Ugh, Guardian, that's worse than the original. BTG2's looks better, but why is it all greyscale? Where did all the pretty colours GO???

+1, except the borders around the grenades and ammo are way too large and distracting still.Quote:

I was shown this before the health meter was put in and I thought it was cool-looking by my first reaction. Stepping back and thinking about it... well, I still like the grenade and ammo counters, and the motion tracker I think is fine. But, the ammo meters are a tad intrusive, and the health/shields meter is way too confusing and busy. I'm with Pooky on the outlines; too thick. I'm on the boat of finding meters with zero at the center confusing and misrepresentative at bad times; sometimes I get the illusion that I have 2x more of something than I do. The feeling is mitigated enough when the meter is broken into countable chunks (like what was done with the health meter), but the solid shield meter does screw with me sometimes.
Might I suggest moving the shield/health/flashlight meter to either bottom corner and make it deplete in one direction, and keep the hexagonal patterns to the motion tracker only? I'm thinking that putting the health/shields with the motion tracker is a good idea, even if it it was done in Halo 2; when you're low on health and shields and in combat, I'd imagine people steal a glance at the motion tracker to see where enemies are, and why look from one end of the screen to the other to check?
All HUDs are done in greyscale, coloring is done via tag.Quote:

Simplify it and cut out the shit that serves no purpose.
^ I like Boba's simplicity, though BTG2's version keeps the shapes a little more interesting. Also, I like BTG2's faded honeycomb in the motion tracker.

say it with me: FUCK. GRADIENTS.
(and centered health bars)
I actually like this one a lot. Maybe have a better way to show how much ammo is left, at least a 00/000 (ie 27/064) fashion on the number counter (on cagerrin's hud, to clarify).Quote:
