original Marathon HUD

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

original Marathon HUD

In Response To: Re: Cycling the HUD (Lt. Et'he)

The original HUD took up a lot of screen real estate, but the actual player view was in a sort of letterbox format above it (in default resolution the Marathon Infinity screen is 640x320 for the view with a 640x160 HUD across the bottom. thus, even though the HUD is pretty big, it never obscures any of the in-game action. In it's current form the opaque Marathon-style HUD sits on top of the view, obscuring the weapn models and some of the play area.
