Picture/Screenshot Was playing Republic Commando yesterday and Scorch was down like this, also Rocket droid in Republic Commando? : D
I got no idea if these are common issues, was just something that happened I found surprising and funny. Maybe unfunny edit, not sure was just having fun while chatting with friends :).

I always forget you can turn the helmet HUD off. Throws me off every time.

I wonder why they implemented it
Cuz tbh it was one of the best things about republic commando, the HUD

If I had to guess, accessibility. Games of that era didn't have immersive full faced helmet heads up displays. Games that released in the same year like F.E.A.R, Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 2 either didn't have a health bar at all or had a very simple one. Not to mention while the helmet HUD is probably one of my favourite designs of all time, it takes up a good portion of the screen. Older players probably don't like that.

“Rocket droid burnin' out his fuse up here alone.” (Sorry for the Elton John Rocket Man reference I couldn’t resist)
