I've been watching Ep2 videos nd reviews etc (who hasnt) nd I'm gettin slightly afraid of the newbielooking signs around the screen, such as the ammo, when u pick up just ammo in previous games it shows just shows the bullet/grenade icon, now it seems that it shows the weapon next to it. and other things such as saying ammo next to obvious places and a few other things which are beginning to get... annoying

Why would valve change a great game design and layout (as seen in hl2/ep1) to this newbie looking layout. say what u think...
 
You aren't at war with your player, it's nice to have things basic and for them to understand.
 
still, if the original was not enough how did all of us get to know these layouts which were quite frankly....perfect
 
Isn't that stuff just for the console versions?
 
it didnt look like it, cos he was playin the computer version on the preview
 
Not being a fan of change, I'd like it to stay the same as the original Mk5 suit.
 
I have no problem, as long as they don't dumb down any actual gameplay or story.
 
I didn't notice any changes in the Advisor video, which utilized the PC. The console version will have a different HUD system, but I don't care because I won't be playing it on console.

Besides, HL2 has always had little help messages pop up whenever something new must be done. This isn't breaking news, and I don't have a problem with it.

Its find i dont mind it.
 
I already started hating the big flashing suggestion to hit r and reload... This is just too much.
 
I shouldn't get angry at small changes like this, but I do. Valve need to find better playtesters, or maybe stop pressuring them into finding faults in the game when there are no obvious faults. I just hope you can turn it off in settings or something.
 
i am ok with 'change' but this isnt change this is sucking up to the new players, which we 'experienced' players dont need, nd has any1 even reaslised a major difference in the MK4-MK5 hazard suit...
 
Maybe this is because you can only carry a certain amount of weapons....??
 
who knows... all we know is that 'The MK5 Hazardous enviroment suit has been redesigned for comfort and utility...'
