no... i wasnt worrying. i wasnt worrying "too much."
i saw some screens the other week and while passing through felt compelled to state that they weren't just not good... they were really, really BAD.
ive never actually felt much about a HUD until this one. it just didnt make the cut, but it seems it is a moot issue now.
xmp is unusual in that there's a lot more data to display on the HUD than in most FPS games. it is a unique challenge and is sorta CENTRAL to how effective (and thus popular) the info system will be.

if a hud doesnt work... the gameplay wont work for most newbies.
i already have XMP. i dont merely want to see UTXMP. i want to see it work... and be popular.
it's very straight forward and THAT's why folks are worrying "too much" about the hud. this is a port from another game... and we want to see it rock.

Well, we dont know what FMI will do at this point. they may include the one tse tse linked, or they may stick with that unsightly original hud that they made up at first. Or they may make an option to choose either or, which may be hard to implement i think. But I think we should all wait and see before they close this thread.
At this point its a pointless argument.

well,
i'll be honest.
i didnt care if it had been said before. the thread was active and i thought best to post my own take.
/me shrug
i see they already moved onto another hud, but it's important for peeps to hear honest feedback on such essential things..

Tse Tse, thats ok to voice your opinion on it. Basically each person should just say once how they feel and leave it as is and let FMI take it from there if they wish. Its just that alot of people cant seem to accept others opinions or constructive critism and they feel the need to argue about it when they should know better that they cant change the way others feel about it. Thats what killed that thread.TseTse said:

OOPS! sorry about that. I just figured I was the only retard that didn't know about it. Heh ...
ok (settings) (hud) then under (visuals) choose (onslaught in the pulldown menu) then (configure) in there are the options for changing size transparency and location of the map....Woot!

I want the radar to auto-rotate - thats all. You can screw up the rest of the HUD but keep the auto-rotate of the radar

bingo.
the original HUD's color system was confusing. the design itself wasnt so bad.
XMP has SO MUCH INFO to convey that there almost needs to be a tab-based 2nd HUD for the ongoing team-status & objective info.
the important thing is to not push aesthetics over functionality. the last hud i saw them talking about was MUCH better than the one folks saw in screenshots.
i personally dont want it to look amatuerish and any LESS pleasing than the original (which looked good... just had issues).
i'd much rather them take the original and improve on it (in terms of using nuetral colors and making sure your TEAM is intuitively understood)... than remake an entirely new scheme that has the few fans yelling and screaming for months to come...
it has to be simple and effective, so much so that folks stop talking about it.
I like this style:

But I also really like this one:

Perhaps both?
