New HUD will arrive - we got all details!

EA will introduce a new HUD system for Battlefield Play4Free. It will probably be introduced in a patch announced for tomorrow, 8:30 UTC. You will be able to play during this time.

However, the new design looks more like BC2. First of all, we got a screen for you.


Now we analyze what you can see here:

Number 1: This is still your character face. You can see the clothing of your char here. At the left, we got a new level up bar. It grows now as it should and there is a rank sign above, so you can always know what your actual rank looks like. There is still a number showing your level.

Number 2: That's the server admin chat box. All messages sent by server admins will be shown here. There hasn't been a change regarding the position of this box, but the text is green instead of the old orange color.

Number 3: This is the regular chatbox. No changes so far.

Number 4: Here you got the mini map. This very important tool has been moved from the right upper to the left lower corner. The map itself has some minor graphical improvements, as example your character is yellow now.

Number 5: This is your inventory. It is way more compact as all empty fields are not shown.

Number 6: This is your health and ammo count. It's design has changed and fits better to the new main menu style, however, there haven't been changes regarding it's functions or position.

Number 7: This is the kill list. There are no optical changes here, but it was moved from the left upper corner to the right upper corner. 

That's it. The HUD looks better organized now and you are able to see more stuff from your environment. A final review will arrive as soon as the HUD has been included to the game.

  1. looks like a pointless rearrange by a bored staffer looking for something to do- i see very little actual development, its like someone stuck a stirring stick in the screen and gave it a twiddle
