Tf2 Huds

[pockets 1,841]

Do you use them?

Which is your favorite?

Do you think they're unnecessary?

Do you really want to hurt me?

Do you really want to make me cry?

[I Karnt Speel 1,242]

The only addons I use are Recount and Movable Holy Power

I use Star's HUD. I don't really know of any others

[pockets 1,841]

Yeah, I just added the Garm3n HUD. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Willerms, you got a link to the HUD star uses?

[Barbaro 466]

I have enough crap downloaded from other sites, so I don't really look at customization on Source Games.

I use broesel hud. It's pretty simple. There are pictures of it in my screenshots. As with every hud, some people like it. . some people don't. I like it a lot, helps me focus on healing and the such. I am not to sure about its necessity. . .I don't think it is necessary, but it may help better your gameplay.

[Willerms 1,794]

I don't know the DL link but Awptimus sent it to me. The file name is KN+Garm3nHUD and it's the tanlight version.

I love Garm3n as medic - it puts all the information I need in a really easy-to-see central location, and shows me the numerical health of my healing target. Just easier to keep track of the numbers I need to keep track of.

[pockets 1,841]

Right. I need to track damage done when playing scout. Garm3n works pretty well for it thus far, but I'm not committed to it.

[+Cactus 4,948]

Garm3n is also good because it puts a big picture of the medic on my HUD to remind me that I am a medic and not a sentry gun.

[Zaythi 157]

I am generic, and am with CommunityTF2HUD, and Chris' highframes. They both work well, and gives me great FPS, clean screen, and easy to use/setup! Probably better out there, but I love it!

[Willerms 1,794]

Zaythi's also a terrible medic. he never 'hooks' me his sandwiches.

Are we the only one's who is just using a clean TF2 without any mods or huds??

[Willerms 1,794]

Well I do enjoy the generic aimbot

No, I don't use any. I wonder what Awptimus uses. I really like the look of his.

I don't customize any Source game or anything, period, only game I used mods was Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and that's because JKA SUCKED WILLMERS's butt.

Honestly, if the game continues to give free contents and such, there shouldn't need to be a reason for customization, at least, in my opinion. But again, that's just me, Vanilla Lover and Vanilla Ice Cream enthusiast.

Mmm....<3

i do some light modifications to my hud, but nothing major.

displays health as a number on target id just bottom right of health cross, made the damage indicators light blue because it looked nice and a couple of other things like the 32player scoreboard.

my friend and I are working on new class icons, potentially including personalised ones with hats because it'd be pretty cool tbf although I have little I genuinely want to change about the hud xD

[- Mike - 2,728]

No, I don't use any.

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

Aren't those options available in the Advanced menu or am I seeing things?

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

Noob.

[- Oli - 1,121]

ah are they? i played around with a few other things but liked the tf2 normal hud...

also looked at some huds made by other people but weren't too keen on them...

maybe you're right, but changing the icons for the classes? probs not

[Barbaro 466]

More than half can be edited by the game, the rest require a mod.

I do enjoy the part where it says Game Updates can break the custom huds, take that ya wankers!

Personally I don't find the vanilla one "clean", its very cluttered and takes up far too much on the screen. I use the Oxide HUD (http://ben.clnsky.com/tf2hud/), its very minimalistic, and took a while to get used to, but I now love it, I can see so much more of the screen, and all of the information I need is still there.

I would recommend to anyone using the vanilla HUD to look around for a custom one (or make your own), its so much nicer to play with one you really like and suits you. They are certainly not unnecessary. A few ideas are listed here: http://tf2strategy.com/?page_id=1316 Look at the first image on that page, see how much of the screen the default HUD can obscure?

I've had no such problems so far, and I'd say the benefits outweigh the (potential) annoyance of occasionally having to update the HUD as well.

I use FrankenHUD, It's actually a really good HUD in my opinion, better than default. (link)

I tried out oxide HUD but there was just one thing i did not like about it, it didn't tell me what team I was on so half the time I would be shooting at my teammates and walking past enemies. If it told me what team I was on i would always be using Oxide HUD.

The countdown clock at the top of the screen is team coloured.
