As someone who plays no hud and has the combat feeling more like a tactical shooter, I love it

Deep Rock Galactic does both aswell

Don’t care it looks cool

I only find number displays useful when going for a no hud run

Fun Fact, the reason Halo:CE had a bullet counter on the MA5B & future iterations was because of the HUD. Bungie purposely made the hud ammo counter into singular bullets so made it plausible to actually not take your eyes off the center of the screen / aka combat engagement. However unfortunately Halo infinite & Starfield don’t understand this.

The Aliens M-41A Pulse Rifle did it first, and it was awesome.

its a joke lmao. everyone in the comments is taking it seriously

Does it make sense?: no
does it look cool?: hell yes

Doom 3 set the standard with ammo counters on guns all those years ago, and yet barely anyone is able to replicate it, smh

i think it looks cool

L take

Is that the 10mm SMG?????

Ah yes I aswell have a hud in my eyesight

It’s not a matter of gameplay but lore and worldbuilding. This is a pretty bad take, honestly, if you’re serious.

Yeah but MA5B goes brrrrt

Makes sense for one of those games where either, A) all of the HUD elements are physical things in the game (like Dead Space), or B) it’s a special attachment/gun in those games that don’t have a HUD to make it more realistic.

Honestly imo, an ammo counter on your gun doesnt sound like a bad idea, especially if youre playing on no hud but like…why is it designed like that

Haha yeah thats part of the NASA-punk look they were going for. It wasnt all terribly bad.

Just cool having a number display.

In-universe, people don’t have HUDs in their eyes.
It is a bit of immersion world-building.

Something this game lacks a lot.

Can’t you turn off the HUD in the game?
