Microsoft HALO-COMBAT EVOLVED User Manual

Health and Shield Indicators
The Health Indicator is the gauge next to the blue cross
symbol. Your health indicator is persistent but additional
indicators will appear on the HUD when you’re driving
the Warthog and have a gunner or passenger on board
(shown below). How full the fill bar is, and the color
used to fill it, indicates health status: red is poor, yellow
is okay, and blue is excellent. Health does not restore
automatically over time, but sometimes health power-
ups can be found right when you need them.
The Shield Indicator is the gauge next to the shield
symbol. When you’re not taking damage, your shield
charges automatically and stops charging when you
reach full power. When your shields are at a critical
level, the fill bar color changes to red until they recover
to full power.
Direction of Fire Indicator
When you’re in a firefight, the red arrows that appear
on the HUD indicate the direction(s) from which you’re
receiving enemy fire.
Motion Tracker
The Motion Tracker in the lower-left area of your HUD is
like overhead radar in that it displays characters and
vehicles in motion in a position relative to your own.
Enemies using visual stealth or that are motionless do
not appear on the Motion Tracker. When a unit or vehicle
starts and then stops moving, the representative dot
grows and fades away.
Scope Zoom
For weapons that use a scope,
you can change the zoom
magnification level for a closer
view of objects. To cycle through
the magnification levels press in
the

Weapon Indicator
The weapon indicator in the upper-left corner of your
HUD displays information about the weapon you’re
currently using. For ballistic weapons, you can quickly
check how many magazines of ammo you have left, as
well as the number of rounds left in a magazine. It also
displays the number of grenades you have.
When you arm yourself with enemy
charge weapons such as the
Covenant plasma rifle or pistol, the
Weapon Indicator changes to indicate
the percentage of charge you have
left in the weapon.
Targeting Reticle
The targeting reticle is the aiming device for the weapon
currently in use. The reticle style changes based on the
type of weapon it is. When the reticle turns red, an
enemy is in range and targeted.
Navigation Points
A red triangle on the HUD represents a nav point. The
direction an triangle points indicates the heading you
must take to reach the next nav point. Nav points are
useful navigational tools for meeting up with your crew
at prearranged locations or to help you maintain
awareness of areas of interest.
Flashlight Indicator
The Flashlight Indicator appears on the HUD when you
press the

you have left to power the flashlight. Because the
flashlight does drain power from you battle suit, use it
only as needed.
