It looks great, and some of the posters in this thread need to switch to decaf
GDC video's (Tanks, destruction, and Beta info).
- Thread starter Stiler
- Start date
nothing wrong with people expressing their opinions as long as it is constructive......I thought there was way too much stuff being displayed on the screen that detracts from the immersion. I also really dislike the font and think the text size is way too big. Overall the game is obviously amazing, but I am taken back a bit by the incredibe amount of info/text/icons/whatever displayed all over the place during gameplay

I'm glad to see it coming along. Here's hoping I get some input on deciding how techno the Terminator HUD gets.
And my thought on a non-visual magazine weight indicator? Each time you jam in the magazine, your avatar gives a little grunt or exhaling sound indicating the amount of physical effort used. A light grunt means an easy to insert light magazine, a slightly louder grunt means a heavier magazine.

That pic is exactly what your HUD is going to look like 1000% of the time.

If:
- You are playing relaxed
- and you are the team leader
- and your team just captured an objective
- and you just reloaded
- and you just killed some dudes
- and you are holding down the tactical view button
Looks amazing but there is so many hud elements on screen and a few of them shouldn't even be there. Not a fan of the proggression system at all. Leveling player stats like speed and stamina have no place in any multiplayer fps. I understand TW is trying to appeal to new players but still just seeing something like a leveling server in RO2 will make me die a little inside.
THANK YOU TWI. Thanks for adding the experience rank on a realistic rank system. Less recoil, reload times for veteran players. LOVE IT!!! Don't listen to the *****ing, people love to work for things. It's fits right into RO2 realism model, and it's smart marketing. You should get something for being a veteran player. lol It's so balanced and realistic in every feature. Sounds and fire rates are great. Best of all I'm very happy with the bolt function and speed. Bolts BABY!!! 
The video quality/lighting sucks, but I know it's not a true visual quality of the game. Be proud TWI, I am.

My only complaint schneidzekk is the bottom hud icon in the bottom center. It's too large and distracting. A nice thin line bar indicator smaller text shows capping. My only feed back. I hope to get into the beta.
Quoted for emphasis.
In addition to the fact that by default, your HUD will be practically empty (as we've seen from previous demonstrations and explanations by devs), there is a lot of information that you would have in real life that is impossible or very difficult to communicate to you in game, thus facilitating the need for a HUD.

Wow this thread really went to negative town since I last posted.
I agree with some of the comments here, don't get me wrong, but wow some of you need to put your comments in context. It's clear how much TWI listens to feedback and I have seen some really great improvements since the last gameplay videos. We should be jumping up and down for joy that TWI is getting the BIG and IMPORTANT things totally right, such as improving the fluidity of the game.
Do I like all of their additions? No. You can see my posts to get that. But at the same time I am willing to see my complaints within the bigger picture of what's important. Did none of you hear the last bit that Yoshiro said at the end of the video?
"When we have the beta our testers will be telling us all the things we are doing wrong, which we know they will." (not verbatim)
A development team that doesn't care about what people suggest or think doesn't say things like this, and it would be nice if some people in this thread would show more respect towards the developers in giving their criticisms. Especially given that so many people posting here (including me) were crying desperately for new media as recently as two days ago.

It should be there. The difference in weight between an empty 30 round AR/AK magazine and one with 10 rounds inside is a very noticeable difference. You can apply this to all gun magazines.
And when you stuff your mags back into your pouch during a wet/tactical reload you will eventually come back to the magazine. You should be able to know if you're pulling a fresh one out or if you are pulling out a previously used one.
The feature should be in as it is perfectly realistic, but it should just be off to the side. Even in relaxed realism mode. Text appearing in the center of your screen is just annoying and distracting.
Um, no. In real life, you can feel the weight of the magazine in your hand.
Um, no. In real life, you intuitively know how "suppressed" you are. A bar is the easiest way to communicate this information to the player.
That's a terrible solution, as it would require modifying the in game physics or weapon bounding boxes such that they never touch each other. Not realistic.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize this game was meant to tailor to your exact needs and that 99% of players should play exactly the game you want to play.
Like schniedzekk said, all these HUD elements only appear when they need to, and by default are not visible. So it's not an issue. Besides this, the HUD elements are necessary to communicate realistic amounts of information to the player.
No suppression bar is needed in DH because the suppression is instant, unlike RO2's gradual suppression.
Once again, HUD provides realistic amount of feedback to the player.
Agreed. Unless there's a typhoon in Stalingrad, the trees shouldn't shake that much.
In conclusion: HUDs are realistic.

OK, just going to step in here and say I have NO problem with the HUD we've seen. I personally will be turning almost everything off (except for kill messages), but the HUD elements will be incredibly useful for first time players. My brother played RO, and though he liked it, he could never get fully into it because he would get frustrated with a number of things and be confused about where to go/how to do things at times. With these HUD elements, the game tells you exactly what's going on, when you're being supressed, how much stamina you have left, where the objectives are, when a cap is being attacked, etc. and this is going to be IMMENSELY usefull for first time players. Once they learn the maps/get a feel for the mechanics, they can start turning off HUD elements one by one. These elements would have made RO's introduction for many people a lot smoother and more enjoyable, because people want to know what's going on! These HUD elements are not for me, for you, or probably even the devs really, but more for our friends who we want to get into HOS without scaring them off. People might not understand RO like we do right away (the people who've been playing for years), but this will help ease them in, and hopefully, convert them to the light side of gaming forever.

The ONLY issues I have with the current HuD are:
1) the magazine weight notification is too big and is right in the middle of the screen. Just moving it out of the way would fix this.
2) I don't like the suppression bar, and I think it should at least be only visible in relaxed realism mode. The way they are implementing suppression right now, it seems pretty obvious when you are being suppressed through visual and audio cues. A bar is simply unnecessary in my opinion.
3) Player names being seen without the player looking at them. I'm all in favor of only having names of allies show when they are close and being looked at by the player. Otherwise, I don't want their names showing.
These are all pretty minor changes and usually things like HUD art and menus are the last things to get polished and completed. Hence the reason I'm not too worried, but certainly want to give my opinions.
Oh and ...

Don't like the UI ?
Than just play on Servers using Realism Mode ! Problem Solved.
Gotta agree with whoever said that on the last page: The animation don't blend into eachother well enough, especcially the dying animation->ragdoll doesn't look right imo. The dying animation itself already looked kinda weird, then having the guy suddenly fall down like his brain was deactivated in 1 milisecond doesn't seem authentic to me.
