Bugs Fixes, Polish...and a new HUD?

[Silvanoshi]

Listen up Soldiers!

We will soon be rolling out a new update, this update focuses on fixing some of those crafty bugs and putting polish on some features that already work. Now we know this update may sound pretty average but it is in fact far from it.

Also included in this update are changes to something you use every time you play, no matter what class, vehicle or weapon you use. The Heads Up Display... or HUD as most people call it. These changes stem from monitoring our player base and seeing how you use the HUD and what you are used to, and one of the biggest factors we noticed is that a lot of our players are also Bad Company 2 players.

From this we took elements from the Bad Company 2 HUD, among other things, taking into account the display size and placement to give you a clearer and more informative HUD to aid you while you are on the battlefield.

1. Your Soldier
   Your soldier information can now be seen in the top left corner sporting whatever gear you are wearing at the time. You will also notice your soldiers level/rank along with a progression bar displaying how close you are to leveling up.
2. Server Admin messages
   Server admin messages can be seen to the left center of the screen. These are messages that the server or server admin announces to people in the game.
3. Chat
   Game chat can be found to the lower left hand side above the minimap. This will display the chat from all players and also include team messages such as "Enemy spotted!" or "I need ammo!"
4. Minimap, Firebase Status and Tickets
   The Minimap, Firebase status and Tickets have been moved from the top right hand side of the screen to the bottom left hand side of the screen, where you would find it in Bad Company 2 to make the use of the HUD more familiar.
5. Equipment
   Your equipment is still found in the bottom center of the screen, however this has been slightly compressed and only displays the equipment slots in use, leaving out any empty slots for a cleaner and more efficient look.
6. Health and Ammo
   Health and Ammo are no longer separated to individual sides of the screen. You can now see your health and ammo status simply by glancing to the bottom right of the HUD allowing you to more efficiently assess your needs.
7. Kill Feed
   The kill feed is now displayed in the upper right corner of the HUD, this allows the kill feed to be displayed clearly away from the text posted by Admins and your own kills now show up in gold text. You don't want your frags go unnoticed after all.

Scoreboard
The scoreboard has been updated to do several things.
It now displays the class of all players in the game and with a transparent background you can keep any eye on your enemies while admiring your epic scores.

Killcam
The details of the killcam have been moved to the bottom of the screen as opposed to the top and like the scoreboard has transparent background.

I hope you fix the problem with some players. The problem is: you do not see the character screen, only see the "loading" screen. You can navigate with the TAB key and enter, but you can not play.
This is a big problem, because many people can't prove new weapons awards.

[Admiralty]

There is a typo for point 7, killfeed should be in the UPPER RIGHT not upper left as said in first post.

[Louter]

hehe the m4a1 was probably put in on purpose to get us curious

new HUD definitely looks nice!

[Red-Shot]
