They added way too much crap to clutter up the screen, making it confusing as hell to tell what is where... like with all the little icons and shit above names.

It is a completely different game.
Considering the Sword and Rocket Launcher's placing is etched in most players minds their location would become a killing pit so to speak, as all the better players would simply wait for an impatient dude to make themselves an easy target. The SMG/Magnum duel wield is the best set up. The symbols over your teammates heads is a welcome evolution over the green triangle that helps experienced players not only know the whereabouts of teammates, but what they're up to as well (shooting, taking damage, dead). I can't imagine why someone who plays team games wouldn't want that type of info to help them, unless they're not a team player; whereas they souldn't be in that type of game period.
