    This is one bug that I have noticed. For the kit Assassin the XP bar goes on and on (and for some players there's 3 XP bars). Also speed boosts and redstone does NOT regenerate unless a medic heals you.

    That is very hard to understand when you are in game and some people that I have talked too like the old CTF HUD than the new one.

    (Thanks Matt) I have also heard that people prefer the old way of where the wool would do that thingy instead of the banner. (you guys know what I'm talking about when I say thingy lol)

    Timer does not work. Just stays there and then goes to the next map.

    I'm pretty sure there is plenty of other things to rant about but I don't want to rant about them cuz I'm too lazy.

    How is it hard to "understand"? It's actually very intuitive to put the scores on the scoreboard. It will just take some getting used to.

    Why was this released? I know there was hype.. I know you had a lot of people complaining.. but really I don't consider the game playable in the current state even if there was no lag. There are some good ideas used (The scoreboard mainly) but it all seems half done.

    EDIT: Oh and also the subtitles (Steve has captured the flag across the whole screen) please add a way to just display in chat. Many servers got 1.8 hype and now it is a pain to walk/pvp with this huge font text right in front of you.

    The new HUD is more professional. It's time to get out of the past. You will eventually get used to the new HUD.

    It's distracting and illegible in-game. More professional? Definitely. Useful? No. We also really do need the name of the guy with the flag on the HUD. It makes life a lot easier for people trying to recov.

    I don't understand how people like the new HUD. It was a lot better with some things such as kills, deaths, captures, andrecovs were displayed in chat and The time, teams, games won were just on the scoreboard. No, this new HUD is not something people should get used too.

    I think the pop-ups should just stay in the chat, but that's as far as I can agree.

    Also /m doesn't work anymore. :frowning:

    Because:
    1. You don't have ANY idea which team your on
    2. It's hard to find how many kills you have when almost the whole GUI is white.
    3. It doesn't tell you who has the flag it just says "Taken".
    4. The timer is glitched
    5. It is annoying to you that a GUI Menu is on the right where there might be people coming and you can't see them instead of it being where it was at before where you could see everything.

    1. Look at the team you spawn with.
    2. Look at red, blue, and orange colors.
    3. Add to chat, "[Team] (Player) has the flag!"
    4. Easy fix.
    5. Turn your head and play more carefully. Please, no laziness.

    It needs improvement. I like it, but not on the sidebar because the size of that doesn't get adjusted with the chat bar.
    1. Fair, but we had chat messages that said "you are on (team)" before that were slightly helpful.
    2. Fair
    3. No. This NEEDS to be on the HUD. 100%. You need to know who to look for when recovering. You need to know who has what flag at a glance to support your team by healing or by recovering.
    4. Fair
    5. Actually, in CTF it's essential that you are able to see all the way around you. We have a few classes that deal one shot kills and those can sneak up on you fast. I'd prefer it on the bottom myself.

    There're these things in CTF called Ninjas, and there are also instakills. It doesn't matter how careful you may be, if something is in the way, you WILL die. It's a fact of the game.
    Edit: Ninja'd. See? You need to watch for them! xD

    According to those screenshots, the scoreboard is pretty small. It's not like it's taking up the entire right side of the screen.

    Fair. Very fair. It is still large enough to impede gameplay, however. For me, at least.

    Ok, you obviously haven't played CTF that much. In order to be "good" and have "skill" you need to look all around you and pay attention to what is going on. To you apparently you don't care about your surroundings and just look ahead of you instead of looking around you. Please don't say you look around after you just made your post.

    I dont mind the HUD change as much, it's more of a "We Don't Like Change" Argument besides those who had really tiny Scoreboard Sidebars. But I do have to admit the flags just look bad as Banners. I haven't played with banners yet but I don't think they're the best idea for CTF.

    The issues with the HUD is the lack of info on who has the flag and coords to a dropped flag, which i hope they can add to the chat.

    The scoreboard is pretty small on the right side of the screen. Might I advise you look at Tenshirox's post?
