By now, there are a LOT of good TF2 HUDs out there and also a lot of really good looking ones.

However, I could never get over this one post from a few years ago:

I don't think I've seen the circular health 'cross' anywhere else, and I really like how it fits in material design. I think it would look insanely good if someone could made the circle the central part of the HUD with a medhud-like layout. Any other more uncommon concepts you guys have seen and like?

Overwatch HUD in TF2. I hate the functionality of the OW HUD, but it's pretty sleek and it's even more amazing that someone could make it for TF2.

To be honest I think most popular HUDs took pretty similar and it's kinda hard to say one looks a lot better than the other.
90% is just too big white numbers somewhere in the bottom middle of the screen.
Some have slightly smaller or bigger numbers, different fonts and sometimes different colors, cross or no cross.
But that's about all the differences that are between most HUDs.

If I have to name one tho: raysHUD with white ammo numbers instead of that bright green/turquoise.
Or m0rehud with raysHUD fonts.

It's a tried and true archetype. It's so common because it looks good, it's what people want out of huds. And unless something else comes along and does a really good job doing something else (hudas iscariot and maybe medhud, mostly), huds that don't do similar get ignored pretty quickly. In no order, things like; metrohud, BazHUD, BelleHUD, edisHUD, solanoHUD, origamiHUD, are all some examples of huds that did try to do things differently (and whether or not they looked good, they never really became notable, other than for saying "yeah this idea was already tried and no one cared"). There are definitely more that I'm forgetting too, these are just the ones that come to mind.

Though I really gotta disagree on them all looking the same. Yahud looks nothing like m0rehud black looks nothing like ell's hud looks nothing like flamehud looks nothing like material hud looks nothing like wiethud. The health and ammo numbers alone, you do have a lot of choice when it comes to how you want to deal with them, and they can have a pretty significant impact on the overall feel of the hud. And I mean that's also, usually, the most similar part about huds.

None less different than rayshud is at least.

Yeah, the hud was largely an experiment testing-grounds for a lot of my hud ideas. Some were more trouble than they were worth (and were almost more proof of concepts than anything), but for others I really wish other hud editors could also look into and hopefully end up with a more seamless implementation. Hell, some, like chat_english editing, are just such good goodies that I'm surprised no one else has even taken a good look at them.

I'm on linux right now where font sizes are really screwed up compared to windows, so I can't really work on it myself to update and fix bugs.

It's a shame my hud (shameless plug for WietHUD) is being put together with the 'looks like default' most of the time.

True, it does look like it, but code wise it has found a lot of groundbreaking stuff you see used in huds used these days (#base, hudanimations_manifest, high quality item images) and made a lot of optimizations to the horrible code Valve has managed to churn out over the years. Visually the same != code wise the same.

chat_english is very cool to use, thanks for finding that one out! It has been used for every casting hud I've made and maintain (tftv, blackouttv, tflivetv)
