release @ weekend, still got few things to do and been busy with other stuffs lately, sorry guys.

I don’t understand the reasoning behind no HP cross. The cross is way better for at-a-glance recognition. With just a number, 51% HP and 100% HP look the same to your peripheral vision.

I totally agree, I don’t have to look at my HP number when there is a cross.

I have never had a problem with it. I can manage to see whats happening and see the numbers on the screen just fine. for me the hp cross is just annoying. but If it’s a problem to you I’d advise you just switch huds?

Err, I’ll explain this in a scientific nerdy way. :P
A mind translates colors faster than numbers, because it calculates how much the number affect your status (eg. playing demoman, 127HP, eye see that, mind calculates, you know its about 50 hp less) while a cross, which is simply a color amount doesn’t need calculation (eg. playing demoman, colors fills a few above the cross middle, you are about 3/4HP, I’M SAFE!).

So ye, its easier/faster/more comfortable to see a cross than a number, personally I think a cross for main hp reading and a number as peripheral vision is the best.

It nakes sense to me if you ride the numbers close to the xhair, add some color to them for buffed/low and you’re in business.

The whole point is that buffed/normal/low isn’t enough precision.
