What to study

The full combat HUD is a squad instrument, not a player one. Its biggest numbers are shared: 8 reinforces left for the whole team, a barrage countdown (T-00:04) that matters to everyone standing near the pink beam, and a roster that prices each teammate the same way it prices you, call-sign colour, weapon, grenades as countable shell glyphs, one health bar. Even direction is collective: the compass strip carries squadmates as coloured dots on the same line as the cardinal letters, so 'where is D2' and 'which way is east' are one glance. Your private state is demoted to the bottom block (stims 3/4, grenades 3/6, magazine 2/4), small and monochrome, while threats and teammates get the colour. Frame at 0:24.0 in the Co-op & Combat Trailer (US-EN) (manual extraction; the scene-change pass caught this sequence's explosion frames but not the settled HUD).

Screen inventory

• top left, the STRATAGEMS header with the reinforce budget beside a skull-and-plus badge: 8 left, the squad's shared respawns priced in one digit
• under it, the active stratagem card: a red three-shell icon and 'ORBITAL 120MM HE BARRAGE / Inbound T-00:04', what is coming, and the countdown to move out of its way, the pink target beam standing at centre frame
• a compass strip spans the top centre: coloured dots for squadmates (green, orange, blue), N and E letters, and a bearing chip reading 38 under the player's heading
• at right, a lone eye icon with '9m' under it, a spotted enemy reduced to a distance; teammate tags ride the frame edges in their roster colours (C1 at left, D2 at right, A4 lower left)
• bottom left, the squad roster: three rows (A4, D2, C1), each a coloured call-sign chip, a weapon icon, a grenade count drawn as three shell glyphs and a health bar; below them the player's own B3 block, stims x3/4, grenades x3/6, a rifle silhouette, and a magazine bar at x2/4
