Post-DLC HUD: Losing the D-Pad?

Post » Mon Jun 27, 2011 1:24 pm

http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/06/24/update-on-brink-dlc-title-updates-and-new-screenshots/ are showcasing a new HUD style. Obituaries have moved from the middle-right side of the screen to directly above the radar, and the D-pad Objective Wheel and active Abilities are now in a rectangular formation, with the Supply Pip Meter immediately above that.

Now, I see that the Objective Wheel/Abilities are hotkeyed to "MB3", and "3", "4", and "5": assuming that "MB" stands for "Mouse Button", then this HUD arrangement is specifically for PC.

PC gamers, has this always been the case for you? I can see how this would be an improvement for you folks over the console's circular D-Pad arrangement, so I have no issue with that for you.

But as an Xbox gamer, I personally like the original arrangement and I hope that doesn't change for the console. Does anybody know if that is the case or not? Sources are appreciated, but I am aware that the Brink team has been unusually tight-lipped recently so I'm not going to scream "LINKS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" if you don't provide any.

Thanks.

It's the PC's HUD. We will never get it.

And yes it's smexy we know.

But, our HUD will stay the same.
