What happened to the UI/UX designers at Treyarch? The recent game’s huds are awful. First image is the legacy hud showcased on the cod blog. The second image is my proposed changes to make the hud better. I do not have a graphic design degree. I made these changes in 20 mins.

    fucking surely this will change for launch.

    I also really don’t like the look of the large boxes around the ammo, gobblegums, and grenades. That, combined with the text font, just look like it came from a mobile game.

    Using the 3D models of the grenades also add to this look.

    Exactly what I said in one of my other comments. Gameplay does look fun but man the UI UX has been lacking for so long. This is just a cluttered mess wyh no identity either. Cold wars ui was the same

    The legacy hud isnt even bo3, its more like bo4 with the specialist, tactical, and ability slots from multiplayer and the multiple tailisman on the side of the screen

  5. Slight changes and it made it 10 times better than the original hud, idk how they thought that hud looked good especially after 4 years of development

  6. Former-Fisherman4849

    Why does this image look like from Cold War zombies looks copy cat I would say

  7. OffensiveKalm

    Wow, one dude on reddit did a better hud in 20 minutes than a whole team in 3 years.

    The HUD will be fully customisable, you can turn on/off what you want, locate stuff where you want etc

    What we have from the gameplay demo will be the HUD that this user wanted and does not represent what it will look like for everyone.

    Can’t wait to play the zombies if i don’t like it I’ll return the game back to GameStop for refund

    Your changes and notes are great.

    It’s actually so annoying that something like ui/ux has to be discussed after video games been prevalent for the past 15+ years. It should literally be a non issue

    If the hud looks this bad at launch I’m definitely just learning the buttons and then turning the entire hud off minus perks and ammo.

  12. AnimeGokuSolos

    Yeah, they need to improve this lmao 😂 wtf

  13. mightymob0303

    Wow your version looks so much better than whatever the fuck treyarch cooked up

  14. RichardHeado7

    Looks like they hired people who only have experience designing UIs for shitty mobile games.

  15. player one icon in the green circle isn’t even centered, it’s touching the top for some weird reason

  16. BaconJakin

    It’s fucking ridiculous how much better EVEN THIS is than both the presets they showed yesterday

  17. SpeakNowAndEnter

    Genuine question, did you miss the announcement that the HUD will be customizable with how much you want shown, potentially even how it’s laid out on your screen?

  18. talladega-night

    Yours looks so much better it’s not even close

  19. Accomplished-Curve-1

    Bro is really complaining that the perk icons are far apart and the lethels and tacticals are counted by numbers some those things is
    Just you being a big baby

    It really cracks me up that the early games like BO1, BO2, Etc., were better in almost every way when it comes to design, UI/UX, and usability. It boggles my mind that these games have THOUSANDS of devs and this is the result. Too many cooks in the kitchen I suppose.

  21. naga_h1_UAE

    This is literally shows you how out of touch they are, you don’t need any experience for the average player to understand that the hud looks soo awful and slight changes could make 10x better

  22. 60discpriest

    HUD just looks awful. Same crappy font from Cold War too.

  23. Hot-Ferret-8080

    what the hell do i need sprays for in zombies

  24. mintybadger23

    Jesus Christ this community is never fuckin happy

  25. Shaun_LaDee

    Isn’t the HUD completely customizable? This is just a preset, you should be able to change each individual element to your liking in game.

  26. RedactedGamertag

    Much Better! I would be fine with even making the perks background fully transparent. Also, the font for the round numbers are too bold and bright red. Seems campy like a mobile version. Wish it was darker and not as bold, similar to how it looked in Bo3. I do hope they change the HUD. They say it’s customizable, but this is just messy and ugly. I hope they change this among other things too.

  27. ItsShake4ndbake

    Im hopeful they will implement HUD changes and give a LOT of customization, they have to see this feedback with the amount of posts being made on here. These are simple changes, would be sad if they dont and we have to completely turn it all off

  28. Little_Insane_583

    Emotes and Sprays? Wtf?? This is zombies not fortnite!

  29. Far-Tale8013

    this is a everything i had an issue with too

  30. Far-Tale8013

    you didnt point this out but that stupid emote/spays menu gota go. i think the wheel they had in cold war was perfect

  31. Critical-Green-4365

    News flash: YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR HUD SO THERE IS NO USE IN COMPLAINING 💀

  32. ryanslasher

    Looks great, i just wish we had an actual stylized zombie hud

  33. SebbyWebbyDooda

    It looks bad but you are nit picking a bit xD
