I'll only accept showing who has certain equipment if we have a method of communicating with them outside of voice chat.


I.E: The Comma Rose from the Battlefield franchise. It's simple and easy, flicking the stick in the direction of what we need.

And for the love of god, don't give me some shoddy voice actor.... Just give me a generic computer/AI voice...

Might I suggest different color chevrons for different squadmates? I hate being in battle and having no idea who is who when im in the map.

@ KAGEHOSHI check post 15

Additional - I'll try to take a picture of the current HUD in DUST514 and make the necessary modifications (photoshop etc..) so it corresponds to your vision :).

Keep fighting the good man's fight. fav'd and sub'd. I'll be back later when my brain is working better.

I might have missed it but the biggest thing that bothers me is the placement of enemy information. I have to take my eyes off the action to see everything.

I agree with everything in the OP.

I like this for the compass.

Updated links with compass and squad list.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I'd like to see an indicator for orbitals that stays on my screen. There's been a few times I forgot I had one.

I propose a visible line be shown whenever a teammate ADS(aims down sight). This line would reflect where the teammate ADS is aiming and would only be visible to other teammates.

This would give non-squad leaders players a tool to communicate. It would also provide info that will help players avoid walking into friendly fire in PC.

Any devs care to share what you have planned for the HUD or what specifically is on the backlog?

is there any warning showing a vehicle has been locked by swarm launcher and another showing incoming swarm? The direction could be signaled on damage indicator. Along with the distance to the swarm... Maybe some tracking module for vehicles could add such option?

Why hasn't this thread been blue-tagged yet?
This is the most productive thread I've seen in months.

That's a terrible idea. Devs should never post.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, which of the ideas you guys have here would you say is the highest priority change?

There are a couple of other people joining as well, so we can get solid threads like this one going more often.

I just start cooking a grenade, look at it to work out what type it is, then put it back by switching weapons.

HUD still haven't improved :(

Being able to turn opacity on would help my tv setup a ton.

Instead of being able to see your squadmate's equipment and stuff at a glance, it'd be cool if (through the Neocom), you could see your squad's full fit. Maybe under the "Battle" tab, there's a "Squad Management" tab that allows you to look at your squadmate's skills and fits? I dunno. It'd help with planning synergies and stuff.

Of course, being able to see your squad's stuff at a glance is useful.
