I would say these huds are better than what i've seen in other pics. Well the compass is the same. Hopefully resizable. I hope the chat hud can be made transperant.

I personaly like the old ones but I agree and hope that u'll be able to customize ur HUD.

hmm the new one is nice. I particularly like the mini-map better.

the only thing not transparent is the map at that pic

i think it looks very good but it would take some time
to get used to it, in operation flashpoint the hud
was so very clear, you couldn't be wrong... Also you could
hide some stuff or make it more little or bigger,
very nasty stuff, hope it's included

Actually thats not really what i mean. All of the huds still have boarders. Personally i would put the compass on the top right corner. The chat hud in the top left. And do away with all the boarders. Move the scrollbars in the chat hud to the left aswell. Notice also the chat hud, though transperant, still has a background. Same deal with whatever that hud in the bottom right is called. I don't need the crap, just the icons. The compass has some other type of indicators or it on the very top. So maybe leave that part in. Additional options would include. Being able to chang chat hud width and height. Compass resize .5x and 2x

Also the hud on my sig is a pop-up that is ingame. I don't want that thing right in the middle of my screen. I would move it to the top center and make the width resizable. Really all thats needed out of it is the progress bar. For that matter i woulda just built the indicator into the REK itself.

I'd move the health/shield/armor bars up top left. Chat box/action box to the lower left. Resize the bottom bar. Move compass to the right as well. And change that gay vehicle icon, its a sports car for christ's sake.

yeayea but when you would be in an airplane or something that flys, well you wont be seeing any text man! You really need somekind of 40% visible background, i guess that should do the trick, green or blue is pretty transparent so you could still see trough it enought to catch the dude coming to ya with his king-size gun!

Woah.... vehicles are a whole different story there. I perfer to fly in third person. Also if the default FOV is like 90. I prefer something around 110/115. Particularly for flying. But i have serious doubts that the FOV will be adjustable. There is a third person perspective and most likely a freelook. And hopefully a third-person-freelook. Also a very nice feature for flying. But one thing i personally have not witnessed is a screen taken from the cockpit of any flyer. So as to what hud will show while piloting. Thats yet to be seen.
