Competitive view option ingame

[viperozza]

To be fair, the screen as a player looks absolutely horrible and is something that needs some serious work. There's way too much double/triple-posting of information, useless information and stuff hogging up the screen.

And that looks more like a spectator-screen (which it is, lol) than a player screen.

1) I don't need team names with the players listed on left/Right side, I have that info on the scoreboard at my will

2) That thing dropping down from the top when scoreboard is checked, keep that for spectators only. As a player it's annoying & unnecessary to have it drop down.

3) Have chat fade away after 4-5 seconds of nothing being said (and make sure 'your friend has connected' isn't shown in chat to interfere with it). Seriously, this is something every other game does, and we can always press C to bring it up if we need to read something we missed.

4) Attacker armor is not something I've ever looked bottom right to check. 99% of the time I know how many armors the attacker has left, and 1% of the time I actually think he has 1 when he has 2, so the text bottom right doesn't really help me whatsoever. If anything, why not display that information on the scoreboard as well? My teammate didn't even know about it untill we pointed it out not long ago (Not sure if he was trolling or not, but this could very well be true, and he's been playing since last summer)

Atleast this is how I would choose to display the information, and it would just look so much cleaner for me as a player.

Changing the screen so only your crosshair is pretty bad imo, this also hides the timer (keep timer visible too!). Not only that but the sound indication on capture mode would be disabled.

Yeah totally agree with all of you, this would be a nice change.

About the buddy notification at the top of screen - This is a major problem for me, I ALWAYS have to set my status as busy while in an important game. The huge black bar doesn't need to be shown when somebody connects to the game, why not just have a small window pop down like the current, why does that black bar need to be shown?

Little things like that distract me and other players I know in-game and it's not right especcially for a competitive game type.

but this would be better? http://puu.sh/2PIIQ.jpg

Not necessarily: when i attack i sometimes like to see who's left from the defenders; plus, never once my view has gotten obstructed from that part of the GUI, as well as the rest of it, so i don't see a problem, for me at least.

I think that everything else could just be moved to the Tab view (or just another GUI-mode on pressing *).

I think a mix between this : http://www.myhyper.de/wp-content/upload ... UD_V12.jpg

and the shootmania HUD would be nice

kinda like this : http://i.imgur.com/mC2pWoO.jpg





i think it gives more of fov free and the things you need to see are easy to spot.

i know i've huge paint skills

They should make the hud as customizable as unreal. The whole drag and drop deal . To me that would be ideal like a side bar showing when its done charging etc.

I think the ability to design the GUI how an individual wants it would be the ideal way of doing things. Not sure if it is the most realistic or practical but it would suit everyone! As one setting or a couple of settings can't please thousands of people.

Server chat would be good in this view - obstacle servers and this annoying widgets. Great to see hud, chat and anything other. (I know F7 but it hides 1, maybe 2 windows... )

I thought this game was suppose to be nothing but user generated content. All I see is devs being tyranical and not listening. Sorry Nadeo I call it how I see it.
