    If you're talking about the 3 bars under your name and shield, that's your health.

    I would like to echo that request. I know knowledge will come in time, but I'd sure like to know heads up what everything I'm seeing (right now in video clips) means! I see stuff at the top left of screen. Top line starts with a number followed (I think) with what could be my name - what does the number represent? Does that line or parts of it change color and if so why? Under that is a bar that does change color and it is darker on its left side than it is on its right - what does that bar represent and why does its color change and why is it darker on the left than on the right? Under that is a red bar that's composed of sections, as explained above it seems to indicate what could be my health in 250 HP increments, is that correct? Then there's stuff on the right side, it seems to be there even when an enemy is not targeted. Is it the last enemy engaged? It starts off with a white bar (the one I'm looking at as I create this post in in German which I don't speak) that has text on it, what does that text indicate and is it always white? Under that is 2 red bars with numbers in the middle of each, what do they indicate? Under all that is some text with a number to the right, what does all that mean?

    Then there's the stuff at the bottom left. Same questions - what does each graphics and the text and the bars there mean? I've never played a FPS or TPS before, this is all alien to me and I'm not having luck with Google. Anyone got a nice annotated screenshot link to share? Thanks for any help reducing beginners confusion.

    while the number at the top left still confuses me...
    the rest in that corner is simple shields are the big white bar health is the red bar while the yellowish orange bar thing under your name would be experience
    underneath that there is another number which i think might be currency before leveling? after you get an ego perk however it tells you..
    bottom left is quick chat/emotes things to that nature the power grenades and vehicle under that is ammo obviously
    top right the name of your location then the minimap followed by the current objectives of whatever you are doing
    bottom right is where npcs show their face while talking to you through the ego implant (or a radio i'm not 100% sure which)
    and underneath that is the "chat" box

    there will probably be a tutorial in game that introduces you to the entire system or a book (digital or paper) that details it with the game though...

    i'm thinking the number by the name is ego rating...since in the video they used it went from 10 to 20 when he got an ego point which are attained at every 10 ego rating

    all of the above is mostly speculation from watching videos and reading forums...
    if any of the above information is incorrect i apologize
