Hunt Showdown's NEW UI is Literally Just Call of Duty - Huuge

Crytek finally unveiled their redesigned UI for Hunt Showdown, and... well, let's just say it's not what we were hoping for. It's like they took a page right out of the Call of Duty playbook, and it's leaving a lot of us scratching our heads.
In this video, I'm diving deep into the new UI, breaking down the similarities to Call of Duty, and exploring what makes it feel so uninspired. I'll also be discussing what Crytek could have done to create a UI that truly enhances the Hunt Showdown experience.

Hunt Showdown's NEW UI is Literally Just Call of Duty

[@Huuge]

What do YOU think of the new UI? I read ALL comments 👀 Don't forget to watch LIVE at www.twitch.tv/huuge

[@DakkerGamingDe]

The Funny think is 16:28 why there is a button "Play Aginst (trio)" And a Button for team size? Did that mean that i can say okay i just wanna play agsinst 3er teams? not like no mixing solo duos and trio in trio matches? that would be nice. Yea and i think MMR would not come back. Its invibile again like 6 years ago.

[@BritishXXXAnarchy7]

Did you notice that the MMR stars are gone ?

[@Thade_87]

I hope the relaunching of Hunt Showdown will bring new players to console. U.I. changes might make more streamlined for new players. After 4K hours playing Hunt on Xbox I just got use to how things were but I guess change can be good.

[@ReiSpitz]

what do i think? I think your videos keep coming up in my recommended but i cannot stand you and your hypocrisy. You say that people should stay in their country assignments and we are ping abusers. Have you ever tried playing on OCE? Yeah not much fun playingon empty servers with 5min random partner wait times, with 150ping is it?

[@Huuge]

No one is playing on OCE because they're all on US West because "oce dead". If everyone in OCE played on the OCE servers there would be more people for you to play against. Fact.

[@nicholashufnagle9735]

As a console player I can say that they fucked it all up. I would much rather have my cursor back. This UI is terribly confusing.

[@iSammie2]

FACTS that’s what I said when I came back 😂😂😂 I was like wtf. Sometimes I have trouble where I’m at on the menu .

[@angeltower9]

THANK YOU! This is exactly what i said when i first saw the changes. They're talking about making the UI less confusing, but the COD menus nowadays are absolutely horrific and not intuitive.

[@luxnoria]

It to me looks like a less messy COD Menu, I'll save my judgement for when we get to actually try it.

PC version of the UI needs work. Needs to be smaller and sleek. We're viewing from a monitor, not a television.

[@theliquorpriest]

Primarily focusing on controller support was a bit out of touch lol

[@luxnoria]

I only see it as a mild annoyance, I can't imagine it would at all be bad to use with K&M, and if it's not bad when we get to use it then I say it was a good choice. As it won't really impact pc and will instead improve console experience. (We won't really know until we get hands on with it.)

[@dissidia8876fights]

@@luxnoria What they have shown already has more clicks for common actions on M+KB than it is right now. So it may be better for console for PC there are only 3 good changes, the favorite button, ability to see 39 legendary hunters at once and same grid view with perks. They did add a whole standalone bloodbond packs tab in the home tab even though they have the plus near the BB count.

[@umbles7007]

Do we have data on where the players are? I know we can see steam numbers for players, but how many active console players are there?

[@luxnoria]

@@dissidia8876fights I never said it was perfect, hence why I called it a mild annoyance. But god forbid the pc master race has to suffer an extra click or two to make the experience better for non-pc users. This just comes off as pointless whining for me and I play on pc as well. A month after the UI change no one will be complaining about it, ya'll just need something to whine about.

[@gregajohnson1985]

if they don't make drag and drop swapping on consumables and tools, im gonna be pissed. that's all i was asking for. im sick of having to "discard this item" if i want to use 1-4 to select my items, instead of fumble with my mouse scroll wheel.

[@Huuge]

That was the very first thing I noticed back in the day when I started playing hunt. No drag and drop

You see, this dev studio shows their hand with every blog post. They have ALL this data and yet they cant catch cheaters on their own. Even went as far to basically rip out all the actual anti-cheat measures and left a bare bones layer in the game.

[@unpaintedarmy]

Notice how the things they're removing gave you blood bonds. (Trials, black market, progression books) Now they're selling non legendary hunters for bbs, just another step on the slippery slope.

[@theheavymetalhillbilly7152]

I thought it was also odd he stated one of the reason they were removing trials was because they had tracked data where people had told them he reason they quit playing Hunt was because of the trials. I was like huh? People gave you that as their reason for quitting the game? If that are what people are prioritizing for quitting the game over other things the devs have done with the game...I really question people's judgement and standards lol

[@dissidia8876fights]

They also have a page for BB packs on home tab. So that you can always remember you can buy BBs

[@TheRageaholic]

The weird thing about naming the Uppermat the Haymaker is that the Uppercut isn't actually named after a punch. (Perhaps the original launch devs have moved on, or forgot?) It's named after the bronze ring around the end of the cylinder, which allows the gun to accommodate Long Ammo. The gunsmith _cuts_ into the _upper_ part of the cylinder and adds that bronze ring at the end to allow it to chamber longer rounds. Hence "Uppercut". Not that Uppermat wasn't an utterly retarded name, mind you.

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

This update is concerning. A lot of these changes make me think Feifield is doing a copypaste job of CoD into Hunt, and Hunt was already starting to move away from its origins.

[@troll5262]

@@Lieutenant_Dude It's been happening since he got hired 2 years ago or so. Since then pretty much every update and change have been moving away from what Hunt originally was to something generic.

[@LundinSebastian]

This is something you learned in a fever dream buddy.

[@Mrdestiny17]

What's funny is when the Uppermat first came out the devs were so defensive about the name and said they wouldnt change it lmfao. Haymaker was a fan suggestion for the name on reddit and then a portion of the community just called it the Haymaker. Ignoring some fan feedback is appropriate but it feels like every update Crytek adds something that only a tiny amount of people want. I'm sure it's the new management dragging their heels internally because they're mad the public didn't like their new ideas

[@CodexF0X]

This video aged like fine wine! We all saw it coming.

It absolutely kills me to see them put in a fighter game style character select screen in place of the hunters screen. You can call me schizophrenic, but I’ve been saying for a long time now that hunt is beginning to lose its identity. So far we have only been climbing up the ladder, but with this ui update I think we have just reached the top of the slide.

very valid point because there’s far more people on console than PC nowadays that hunt is kinda small

[@ImJCyo]

"Sharing your opinion even if its negative isn't a bad thing. That doesn't mean you're a hater." YES. Thank you! There's a massive difference between sharing your negative opinion and being vitriolic, and that guy's comment (and yours) are objectively the best way to go about it. As to the UI update, it's that CoD Hulu stuff I don't care for. When I played MW3 some time ago, I had to stop because the menus were so damn bad. I do not see a reason for them to focus this much on console players when they don't make up the bulk of the playerbase. At least give us an option to use a not-CoD UI.

[@tuxxy1682]

Changing the main menu + getting rid of the book section and challenges is considerably awful imo. But am glad that they're finally fixing up the legendary hunter screen + adding favorites; Scrolling through the legendary roster becomes more of a punishment the more skins are owned.

[@Steinmur]

Now finally 10 days later it's a disaster.

[@tuxxy1682]

@@Steinmur why did they make grid view a goobing submenu 😭

[@bigus]

the really old hunt ui was so much better than the current one in my opinion....it was much simpler....its too back they cant just add the quality of life things and quit changing everything for controllers on the PC version.....this current crappy ui was supposed to help controllers but it just got way more complicated with all the tabs and widows imo

[@silver2k433]

i feel like the best way to summarise the ui change IMO is that they havent actually done anything really, YES they have changed but they havent made it any less confusing, after some time yes it might get better when you get used to it but the way i look at it is that its like a fridge the fridge we had was owercrowded with uneccesary stuff like bread, pasta, and moldy shoes ect, and instead of removing those and slightly streamlining the thing we are used to, they rearanged the ENTIRE FRIDGE and put less effort into the actual streamlining part, so now we have to get used to another ui which couldve felt 10x better

[@BrenoAmado]

Netflixzation of the UI.. ok.. if it is easier to use i'm ok with it.. let's see when they implement it.

[@Dee4Dy]

the hunter recruitment screen is totally clean and easy to use. Yo will need to look for between 141 Tekken characters, 120 of them are showing up but you did't buy them. Nailed

[@kobi399]

Whoever is in charge of UI/UX needs to be fired. In the beta 1.0 release you launched the game, clicked on roster, selected everything from one window, traits guns equipment everything, and then you pressed the red play button on the bottom right (in the same window still) to queue. In the current UI you have to go through 5 sub menus just to equip you primary, and looks like the new UI is gone be even more convoluted. If you told me back in 2015 that the UI is only gonna get worse throughout the years i would have called you crazy, yet here we are.

If the entire UI layout change was for console only it wouldnt bother me, but its not. So ... ew. Some of the changes I can understand, but like .... 80% of the changes just seem to make it more complicated then it was before.

[@Rekettyelovag]

This reminds me of what happened to Blacklight Retribution 10 years ago. They had a good game, but they started patching it, preparing for a unified console-PC thingy. After the "parity patch" the whole game's UI looked like shit, the gunplay went full console and people slowly left the game, what lead to the closure of PC servers.

[@WhiteSharks-wz6kn]

5:40 This is just wrong no? In the Training mode, the old one it was always Butcher, but where he spawned was random. Also in the current tutorial It's Butcher + Spider. Oh nevermind, I think before I started with Hunt it was a Spider and then I think they changed it to Butcher, you are right.

[@StallionTG]

the gaming industry is just allergic to hiring a UI/UX person for some reason.

[@SynystarYT]

Dude I was sayin the same thing. The game has been become more and more like COD since special ammo. Hunt used to be a totally diverse game and now it’s cutting itself short to be like other popular games. Wack.

[@filiplmao]

I love how confident he sounds when he says "reducing the number of clicks/button pushes needed to get where you want to go" :D

in console we already use the d-pad and shoulder buttons for everything, the cursor is only for the things on top of the screen like slot or ammo sice, game options, server and blood offer and the animation for the blood offer is censored the hunter dont cut his hand, the only thing i see as a real improvement is the option to favorite quirks and legendary hunters

[@D3NIAL_DEN14L]

Exactly what everyone else is saying... I remember when mw2 (the new one) came out and people were saying how it looked like hulu menu and didnt like it, then I saw the new hunt U.I and my first thought was "this looks just like netflix or hulu"...

Damn that sucks about the progress books. I'm fairly new to Hunt but I'm almost 5th prestige and I didn't even know about them till a few days ago. Started ticking them all off and was enjoying getting progress but that's alright, I'm mostly there for the tense gunfights. Might just be me but the UI looks a lot more information dense. I do like the perk page changes but everything else is kinda meh :(

[@breelik7783]

my friends laughed at me when I said hunt showdown was going to be ruined. The signs were there for a while. Seems they are finally beginning the end.

[@mexon156]

Crytek is putting everything on the edge with a new user interface. What if the game and its relaunch in general fail on consoles? PC hunters, the main audience, will live with this UI until the end. Of course, there will be a typical Crytek moment and abandonment of everything, as with the OG and 1.0 interface. The cycle repeats itself lol

[@RedStaryPuu]

Cant be worse than what we have, have not played a CoD game in near 20 years anyway so it will be new to me anyway.

[@CringeConsultant]

[@SavagePlaysNice]

This UI is atrocious.

[@yzbrian]

This might end up as a bit of a rant but I just wanted to get it off my chest. I see a lot of people (including your chat and on Reddit) hating on the changes Crytek made on the UI. And I don't understand why. Obviously most of the screens are way more clear than before. The trait screen is a major improvement because I don't have to scroll so long anymore and so is the hunter recruitment screen where I can now see most hunters on my screen at once. I see people calling it messy or overcrowded, but how else do you want to present 100+ items to the player? I think the grid view is sleek and clear and allows me to quickly find what I am looking for. Recreating the entirety of the UI of a game costs a lot of time and returns no money whatsoever, it shows that they care about the comfort and experience of the players. They could have instead made more skins and more money grab items but they chose to show the love for their product instead. I think, instead of hating on the UI and making jokes about how 'bad' it is. We should instead at least wait for the update to come out and experience it ourselves. I for one like to thank Crytek for the effort they put into making the new UI, so far I think it's a major improvement, although perhaps not perfect. I agree with the developers that the old UI was in fact outdated and I deeply appreciate their effort into making Hunt a better experience. Much Love a big fan

[@subnighterhawk1535]

Newer is not always better. The UI is basically being designed specifically with console players in mind and will, as a result, probably be clunkier for keyboard and mouse. Trying to navigate cod menus has actually made me stop playing some of their games. We will see though.

[@etwasmerkwurdig]

i have spontaniously decided that i NEED an ingame hunter skin from that grey beard dude.

[@jade8245]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I think they are pretty clear and open that they want to increase and expand their console player base... Logical move to make the console UI more user friendly and maintain 1 UI across all platforms including PC. We'll see how it feels when its out!

[@RadioactiveLobster]

I will obviously hold full judgement until I actually use the UI but overall I get what they are going for. I don't care if they carbon copy some other games/services layout if it works better, is easier and faster to use and still has all the necessary info that players need. The is a reason why a lot of services/games use UI's that look very similar, they seem to work. This UI does have some issues but I think it's nothing that cannot be fixed in time.

[@makkura9245]

The more of the UI they were showing, the less intuitive and more confusing it got. Maybe it’ll feel good, but the current UI is mostly fine and intuitive.. I can do just about anything from my Roster screen.

[@AlopexArctos]

You cannot make something less complicated unless you remove options. All the complexity is still there. We just have a new interface to get used to. Different issues will surface immediately.

[@BayCyst]

I agree it looks like there's so much more information and menus everywhere compared to before.

[@MrMozkoZrout]

[@idk8964]

[@callofgeorge]

what we asked for - mainly things to speed up menu time to get us in games faster.. simplified menu's, preset health bars so we don't have to waste time respec'n the same bars every hunter purchase.. remove bug that won't let you remove a trait if it's filtered out. fix the issue where if you missclick the button to remove trait it takes you back to the lobby where the "remove trait" button is now the "dismiss hunter" button.. the ability to favorite traits.. or better yet, a way to set customized trait loadouts. have a list that it runs like a script. if you can't afford 1 of them, it skips to the next and runs down the list until reaching the end. simple quality of life changes. what we got - call of duty 2.0... a flow chart of clicks to get to things now.. over complication where it wasn't needed.. more hunters/skins (because we def needed those. currently at over 100 lego hunters).. pretty graphics that were unnecessary in a menu.

[@modernoverman]

As a console player, I am happy about this.

It's a nice feeling to see the game burning due to problems caused by a dev who, instead of fixing the game, recreates the UI lobby. We are going in the right direction

[@sinsix1361]

Personally, I don't care what it looks like aesthetically. It just needs to work. If it functions, fine. I didn't really have an issue with the current UI, but I am not on a console. So, if it makes things better for them and it still functions, go for it. I see some elements that could be improvements and some that could be questionable. I will remain hopeful and reserve judgement until I have had time to run it through its paces.

[@jimjimjim362]

Only thing that I hate is them getting rid of trials! I use it constantly to explore and learn the map. I get most people dont use it, but for me this is a MASSIVE let down!

[@kingjames2372]

Nah I'm glad I quit the game. I hate how they're trying to to sell you this UI update like it's the next hot shit. This was probably programmed by one employee during their lunch break.

[@Glebv23]

All they had to do was just make the original UI drag and drop. I mean Christ that's what it looks like you should be able to do. It'd be easier for new people coming in.

[@tomramecin6995]

5:59 I completed all the trials and that's about the extent of my accomplishments in Hunt Showdown

[@Torencresent]

It seems fine. Better than the old one overall, but that wasnt hard to do

[@lockofmetal8894]

2:43 I don't know exactly why, but this menu navigation reminds me of Assassin Creed games or Ubisoft games in general when navigating to different game modes. Hell R6 siege comes to mind aswell. Just me ?

[@Er0Xan]

I don't think that's a bad thing, as long as they don't make it as complicated and convoluted as CoD itself

[@ToBlathe]

The UI change is just looks. It’s the same thing different look..

[@Huuge]

Yes

[@wishiwascooler]

Regarding the hunter recruitment changes: it seems like they are just recycling some of the rarer random skins to make money on bloodbonds. I hope that's not accurate, but it does seem lazy. I know that a lot of people, myself included have talked about some of those skins being very cool and would have wanted to be able to use them in some way (hunter customization perhaps?) but this seems kinda strange.

[@ZuKuPLayer]

Removing trails completely was a dumb move imo. I've completed them all and there are lots of cool nits and bits about how to use weapons and tools correctly. Also they show you around compounds so you can learn their layouts. Very helpful for someone playing the game raw but whatever. I guess upgraded training mission will suffice.

[@ThreshtheWeebWarden]

i like the way it looks, it doesn't really bother me that the design choices factored in a little more for the console people. i care more whether or not the UI would be intuitive and not like MW2 which is practically a 1 to 1 recreation of the new UI. if they make you sit through menu animations and navigating multiple pop ups and mini menus to do one action, then it's fucked just like MW2

[@dannosaurusrex7063]

UI could of been updated instead of revamped if you asked me, all it needed was a few touch ups 🤷‍♂️

[@owl_uwu1297]

Idgaf personally, it looks fine visually to me, I'm concerned about potential ease of use issues for PC, but I don't have my hands on it so I can't be sure. Regardless, I don't expect anything to release in a perfect state in ANY live service title, quick iterations and improvements is what will count for me, should there be any actual impactful issues. One actual issue I can see at the moment is free hunter loadouts not being previewed all at once. Overall imo, some LARGE improvements, with some potential steps back in a place or two. I personally am sad to see trials go though, they helped me improve alot when I was starting out and I enjoyed the problem solving some of them incentivized, nowadays I still use them to warm up and practice my aim with moving targets, which is what I will miss most, seeing as they've stated there are no plans for moving targets in shooting range.

[@captainimmortal1]

i feel like its good for console but this change removes the charm of the game (like the books), and what made it a little unique. i feel like the whole stats thing and different filters for searching is fine but i feel like that the ui should stay the mostly same for pc.

[@maome5113]

Exactly, hunt is losing its identity

[@maome5113]

I like the menu we have already, I like the big traits (because I like the splash arts), I HATE the weapons roster and the new one is way better, but the rest? Pure trash, the hunters new menu is terrible man, you see a lot of hunters miniatures and when you click them, no hunter entrance animation

[@miroyang94]

We let you see more traits on screen without scrolling (good) but guess what? Now you're allowed to see cca 4 hunters on one screen in roster menu (but why?) so keep scrolling if you have big roster, please I'd like to understand o.O (no hate just confusion)

[@MR-TYLENOLJONES]

Tbh its much better than what it currently has going. But the bright side is that you dont have to shuffle thru 20 cod games to get the one you want to play. Edit console player. Cant stand the menus guess unpopular opinion lol

[@dissidia8876fights]

For console thats the common opinion.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

Baking trial skins into other mechanics is kind of a spit in the face to people who did all the trials. They way they did hunters and traits is really good. Having to scroll through legendary hunters to find the ones you liked sucked ass.

[@rimmer21]

I haven't played any of the CoD's. Nevertheless, I am aware that this is one of the most popular game franchises in the world. People who take the new UI with hostility because it looks like CoD, can they finally explain why this is bad? Calmly, in a nutshell and without spraying poison?

[@baronvongreenback]

Its seen as part of the slow and inevitable dumbing down of the game, Hunt has a reputation as a tough as nails, unforgiving and punishing fps, to attract more players, crytek has been making incremental changes here and there that seem to be pushing the game towards a more casual crowd. As I say its kind of inevitable as crytek want more people playing Hunt and ultimately spending more money in it, its just sad to see it happen in real time I guess and I think its why people are eyeing any change with caution and hostility. Hopefully Hunt doesn't lose its core identity too much (I don't think it will) but if they add pc controller aim assist, im out lol

[@Huuge]

Hunts identity has long been gone.

This isn't just the UI. This sets some really awful presidents for the future of the game.

[@MrCaw77]

Oh god its like Hulu and Netflix UI lol literally the new cod based their UI off of streaming services

[@jaybberwocky]

So... at 1.0 they made the UI overly complicated, didn't bother taking the time to make it better in the literal YEARS they had to do so, kept adding more content to have more tabs and pages for.... and NOW they want to simplify it again? Do you need to go lie down, Crytek?

[@tobimathi2941]

It's VERY painful and confusing to use and gets me mad all the time. Pretty confident that I've never seen a worse UI in the last 30 years of playing games 😛

[@MrNoireclipse]

I keep telling people that they're making it into Cowboy Call of Duty but nobody wants to listen.. The dumb central caches in the last event were literally just air drops and they keep trying to make this game faster and faster. Let Hunt go back to how it was!

[@troll5262]

Been saying it for a long time too but no one wants to hear it. More often than not I get hate for saying it at all no matter how I phrase it or what tone I try to use. Very painful seeing a game I love just slowly rot away.

i kind of come and go on Hunt then some periods ill play constantly for a few months just depending on my mood. I honestly thought quests where coming soon for a while now LMAO

[@josephcarter1936]

I'm a console player and I've had no problem with the UI and I really don't like the way the new one looks

[@dakotabarrett5585]

They've likely hit a cap in their growth regarding pc players, if they want to keep getting bigger, they need a console relaunch and to push that. Probably with crossplay. It's a good business move. Is it not so great for pc? Yeah. Is it likely going to have major oversights of features we currently have, also yeah. But it's a good move. I just wish they weren't so slow. They should be able to push out changes every couple months, not once every few years.
