Have you ever though to yourself after playing for some time “Gee… this HUD is a bit cluttered and i really don’t need all this info on my screen” because you’ve already got used to the controls and you don’t need all the reminders.
So you go to settings and you find “Minimalistic battle interface” and you think to yourself: “COOL, this is just what i need, no more useless text on my screen that’s good for beginers”.
So you turn it ON and you game goes from this:
to this:
Now color me surprised but i was under the impression that “minimalistic” means “bare minimum” as in you get some vital info like objective status and position, ammo crates and etc, NOT ABSOLUTELY ZERO INFO.
Now, as a joke 
… You know this a russian game when “Minimalistic HUD” turns everything off except the FPS counter.
But on a serious note, can the devs tweak it a bit so we can choose what info we have on screen?
