this one is so much better^

Looks like they changed it to be more obvious

[kiss my RICE]

Yes, its definetly easier to see, but I hope that there won't be too many things on it, it will hurt gameplay. The current BF2 HUD is fine with me, you can see tons of stuff, the health/ammo display is small, and the minimap kicks @$$! Also...there aren't health bars anymore, they turned it into...a bar...thingy...that goes down. Will make it a bit harder to estimate damage.

[DarQraven]

If possible in games, I turn the hud and weapon models off anyway.
For example in CSS, I only see the crosshair, and 3 small numbers showing my amount of health, armor and ammo in clip. Most of the time, sound cues are enough to know what you're doing, whether a weapon is still reloading, or what weapon you have out.

The pointer thingies they show in the bf2142 movies so far might be a little annoying. I mean, after so many hours of playing, I think you'd know where the silo's are, and don't need an annoying arrow to fly all over your screen pointing it out. It's not bad they have that arrow, it's just a little ... in your face :p
If they made that thing smaller, less obvious or even semi-transparent, I think it would be better.

[Asrath]

Maybe u can check an option to show the arrow, like a noob guide and later uncheck this option.

[Splinter]

if it's only as big as the 3D map flag icon I wont mind.
New HUD looks cool.

I doubt that in a game where you need cruise missles to wear down the shields, that you'd be inclined to give a crap about EXACT percentages of armour on the titans.

Personally, I think they should have the shield bar decrease on the picture of the titan.. not some little obscure square with a big *** shield taking up nearly half of it.

the first one is so S***

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Which one do you guys likr the best.... I think the layout of the bottom one is better

[MrBenis]

I think the reason for the change comes from the older one taking up too much room. Simple answer there was to just shrink it, not redesign it to some bogus mutant slug with a halo in his half-shell. Turtle power.

Whats wrong with turtle power...LOL

[Miniman]

the E3 Hud was awesome and beautiful, this new one is to small.
a custmosable hud would be good

That would be awsome...

[bigvasher]

O`man, i hope they don`t use the first one! it looks ^%*(&%....
The second one (the one they used at E3) looks way much better and hope that there going to put that one in the game.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Yeah that is pretty unanamous... I like your sig bigvasher

[Splinter]

I saw in those latest vid's that the health bar also had 1-100 marker, you could see it in the bar, so you know exactly how much damage you have taken, same with armour as well.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Good I'm GLAD

[DarQraven]

They should definitely go with the bigger hud, not the tortoise one. However, just because this hud showed up later, doesn´t mean that it´s a later version of the hud. It could be that the e3 hud is the one they are still using, and that the ´new´ one is one featured in an older demo that people got to play more recently. Just because these movies were made later, does not mean it is a later build.

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think the new one is more streamlined and less bluky hence why they changed it but it looks like it might be less effective.

I'd rather have ti small and not so useful than huge and have tons of info.

[BurningMonkeyFur]

I agree, it has a certain simplicity to it that I like

[CtrlAltDe1337]

The new one does look very ugly :/

[ReaperOfsouls]

True, but at least its not obstructing your veiw.

[MrBenis]

All they had to do was shrink the original HUD.. that would be effective enough, right?

[BF2142_2]

maybe you can change it in options

[Splinter]

hope so, I like the old one from E3 better, it tell's you how much shield you have left and how long before an anti-titan missiel is launched.

[Serenity]

I liek teh old one and I thought of a way they could use it and make it have less screen clutter and not by just shrinking it.

If they moved teh sheild/core status bars out to the left and the right more, they could put the missle silo status inbetween it and slim the whole thing down a little bit, I think that would be better than what they got now.

[Silent_Ops]

yup same with me

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I think the old one is just fine.....
