    The UI is too much!

    Personally, I think it's the one aspect of the game that needs major work. The aesthetics are fine, they're simple and intuitive, but the problem for me, are the sheer size of everything. It's too much, IMO. The screen is often clustered with UI stuff and it breaks the immersion during visual moments and may impact gameplay due to being unreasonably overpowering at times. Now, I believe the designs are spot-on and I love the layout of the HUD, but the Achilles' heel are definitely the size of everything. Please scale down on the size of the HUD/UI, or allow players to tinker with it via in-game options like in Titanfall or Fallout.

    Dang, the list of names of people in teams left and right was definitely not in the alpha demo I played.

    I only agree with you about the team HUD but the rest is relatively small, which, IMO is good. the player names definatly need to be a LOT smaller, like:

    - click the touch pad for ps4 and other thing for X1 that i dont know(maybe select) to see scoreboard and the death thing. but when it reaches 1000 points the game should warn us that we are breaking the teams moral (that it must be already like this) and it should warn like "Your ally ExampleName will no longer enter battle" and then it disappears and it stays on the scoreboard. Dunno if I was clear.

    Small shields at top part of the screen would be sufficient. Grayed out or something for downed allies and more at scoreboard.

    This should be sufficient. I disagree that it should be removed. Info about allies that are alive might be crucial when you're trying to think of a plan fast for a comeback. Like if you don't know if there's nobody besides you the choice that you might make could be way different. Like not atacking enemies only "sneaking" yourself into one of the capture points to revive the teammates.

    Just a reminder that the shields on the left and right only pop up when it's in sudden deathmatch where your team doesn't respawn if they die.

    Yep, that's true, and it's all the more reason for them to be minimized. It covers a big portion of the screen, and makes it hard to detect if other enemies or allies are nearby at the edge of your screen. That's something you don't want when you're in the deathmatch stage of the match.
