The UI is still a mess
As the title says the UI still needs lots of work. For example THIS looks like a health indicator while the actual HP is barely noticeable. And just overall it is still a stepdown from anything ...

@CyberDyme I am sorry, but I must not have experienced what you did in the Open Beta… UI was always clear and sharp for me.
Not sure what to offer now…

Btw @carsono311 ,
If you care to share: Was you on PC or on console for the beta?
I was myself solely on PS5 the first days.
And had a shocking poor experience.
And then the last day I tried on a friend's PC and here it was still not great, but absolutely much much better!
Game fluidity, hit registration, vehicle movements, etc.
All certainly aiding to the PC players probably gave a much more positive feedback than what some of us on console experienced.
Now for the UI, several very poor design decisions were left in there. (we talk about the soldier infomatics, like ammo, health, weapon/vehicle data...)
Aka the color choice of some of the frames/numbers/graphics. And that there was no proper background contrast color. Next to the dimensions of many of the elements were just clunky and clumsy, while the screen resolution and color scheme would allow it to have been much much better in contrast and clarity. But think that was no matter which platform we played on. But screen flickering and vehicle/enemy teletransportations nonstop on the screen probably did not improve the mood of the console player in that mess. 😀
@CyberDymeI am a PC player and I am also fortunate to have a robust computer to play the game on as well.
So you are likely correct that certain issues were more pronounced on console vice PC… I am sorry for that.
I am not saying the UI is perfect by any means, just that I like the general look and feel so farAs a long time PC gamer, 3 things always tell when your fav PC franchise has been "consolized". (IMO)
1. No server browser.
2. Usually larger/clunky GUI (the so called scoreboard in the beta, if you recall it, looked like an Xbox game from 2011)
3. More focus on making things simpler. Maybe in this case, guns have less recoil? I noticed that I played a lot better in 2049 then in BF V.
To be honest, im so tired of yapping about this game. Nothing we'll say right now will change. The game is done (Since there are physical copies made, the game has to get manufactured). I just wish we would get some kind of dialog going with Dice. Dont they have a community manager? I haven't seen him answer a single question. Only post a link to that blog.
But in the end, my biggest concerns are far more important than the GUi: Lack of scoreboard and that tons of same looking clones will be roaming the maps.
Sigh
- @carsono311 It wasn't that bad, far from perfect but not what I would consider a 'shockingly bad experience'.
