From a strictly gaming perspective, the video demonstrates some fresh concepts for keeping the player informed of the typical first person shooter inforama during a match. It uses relatively simple iconography and never gets in the way of the important stuff. I like the d-pad abilities icon and ammo readout. I’m not sure showing the exact number of bullets remaining in your main gone is really relevant (or useful) in modern shooters, but it’s provided nonetheless.
