Topic: Storm Trooper HDUs

I know that clone troopers had an advanced helmet display unit (HDU) that presented them with all this neat stuff (kinda like the cross comm in ghost recon advanced war fighter). It goes to figure that the storm troopers have the same style of system. Isn't there any neat stuff you an do with that? Like maybe there could be a similar system to what the jets have, that picks targets up on radar, and puts a box around them. Maybe the stormies, though could pick up infantry, or viechles. Or perhaps some neat vision modes (infared an stuff if thats codable in vanilla).

This could be balanced by giving rebel soldiers better speed, or some gadget that may be more useful to them? The reason I suggest this is that I hate when two different armies feel the same with different skins. Any way to make them play alot different then the other side?

Re: Storm Trooper HDUs

Actualy that's the incorrect context. He was referring to a spicifc piece of technology titled 'HDU'. Anyway, I really like this idea. Mabye even to just make it feel different, rearange items on the HUD to create a HDU effect.

Oh, and WELCOME to the forums Golongi!

Re: Storm Trooper HDUs

i like the idea.. but personally not for all stormies! it would more or less give a kinda wall hack advantage to them imo.

it may be a small addition to a special trooper say storm commando only at short range.. i do like it. will see what the guys say big_smile

Re: Storm Trooper HDUs

Well, if you decide to add it, is it possible for just the squad leader to have this ability?

Re: Storm Trooper HDUs

there has been discussion about kit limiters for squad leaders and commanders, so it might be possible to do this.  I would personally like to see this implemented, a short range infantry detection unit for the squad leaders' HDU's would be really cool.

By the way, does HDU stand for 'Helmet Display Unit' as opposed to the HUD which is a 'Heads Up Display'
