Hi.

At the beginning of the two examples of the same indicators on hud/screen double.
Attached File  ScreenShot00004.jpg   165.16K   124 downloadsAttached File  ScreenShot00009.jpg   178.31K   125 downloads

Do you really, if someone is not blind or too distracted, must have it on the screen_

In addition, there are texts: you kill someone while defending, assistance, etc.

Even after turned off tips, i get obvious information. (upper left corner of the second picture).

I'm worried because achievement not yet implemented.

Here my suggestion. Let us select what we want to be displayed on the screen of the junk information.

INTEL i5-4670K * ASUS Z87-A * GOODRAM DDR3 2x4GB * GIGABYTE GTX 760 OC rev 2.0 * X-Fi XTREME MUSIC * GRADO SR-60

SAMSUNG EVO 120GB * OCZ STEALTHXSTREAM 2 600W * Win 7 64
@ defekt : Mobility is King and burst damage is Queen. Checkmate.

Whilst I respect your opinion I personally like the extras as the lower HUD is not only far away from view but is very hard to see in the middle of action.

I find the extra info very useful.

In your first example, the top-right fuel indicator only turns on when you're running low. If it were up to me, I'd like to have an entire fuel gauge showing there instead of at the bottom so I can keep my attention in the middle rather than the bottom of the screen.

I like the pop-up bits, myself: the "christmas tree" that you complain about only draws attention better. If it's obvious to you, that's wonderful. Personally, I figure that it ought to be configurable. Configuration is key, in my opinion. I like it, you don't. Add a little HUD setup bit in the options menu and we both get to be happy.

Ok, but is to much staff in screen now. I only want options to select what appears on my screen, not off completely.

Configuration is key indeed, if only every game had many options. (not saying that Hawken is bad!)

In Tribes Ascend you can enable or disable each element Hud, exactly what I wanted in Hawken.

Hud in Hawken is ok, but  to much staff is pushed in the center of vision.

I feel it's fine. And that's why config is glorious!

I like it cluttery and more like a old computer's blinkenlight panel. You clearly like something cleaner. Add config and everyone is happy.

I quite like contextual information popping up on the HUD, be it repeated from the cockpit displays or not; that's the way HUD design in modern fighter aircraft has been working for years.  In fact, I'd like more contextual info to pop up on the HUD.  For example, I'd like the ability time remaining thing back on the HUD.
