I’ve played TF2 for nearly 8 years now and have always used the Stock HUD since it defines what the game is at its core, although I wish you could manually change the location and boarders of the Stock HUD to your liking since I don’t want to keep looking down at the corner of the screen every time I’m playing the game like when checking how much Uber I have or how much ammo I have left in my clip

[@s6th795]

If you're willing to put in the time to learn, you can make slight edits to the stock hud without having to build a new one from scratch.

[@-alon3inhell792]

Stock HUD is extremely nauseating to look at imo

[@Moneybwoy101]

then just download the improved default hud

[@Jpzarde]

Fantastic video! Personally I always make sure to play with your version of toonhud and tf2 essentials, I used to use the default hud for the longest time. The game is a whole lot better when all of these features and intricacies are made more apparent, thanks for all of your work!

I agree with after breakfast ive never had a problem with default hud or thought that i need a new hud

[@jesusofdespacito]

I like how you took the preferences of HUDs from different youtubers which represent a certain portion of players in the game. Traders, competitive, mains, etc. It's cool that you include each type of TF2 player's preferences. I also like that you respect people's choices for HUDs. Good video and good job!

[@TheeZackMichael]

BudHud looks cool because I like it's modernity and it looks neat and properly balances the simple hud like ToonHud and the default hud.

[@PogaltaEditz]

I use e.v.e HUD because of a few things. One thing I love is that is stays true to the stock while improving on the areas that need improving for me such as the health which i find very hard to see and the damage I am doing to my enemy. I love both of them being so clear and I overall just think the fine tune style looks great.

[@crazeddesk]

I love how in ever clip the hud had something changed.

[@AliensComeback]

I use HUDs that are very similar to the default HUD, alongside the default HUD itself. I tried using tf2hud+ (detailed version of default HUD), classichud (2007 version of default HUD), and idhud (improved version of default HUD), and I loved all of them!

[@DashFlashTheLife]

0:14 I regret pausing here.

[@FoxyAndFriends1]

Was not expecting Teenage Satellites at the end of this. An excellent way to tie together an amazing video. Perfection...

I just started using Hamji's theme for ToonHUD. I'm planning on making my own ToonHUD theme. Thanks for the help, because I always thought that custom HUDs were more of a cosmetic thing.

[@Engiman]

1:17 This is the ideal menu screen. You may not like it, but thats what peak performance looks like!

[@turdmanmcquack459]

For me its always been DiNhud something about the color scheme and how the numbers pop out give is sort of a retro type feel not to mention the "rage quit" button which directly quits the game no matter what, i just really love it.

[@dinonuggiesguy4847]

Link?

[@austinhobbesandjustin]

We need to make the health numbers on allies bigger. I sometimes main medic, and if I don't have the time to look at the tiny numbers, I base my priorities on the health symbol

[@ZoofyZoof]

For most of my TF2 career, I've used the default hud. I never had and problems with it, like the breakfast guy said. Only a couple months ago I moved to ToonHUD, and I like it because it's very customizeable. I used the TF2 default hud for so long because I don't like information being closer to the center of the screen. It's distracting.

[@amplif13d91]

1:17 I fucking need that.

I have 2 Questions: 1: Can you get vac banned from using HUD's (im pannicly scared of vac ban since im playing this game for approx. 4 years) 2: Whats the HUD from 4:38 becouse i think i cant find it on huds tf

[@DavidLopez-up3qm]

1. You can't be banned for using custom HUDs. 2. The HUD being showcased in that segment of the video is Eve HUD. Hope this helps.

[@nya6659]

all the art of your sona is so adorable

[@demonizedlife2640]

I love how each of the TF2ber sections were edited by themselves.

[@jockeyfield1954]

i use a modified version of toonhud, i always liked the way toonhud looked but i wanted my own personal touch to it, so i pushed all the info towards the center of the screen, made my character avatar bigger, added a team color down at the bottom, and a few more little things here and there before i had my own hud

[@flipside2086]

I played with the stock hud for a while after giving the game another go, I switched Huds to an Overwatch Style Hud not long after. All the sizing and what have you were familiar so it has made Tf2 a far more enjoyable experience.

[@Thomas-md4cd]

wiethoofd is dutch ( weedhead )

[@TaticalDuD]

I started playing TF2 recently and this helps so much, I just wish I started played TF2 earlier than I did now

[@uisce_]

This is like the whole thing tf2 community leaders together. YAY! Thx a lot

[@2saph2lose28]

I remember that, when I didn't know people were even using custom HUDs to begin with, I thought they were just playing different versions of the game, and that some versions of tf2 had different HUDs or whatever.

[@alesta2212]

I Just use the minimalized normal HUD, because the normal is a bit big, so minimalized is less messy i think.

[@jUppers]

the first 16 seconds is basically how overwatch designed their hud 2 decades later and still don't want to change it

[@rcmero]

I personally use either ToonHUD or the Improved Default HUD, alternating between the two. I know Doomsday was joking on his segment, but I find the Overwatch HUD to be quite impressive since it provides a very good example of how flexive the custom HUD system of TF2 is, basically making the game look like an entirely different game. The only other example of this that I can think of is the Borderlands 2 HUD for PAYDAY 2. Also, I'm glad to know that people are actually using the Prinny Machete on the Spy. Always fun to backstab people with it.

[@NovaFrederick]

the way you pronounced wiethoofd tho

[@Njitsgamez]

NOVA hahaha if you’re dutch you know

[@PassTheSnails]

I use Tf2’s custom hud but I use the minimized version so it’s not so intrusive or bulky. I really like it and can’t see myself changing it, i’m just glad there’s a minimized hud feature in the first place.

[@giannavanna6561]

We need a HUD counter HUD for this gem of a video.

[@aimilist]

I really love the way woolen and after breakfast talk

[@SydneySininen]

They're so sexy in such different ways. Hearing Breakfast makes me so happy and Woolen is really cool to just chill to.

[@DanielMakesDecentContent]

I used the stock hud for a while but then I found toonhud, that’s been my favorite so far and I’ve been using it ever since then.

[@TheNutshaq]

*I* really like *THE* cadence you have going here. *IT* isn't annoying at all.

[@finnyjam8252]

I, alongside tens of thousands of others have had literally no issue moving the eye (or for that sake, using our peripheral vision) just a little bit to see how much health an ammo we have.

[@bush-dog8966]

A good thing to know is that you can implement custom materials onto your hud and bypass sv_pure. Basically the reply folder still to this day is ignored by sv_pure (both 1 and 2) making it the only place for you to spread your creativity.

[@ballbonkrs6688]

Thumbnail be like: *EVERYONE IS HERE!*

[@lukeduregger6992]

Awesome VId Keep up the amazing work Aar

[@rabidtf]

ok i know i'm late to the party, however, i'd like to mention that hypnotize has his own tftv thread dedicated to updating the vast majority of all the older huds, if you don't mind i'd put a link here

[@nosh62]

I've been playing TF2 for about a week or so at the time I'm writing this, and I've been using BudHud mainly because of its crosshair. Budhud's crosshair is perfect for me because I can see it clearly in the background on any map and scenario, even tho I'd like to be able to change the yellow color of the crosshair to green. That's all, thanks for reading my comment, and I wish you a great day/noon/night

[@sanuku535]

3:36 That *hmm* energy emanating from IT I like IT.

[@whirl3690]

I use toonhud because it is more centered than the default but still shows health as both a number and a meter so I don't have to estimate how much 50 health is compared to my max health while I'm in the heat of battle.

[@lunarwolf808]

Thanks, tomorrow im going to "Try" and navigate through my clusterfuck of tf2 files since I feel a new hud would help me alot.

Sorry did Skymin just say that her favourite weapon to use is the vacater... 4:50

[@hellnaw7921]

E.V.E HUD is my favorite. Everything about it is just simple and comfortable to use.

[@portalscout]

Woolen's reasoning is probably about to get me into HUD making so It's something I like to use for myself really

[@its_cookie_man]

I tried a lot of huds but I now use Toonhud. It's the only one I found that could be customized very easily and I really like it. I don't really have any problems with it.

[@hatmann5697]

I use transparent viewmodels on my HUD because it helps me see my animation overhauls

[@thegroundareayt7427]

Custom Huds make the game so much better. They just make the game much enjoyable

[@the48thvain]

The customizability of Toonhud is what has made me stick to that hud.

[@NightSideProductionsYTCC]

Me personally, I'm used to the default, but the one thing I'd want to know which I haven't found any good vids for is custom models (Fem-Scout, MLP models, etc)

[@sagejay8177]

Tbh I really like the standard tf2 hud, I recently removed mine and downloaded a slightly improved version, where its just easier to see the hit number and thats about it.

[@fabriziovides7400]

You know, when you think about it having all your information in the center of the screen can actually mess with your view cause they would basically be like pop up ads and block part of your screen

[@1FenFen1]

The original Hud has the same problem

[@Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato]

I used the stock hud for my first 2500 hours and finally changed because I got sick of how tiny the default damage indicators where. Literally that was it

[@Zugliss]

1:43 what hud was that? I liked it.

[@johnxina6823]

Toonhud. It's the most popular hud.

[@bonkmaykr]

I remember opening BudHud in VS2017 and editing alot of the values to my liking. I even tried porting TOONHUD to Open Fortress and was actually pretty successful but it was more of a quick hack and not an actual port, so I never published it.

[@techsavvycat2584]

I've used improved default hud, eve hud, and I'm currently using Toonhud. all of them are pretty neat.

[@toastee4022]

Eve HUD is my personal favorite. I kinda hate most custom HUDs because they just don't fit the art style very well, and look out of place. they don't look bad on their own but they just don't look right to me in game. the stock HUD also isn't too great, but then Eve HUD descends from the heavens and blesses you with a HUD that both fits the art style and is much better functionally than the stock HUD and I just love it.

[@Nespeon]

I miss you CommHUD. You were my first love.

[@toastNeko]

i wish there was a more customisable hud, changeing where elements go ect

[@niksamsiah117]

Use toonhud, you can custom everything

[@ArrowSkye]

Another great and informational video, Aar.

[@derpachu8008]

I use aHud because it looks slick. It's comfortable IMO and it gives everything I need.

[@Terra-Antares]

Most of the HUDs never captured the games original style for it, I almost always switch back to stock because it's the only HUD as far as I know that has a personality.

[@pyronator8691]
