What do you want to see in a HUD?

hooliDeepI like the TF2 minimal hud. Keep health and ammo in the corners. I want 80% of my screen to be clear of hud.The whole point of keeping information close to your crosshair is to minimize the time it takes for you to look at your health and keep your focus on the middle of your screen.

I'd prefer having to look further than having a bunch of shit in the middle of my screen.

Realistically, you should have a general idea of your health in the middle of a fight, same with ammo. Any other time, you have plenty of time to look over to your health and ammo.

I've always had the idea of making a hud based around old style fighting video games like Street Fighter or Tekken with the health as a bar at the top of the screen and stuff, but never got around to tinkering with it

Exactly this, I'd rather free up screen space to shoot shit, not look at my HP in the middle of a fight. I 100% prefer the stock minimal hud to pretty much any other custom hud out there.

I want to see the game, and what I see of the HUD I want it to present info in a clear and pretty way. I want easy customization and continued support. I want scoreboards to have clear backgrounds and for the info to be away from the center. I like minmode to toggle scoreboards. I like charge bars centered between ammo and health. I like low-health, low-ammo, over heal, and full uber animations. I like HUD crosshairs so I don't have to import them. I like pretty and compact spectator HUDs.

minimal, clean and simple. nothing over the top or distracting. i used broesel/m0re for a long time but recently when i saw schocky's stream he was using what looks like a very nice edit of garm3n hud, reminds me so much of m0re/broesel so i just went for it. only slightly different in terms of font/placement but for me its perfect

RenhetOld KNHUD is probably the best example of how to do it right. Minimal, easily visible, nothing flashy.

Whoever needs lime green ammo and hot pink reserve ammo has bigger issues than their HUD.

The point of having different colored hud elements is to make them easily visible against the background of TF2. If you haven't noticed, white health or ammo elements are nearly invisible against the ground at process/gullywash middle.

not something that i would want to see in a hud, but i'd like to see for huds
the ultimate hud creator
you just choose what colors you want, where the ammo/damage/health/etc numbers are, what font to use, basically, customizable everything

all done through a simple GUI of some sort

It'd be cool if there was like 5 color stages for health and ammo

also if health and ammo font increased in size when buffed/hurt, but was smaller when neutral

I guess my ideal HUD wouldn't be very popular, but basically PV HUD with more of my team color in it somehow (maybe like HUDAS-style boxes framed in my color or something). HUDAS scoreboard w/ team fortress font (i cant stand non-tf fonts) without all the white. I've always wanted to see if a HUD that gives the health of engineer buildings is possible. In general the engineer HUD is fairly ugly and if I get bored sometime I might mess around with it.

I'm probably being unhelpful. I don't know anyone else who would use this. :3

i can see how people would like it, but it's far from something i'd ever bother trying. simplistic huds are the way to go.

to me, the font is the most important thing in a hud

if it has the TF default font, or a font that just doesn't look good to me (broeselhud, HUDAS, rays, most garm3ns) I won't be using it. The only hud I really like because of this is DeliHUD.

I have a theory that many HUDs are designed in a static context without consideration for how they fit into actual play. So they look stylish in screenshots but are overwrought when put into use. This leads to a tendency for impractical fonts and obstrusive elements.

All I want is a super tunnelvision hud, as simplistic as possible. Like this, only not complete shit.

I would love to have a hud where the current weapon equipped and current class are shown. Maybe put a weapon icon around the ammo and the class icon over the health. The number of times I haven't realized what weapon/class I use/am is staggering.
