Halo 5 UI screens????

The following were posted on NeoGaf. A friend of mine alerted me to these screenshots of what may be part of the User Interface (UI) of Halo 5 Guardians.

I make no claim that these are real, so take these with a grain of salt. I will say this, they don’t look bad and if they turn out to be the real deal, I’d be happy about it.

I definitely like the use of the Infinity. Though note that it’s being used here for multiplayer. I’m curious to see if the Infinity will play any key role in the campaign.IMG_4420

Now this one I can’t wait to explore. Early rumors have it that we won’t be able to customize separate pieces of armor. Meaning, you can’t choose different shoulders, chest plate, etc. Rather as the rumor says, you will only be able to pick your helmet, and then the rest as an armor set. That I hope is not true. Part of the fun of making your own spartan is the flexibility of customizing yours spartan. Limiting those options will make it much easier for there to be duplicates of your spartan out there. We will have to wait and see.IMG_4421The settings screen below is pretty standard, with one exception. Bottom left, we see the option to have end sprint or maintain sprint. This I assume to mean that we can have sprint on for as long as it last or to stop sprinting when we choose. This is a little confusing. So I can’t wait to see this explained.IMG_4422Another pretty standard settings screen. Oh…but wait… MUSIC, Effects, and Voiceover volume controls? As well as MP chatter?? YES! The option to reduce specific sounds independently will be VERY welcomed. I know that I’ll likely drop music way down or off (not the first run through of the campaign mind you, but afterwards). Voice over? Yeah, that will drop a little. It’s the MP chatter that I’m most looking forward to dropping in volume. If I’m gaming with a bunch of buddies, I want to hear THEM, not the infused chatter. The only major benefit IMO of the MP chatter is to let us know when heavy weapons are about to spawn in. The rest of it though? Meh.IMG_4423And… as I mentioned above, this screen below is helping to solidify the rumor of limited armor customization. I do hope that when you click on the armor tab, it then gives you more options, such as shoulders, chest, forearms, legs.IMG_4424As for your spartan ID, the stance comes back. I’m okay with that. I’m going to guess that with the assassination tab that you can either pick to show the animation or not. If you choose to show it, you then have options to show which animation you want, depending on what you’ve unlocked via REQ cards.IMG_4425Hmmm, now we see that weapons skins will be more limited in the types of weapons that are skinned. I’m actually okay with this. I don’t at all mind Covie weapons not having skins, nor Promethean weapons. After all, the Covies are systematic and with a rare exception, wouldn’t think to have custom skins. The Prometheans of course are using weapons from 100,000 years ago. As well, since they are basically cyborgs, they wouldn’t really be of mind to want skins.

But the UNSC? Oh hells yeah! From what 343 has said, there will be dozens of skins to unlock!IMG_4426Again, take these screens with a grain of salt. I’m only passing this on to make you aware they are out there. Please don’t ‘shoot the messenger’.

  1. If the UI looks that clean it would be awesome! A UI does not have to be all that fancy. The UI in MCC was cool looking, but was clunky as all get out. Oh, and being able to adjust the music in lobby is a very welcome sign!

  2. What i think would be cool is for the spartan hub when changing armor’s it goes into how the spartan ops soldiers changed their armor in that machine thingy lol.

    • Yes, this is something I’ve brought up to a few of the folks at 343. I’d love to be able to traverse the Infinity, with the armor bay being one place we can go to. There we can watch other armor being put on, or have our own armor put on. Would be cool. Don’t know though how much the Infinity will play a role in Halo 5 Guardians.
