Modern Warfare III Lobby UI - Your move,

Medium/large backpacks would expand the menu vertically, and in squad modes you could see your teammates’ inventories as well.

Proposed UI change in Modern Warfare Zombies:
Bring back some organized color to tac-map icons! Right now, it's lots of white -- which is difficult to visually sort through.
I think the UX would be better if activities were properly colored. PaP, Perks, and Buys need priority!

@ModernWarzone
Needs solid QoL updates. Player HUD from WZ1 ASAP. Looting needs rarity colors (gray, green, blue, purple, gold) so the game feels like less of an item sorting simulator. Killfeed needs to be clearer w/ "cracked plates" vs. down vs. elim.
On the right track for sure.

The backpack system isn’t inherently bad, it just needs to be refined to speed up navigation. Key information should move from left to right. Plates should be easily seen in the far left, counting every plate, instead of having to find them. Small changes make big differences.

Terribly unintuitive HUD and QoL elements. Pings still suck, Player HUD is a massive step back from the end of WZ1, weapon rarity colors gone, contracts are teeny tiny, game feels like a glorified looting simulator bc it takes so much counter-intuitive reading.

Overall, a lot of MWII UI but simplified for easier access.

Backpacks are not inherently bad, they just need to be reworked for faster gameplay. Instead of two screens, it should be streamlined in one menu. It is inherently quicker. Additionally, there should be caps on self-res, killstreak, and field upgrade storage.

Sure! They opted to reinvent the wheel with MW22, and I think it has clearly had a negative impact on the game's reception. I am all for new and innovative design, if it helps player retention and is functional and pleasing to look at. The fact is, MW19 accomplished this better.

If Warzone 2 lived up to its name of being a sequel, I’d agree. There are many things that the current Warzone does better, but the cohesive, arcadey, and silly vibes of the CW era cannot be topped for me 😖

HUD and Quality of Life changes don't instantly turn a frustrating experience into a good one, but they certainly help!
- Better contract & map icon visibility
- Tiered items w/ color coding
- Improved Player HUD
- Readable compass bar

It's obvious that the game *is* in a dry spell, but the feeling is compounded by having gamemodes and content variety hidden within the UI. A concept like this makes the game more inviting to me, as a consumer. What do you think?

MAKE CALLING CARDS VISIBLE AGAIN!:

I’d definitely prefer that, but that level of simplification clearly isn’t the path moving forward for COD. I designed this UI concept with practicality in mind; it’s something SHG could practically execute if they wanted! A natural step forward from the MW19 UI days.

Did y'all know that vests alter your create-a-class? For example, the Engineer Vest removes lethal equipment and gives an extra tactical and piece of Head Gear.
I didn't know this until watching a video. The UI needs to tell this directly, so I made a concept.

4) Make pings even bigger and less transparent. Make loadout pings persistent on screen
5) Remove rotating Buy Station inventory. No intuitive muscle memory can be developed because the Buy’s stock changes per location. Counter-intuitive.

Weapon Rarity Indicators:
Color-coded loot is back.. kinda. When you look at ground loot or equip a weapon, its rarity is shown. I'm so glad this is back!
However, after 2 seconds of it being equipped, the rarity is hidden. This isn't great -- good loot SHOULD change play

It’s fascinating to me that it’s still my favorite COD! Hated CW at the time, was sad that Vanguard lacked an identity after launch, and loathed MWII.

DMZ's UI overhaul today was huge for me and many others.

Update day was a big W in my opinion, which is great to see! Unanimous approval of an update has been rare in MWII, so I’m glad this one was done right.

I’d say the main game UI is about as good as it’s gonna get. HUD is a different story.
