  • Team Fortress 2 was released in 2007, and its user interface hasn't seen very many changes since then, the in-game HUD especially. A lot of people believe that the default HUD is now outdated and cluttered, prompting them to download a custom HUD and use that instead. There are a lot of HUDs out there, but which do you prefer?
    Put custom files here:

    I’ve played TF2 for nearly 8 years now and have always used the Stock HUD since it defines what the game is at its core, although I wish you could manually change the location and boarders of the Stock HUD to your liking since I don’t want to keep looking down at the corner of the screen every time I’m playing the game like when checking how much Uber I have or how much ammo I have left in my clip

    • @s6th795
      @s6th795 Před 6 lety +53

      If you're willing to put in the time to learn, you can make slight edits to the stock hud without having to build a new one from scratch.

    • @-alon3inhell792

    I like how you took the preferences of HUDs from different youtubers which represent a certain portion of players in the game. Traders, competitive, mains, etc. It's cool that you include each type of TF2 player's preferences. I also like that you respect people's choices for HUDs. Good video and good job!

    I use e.v.e HUD because of a few things. One thing I love is that is stays true to the stock while improving on the areas that need improving for me such as the health which i find very hard to see and the damage I am doing to my enemy. I love both of them being so clear and I overall just think the fine tune style looks great.

    I use HUDs that are very similar to the default HUD, alongside the default HUD itself. I tried using tf2hud+ (detailed version of default HUD), classichud (2007 version of default HUD), and idhud (improved version of default HUD), and I loved all of them!

  • @flipside2086
    @flipside2086 Před 4 lety

    I played with the stock hud for a while after giving the game another go, I switched Huds to an Overwatch Style Hud not long after. All the sizing and what have you were familiar so it has made Tf2 a far more enjoyable experience.

    I've been playing TF2 for about a week or so at the time I'm writing this, and I've been using BudHud mainly because of its crosshair. Budhud's crosshair is perfect for me because I can see it clearly in the background on any map and scenario, even tho I'd like to be able to change the yellow color of the crosshair to green.
    That's all, thanks for reading my comment, and I wish you a great day/noon/night

    A good thing to know is that you can implement custom materials onto your hud and bypass sv_pure.
    Basically the reply folder still to this day is ignored by sv_pure (both 1 and 2) making it the only place for you to spread your creativity.

  • @PassTheSnails
    @PassTheSnails Před 4 lety

    I use Tf2’s custom hud but I use the minimized version so it’s not so intrusive or bulky. I really like it and can’t see myself changing it, i’m just glad there’s a minimized hud feature in the first place.

  • @rcmero
    @rcmero Před 6 lety

    I personally use either ToonHUD or the Improved Default HUD, alternating between the two. I know Doomsday was joking on his segment, but I find the Overwatch HUD to be quite impressive since it provides a very good example of how flexive the custom HUD system of TF2 is, basically making the game look like an entirely different game. The only other example of this that I can think of is the Borderlands 2 HUD for PAYDAY 2.
    Also, I'm glad to know that people are actually using the Prinny Machete on the Spy. Always fun to backstab people with it.
