Full Screen HUD or Statusbar?


Recommended Posts

when playing with source ports, do you prefer a full screen HUD displaying your ammo, health and weapon sttistics, or the old school Statusbar, with doomguys angry mug staring back at you?

I usually use the HUD for source ports, except JHeretic and JHexen, when I use the statusbar.

Well I use ZDoom 99% of the time. I usually have hud scaled down as small as it'll go without being invisible. I don't want to look down there and see the Doomguy's face staring back at me, I just want to see my armor, health, and ammo.

I use a tiny HUD mainly, somehow the status bar prevents me from getting as involved in the game these days.

Always a status bar, though very occasionally I briefly switch to full screen (no HUD) if I need to see right to the top of the targetable area.

If using a port that has a scaleable status bar, I tend to make it fairly small.

Sometimes a HUD, sometimes the statusbar. Occasionally I just feel the need to see that classic statusbar again.

I used to always use status bar but since zdoom I'm converted to hud, and can't really stand anything but now.
