One of the oddest parts of Dust's UI design is the on screen message system. You know, +50 kill, +40 armor repaired, +150 HMG Ammo, those messages. They're all in the same position, font and color, despite relating to entirely different things. It's probably confusing for newbies, and even I've been fooled once or twice into thinking I secured the kill when really I just got my armor repaired or something.
So my suggestion is to use different colored fonts to differentiate between the different messages. War points earned can stay blue, utility such as armor or ammo replenish messages can be yellow or orange, etc. Doesn't really matter what color as long as they're different. It'd be a relatively small fix, but it doesn't seem too difficult to implement, and would just be another step towards polishing the game.

Dude, stop kicking up dirt, there is nothing wrong with the system.

The colors need to be bright, like white, yellow, cyan blue...to be easily visible. But I don't have a problem with the current system.
I may not have a mic, but trust me, you NEED me in your squad if you want to win.
When I'm on a roll, I'm unstoppable.

Agreed. It's not a major change by any stretch of the imagination, but it would definitely help new players navigate the game systems a bit easier. As for font color, I'm partial to the orange in the upper left in merc quarters that lists the region you're in
