Looking good! I don't like the in-game HUD very much but that's personal preference.

Glad to see you moving forward.

Well, what's wrong with it?

Made a quick little edit - the objective should be there regardless of whether you're shooting at an enemy or not, it would just display above.

Note: This is again my personal preference and other people might have vastly different opinions. I don't think that my views on that necessarily mean that the way you should go about it.

Wow, thanks!

Very good ideas.
