unless you have no aim you take people down in at most a half a clip. Then reload manually. I never saw the point in HUDs for that reason.

Sweet. I hope they add in little COD effects like being able to hear the soldier breathing hard, and things like that.

cinematic gameplay can be cool

well its always good to know how much ammo you have, especialy in multiplayer. you dont want to risk a reload if you have enough ammo in your gun but you dont want to have to reload halfway through a fight

it's a very good idea. Apart from metroid i havent seen many games that use the hud well and in this case it should add to the warlike atmosphere

im glad, i hate having huds. Thats the beauty of pc games,you usually can always turn off hud/crosshair, and if you cant, you can mod it yourself to do so.

They could even replace the crosshair with a laser sight like Riddick if they wanted, aiming down the scope for more precision obviously.

They could go with an L.E.D. display on the side or top of the gun to show ammo. Or use translucent magazine's to show roughly how much ammo's left.

HUD for multiplayer - Yes

HUD for singleplayer - Doesn't matter either way.

I like the idea. Not knowing how much ammo/grenades you have left. No little dots or arrowsto tell you where friends and foes are. Just you running and gunning and hoping you have enough bullets to kill the next guy. I'd like to see more games without a HUD.... Or maybe I wouldn't. Oh well. I should be interesting to say the least.
