From studing my Prime time movies, I think I have an Idea what the HUD for MP is. There are only 3 views in the movies so far.
First is the combat visor. This is the default visor, it displays alot of icons.
Health: well every visor has this. So far it only goes up to 99 and every time you change visors it recaculates itself.
Controller info: When something comes up when you need to perform a new move, it will tell you the button combo with pictures of the buttons and text for like 15 secs
Map: This displays a 3D map, unlike the 2d map in the old metriods in the legendary upper right corner. You first have to find the map, which is a orange halogram floating in some secret room and when you walk into it you get it. Also, pressing start gives you a bigger map with zoom and stuff
Ammo meter: This is a graphical meter and number of ammunition you have left for your gun. While the main gun's little shots are free, holding it charged slowly decreases your ammo meter then recharges it back when your gun isn't doing anything and it also recaculates it's self when you return to the combat visor. But for missles and stuff, you will have to find them yourself.
Gun selection: I guess this is selected with the C stick. Press in the direction of your guns (which I hope you can assign) and your gun turns orange and transforms. This is alot beter then having to scroll through crappy guns to get the one for the occasion.
Visor view: same with guns except with visor views and I guess the control pad. Each visor has it's own purpose. So far I have seen these visors, 3 of them are going to be listed in this thread.
Combat visor
Seek visor
fog visor (i guess)
inflared visor
important indicator: if they is something important, this lights up and moves up and down. It can only piont to the left of you so you would have to turn all the way arond if it's on the right of you.
Enemy radar: well I think that is what it is. I'm sure enemies are the red dots, green dots are item, and blue dots are critcal things. I havent seen any of this in action though, you may have to activate it in each level.

Now to the ball view. When you roll up into a ball, the screen goes 16:9 and in the top black area it show 2 icons (maybe mor ewhen you get more advance bombs)
Health: displays your health. recaculates every time you change your view
Bombs left: Display graphically how many bombs you have left. You start off with 3 and I'm sure you can get more

The seek visor disarms you and makes a seek box with a magnifier. You have to seek for these little icons which are switches. when you find one, it automatically focus's on it and starts scanning. This takes like 5 secs then the action is performed. Now this was a good idea apart from other FPS because you can't just run in a room with enimies, flip the switch, and run out. You will have to kill the enimies and take your time doing the switch.
Health: Guess;)
seek box: this is the little magnifier that can read the switches.
Completion bar: this is a litle bar that goes accross the bottom of the box when scanning. You can't move or use your weapon during this time though.
Little icons you can seek to: These are the switches. They are kinda dark in the combat visior view but light up when the seek view is on. fully scanning these turns on an elevator, opens a door, ect. In this screen shot, it fill this section of the space station with air, causing gravity to work and debreese falls to the floor
The end
