How many people played the beta on Ghost difficulty and completley removed the HUD?
I partially removed the HUD as I noticed I was not getting the "out of area" countdown message when doing certain missions. Mainly when in a plane or helicopter.
Also with the HUD removed I could not see friends asking me to join missions. Surely there has to be a limit to what they remove from the HUD. As the friends to join and "out of area" messages are important and should appear.
Just wondering if anyone came across this.

Played on Ghost all Beta (Played Elite for just an hour) and tried to play with HUD on zero, but i couldn't customize the hud as much as i'd like to. Its still nice for screenshots though.
No Minimap - no problem
No Markers - Really tricky since there is no waypoints/mission markers, and you lose the ability to use sync shot at all with AI team mates.
No Mission Info - Ehh... really tricky when playing a mission for the first time.
No ammo/weapon/explosive count - No problem
My Suggestion:
Divide markers in multiple options:
- Enable/Disable Enemy Markers (Red Dots)
- Enable/Disable Friendly Markers (Blue Diamonds)
- Enable/Disable Waypoints/Mission Markers
- Enable/Disable Incoming Fire Direction arrow & Detection radius (when an enemy detects you)
- Enable/Disable Misc Markers (? incase i missed something)

I played with just markers and crosshairs, after I got used to the buttons and learnt how to tell what item I have equipped without its display. I had no problems. Once I have a like-minded team of tactical stealth players, those markers will be coming off too. Hopefully they make adjustments to the HUD options, but even if they don't I'll still be happy to go without markers.
