======Head to Head======
A twist on the classic WipEout experience. Compete head-to-head with another pilot for the first place in a race where weapons are disabled. The gap between you and your opponent is displayed on the HUD.

**Head to Head** was featured in [[wipeout_series:wipeout_pulse|WipEout Pulse]] and was cut from [[wipeout_series:wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]] during production.

=====In WipEout Pulse=====
This mode is available in both **Racebox** and the campaign grids. (FIXME add screenshots or something!)
=====In WipEout HD=====
**Head to Head** was not officially featured in [[wipeout_series:wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]].
====Re-enabling the game mode====
It is possible to make the mode playable by modifying the game's assets. Edit the file:
<file>data00.psarc/data/plugins/frontend/gui/racebox_definition.xml</file>
Around line 42 of the document, replace the tags
<code><aEntry> and </aEntry></code>
with their correct spellings:
<code><Entry> and </Entry></code>
Upon restarting the game, **Head to Head** will become available in **Racebox**.
====About====
The mode is playable and mostly identical to how it appeared in [[#In WipEout Pulse|WipEout Pulse]]. The distance indicator HUD element is reused from **WipEout Pulse**. Additionally, if the HUD style is set to //2097// or //WIP3OUT//, the game freezes upon loading into the race. 
=====Developement=====
====WipEout HD===
In the 2008 Beta build of **WipEout HD** (FIXME link!), the mode is available in **Racebox** without having to modify the game's assets. This may imply that the mode was scrapped before/around the time the game //failed epilepsy tests// (FIXME link the appropriate section of wohd development!), since the other HUD skins were added after that point and were never fixed to work with **Head to Head**.
=====Trivia=====
While the mode doesn't directly appear in [[wipeout_series:wipeout_2048|WipEout 2048]], some [[wipeout_series:wipeout_2048#single_player_campaign|Campaign]] events feature similar conditions: [[single_race|Single Races]] with only one opponent, though there isn't a special HUD for it, and the pilots are allowed to use [[pickups:missile|Missiles]].
