WHY is there no Helmet HUD? Is there a mod?

[Baklavah]

This drives me nuts. They go through the trouble of making the helmet look like it exists, and then it just POOFS away. I like the game but I would love it that much more.

I don't need no helmet in the way. Less is more.

Sounds and looks more boring. There should be a "helmet hud on/off" option. It's ridiculous that there isn't.

I agree, but it sure as hell won't be added by id, and the modding scene isn't exactly crazy with there only being 6 mods on the Nexus page. I would love to see this implemented in the game, though.

When I first saw him with the enclosed view, for that split second. my mind said no-way am I playing with that in the way. Glad it was gone before I finished that thought.

I still feel the option should be available in the Gameplay menu. It's silly that it isn't. Didn't anyone ever play Metroid Prime? That was awesome.

I found that very limiting, and Prime is WAY slower, you need all the screen you can get in DOOM, and the helmet would just get in the way.

Again, if it were an option, you wouldn't have to use it. It's called IMMERSION. Some people like that kind of thing.

okay. then let's circle back to the original questions.

there is. those are the power/shield/health/ammo indicators at the corners of the screen. if you're meaning why can't you see the inside of the actual helmet, then the answer is that the devs didn't program the game with it. a HUD is the display that the equipment provides. you're not meant to see the equipment but the HUD. in the future I would assume there is tech to allow a soldier's combat helmet to "disappear" to allow as much situational awareness as possible, thereby allowing the soldier to IMMERSE himself into the battlefield rather than be distracted/blocked by his helmet. think of the F35 helmets that allow pilots to see right through the planes as if they weren't physically there. we have that tech now, no reason not to assume it's been advanced in the future.

is there a mod? no.
