| + | The '''HUD''', or '''heads-up display''', are the things such as health, ammo, the killfeed, and the round timer that sit on top of the action happening on your screen. Many competitive players found the the default HUD to be less than ideal, with the health and ammo tucked away in the far corners, so they designed replacements that move this info toward the center of the screen, as well as adding things such as custom crosshairs and bigger, more visible damage numbers. |

| − | The '''CHUD''', or ''' custom heads-up display''', are the in-game element such as health and ammo indicators, the killfeed, etc. CHUDs are very important to the competitive scene because they usually focus more on usability. Many competitive players prefer CHUDs over the default one as they clutter the screen less and show more relevant information to the player.
