It wasn't a car; it was a mirror attached to the head while the person is walking.
Yes, I see the confusion. Perhaps I should have stated it more clearly.

No, you didn't have to state anything because I wasn't even talking about whatever you are talking about.

My post was in response to Goz, not you.

Fully disagree with this. Your entire argument in this thread is weak because you assume the HUD you have in mind is the only HUD that exists or that will ever exist. Not only do I believe that the infomation will be used no matter how small they are presented (refer to Caveman's post), I also believe it won't stop there.

What makes you think people won't come up with different types of these HUD's? Let me tell you such a graphically advanced HUD already exists.

I know the HUD you have in mind but I have seen one of those other HUD's from a while ago with Nod and GDI building blocks with building picture icons with the green health meter. They stand out VERY prominently on the left and right sides of your screen. The player (and his eyes) won't miss a beat of the info just as they won't with the HUD you have been founding your argument upon.

Why do you keep doing that? You are avoiding my argument by interjecting something irrelevant.

I don't care about other HUDs. I'm not "failing to realize" other HUDs can be used as cheats. I simply don't care because I'm not talking about other HUDs! I'm talking about 1 HUD, the one I use, and the one everyone seems to have a problem with the release of an addon.

I don't care if it gets released and is then later modified by someone else to turn it into a cheat. How does that make me, or anyone else, who is using the original, legit version of it guilty? Just because some idiot decides to turn it into a cheat makes EVERYONE guilty?!

I will look for a SS of this HUD. I had seen it almost a year ago. If I can't find it, I will recreate the SS and post it here.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER HUDS! Only the HUD that I use AT THIS TIME. What does some other HUD have anything to do with my reasons for wanting the freedom to use HUD?

ALSO NOTE: I don't use the building bars, nor do I want them. If they were released, I wouldn't download them because I'm already accustomed to using K. What I would like, however, is what I mentioned in my compromise above.

Not only will this overcrowd your screen but it is quite unnecessary if there are no health bars present. If this compromise was implemented, tapping "K" would still remain the most reliable method.

The only benefit I can think of to this is obviously showing the status of your buildings right on screen but if it crowds the screen, then it is quite a waste. Even if it does not take up space this maybe just a fancy addition and it should not be made mandatory (download only).

Maybe this can be done though it is still a waste of time:


Why don't you learn to speak for yourself?

IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE A BENEFIT IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO WANT IT!

I think I've made it crystal clear in this thread that I currently feel as if the HUD I currently use puts me at a disadvantage than everyone else, and that is one of the two reasons why I like it.

The other reason why I like it is because it looks nice. I'm not using it to cheat, I'm not using it to gain an advantage. I'm using it because it looks nice and it makes the game more fun when I think I'm at a disadvantage from other people.

The Online/Offline feature I mentioned above doesn't have a clear benefit and does take up screen space. But it looks nice, and that's all that matters.


Let me clarify. I'm saying this out of my own desires. I couldn't give a crap about if some other random person wants to turn it into something you consider a cheat and use it themselves.

If someone wants to do that, I welcome them to do so. Because if by some off chance you are right and it does help their game, then I want to be the one to beat them when they are using it.
