Welcome to the glorious beginning of the new series, TF College! I finally found a good image for the thumbnail, yay! Anyway, starting off basic here, we'll be discussing the standard TF2 HUD.

Sorry about there not being a picture here, Steam desn't like GIFs. Anyway, the HUD comes in two forms, static and fluctuating. The static HUD will always display the same info, no matter what game mode you're playing. If you're using the stock HUD...

A model of your current class and your health will be in the lower left corner. Health is important (duh), so keep an eye on that. The character model is useless unless you're a disguised Spy. That model will be the EXACT look of the person you're imitating (including hats). If you are a nonexistent enemy class, you'll have no hats and a stock loadout.

Your ammo will be in the bottom right. Your current clip size is the more inward, larger number, and the total ammo remaining is the smaller, farther away number.

The remaining time will be shown at the top center, representing the amount of time until the mission either ends in a draw or overtime starts. There are two timers in KOTH, each one for either RED or BLU's time remaining in control of the hill until they win.

Your reticle is in the center of the screen. It shows where your bullets will go. That's it. If it's hovering over a friendly player, you'll see their name and health.

That's it. Onward!

The Variable HUD changes based on gamemode. On Valve servers, it's usually in the bottom center. They include...

Cart movement in Payload or Payload Race and checkpoints along the track, as well as ramps that will cause an unpushed cart to roll and the direction it will roll.

Where your intelligence is and the number of points scored by each team in CTF.

Control Points, capture progress, and who owns them in CP, Attack/Defense, or KOTH.

Australium position in Doomsday (The only Australium map).

Players remaining in Arena (located at the top).

While non-Valve servers may do their own thing, I'm not familiar with all of them, so I won't cover them.

I like the guides that people write in TF2, and I read and comment on a lot of them. So I figured that I would make a section devoted to the guys who try so hard to teach people things about TF2! These may be related to the current topic, maybe not, but they're still good guides. This also acts as a conclusion, so thanks for reading, and the next guide is about Objectives! If you have a topic you'd like me to cover, just post a comment about it!

Here are the week's resources.
