    -The mode is playable and mostly identical to its appearance in [[#In WipEout Pulse|WipEout Pulse]]. The distance indicator HUD element is reused from **WipEout Pulse**.

    -This mode is still available in the racebox in a Beta build of WipEout HD in the same state as retail.+====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**.

    -This mode indirectly reappears in [[wipeout_series:wipeout_2048|WipEout 2048]] on the campaign grid twice as [[single_race|Single Races]] with special condition. As such, weapons (missiles to be exact) are available and the distance between ships isn't tracked. +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]].
