I was thinking that if they had a lot more animations than the typical FPS, Battlefront 3 could be a very unique first-person experience. I'm all for animations for getting in vehicles, grabbing things, getting knocked down (from explosions, there was this feature in the first and second I believe ...

Yeah, if you ever play Crysis 2 or look at a video of it, it is kind of like a more modernized version of what Republic Commando was doing with the Helmet HUD. In both games, it actually feels like you're in that helmet, which would be really cool for a game like this.

I think that it can look busy enough with your ammo display, map, health/shields, and vitals/stamina without looking too cluttered. If it moved around a little like in Crysis, it would look even more there if you get my meaning.
