I was there and will write my report soon, but "There will be no HUD ... Creative Assembly has done away with the traditional HUD screen that often displays health or a radar" from the quote above - I don't recall that being true. There is a small lifebar and what seems to be a battery lifebar in the lower left of the screen. When they talked about there being no typical HUD, they seemed to mean in the sense that the motion tracker will have to be used tactfully, instead of hogging a quarter of the screen. I definitely recall there being s very small lifebar at the bottom left. I'm sure it faded over time, like some other games do.
