So I came across this... and I fell in love. Very similar to BF2/2142. I really hope DICE implements even half of these things.

This looks good. The chat looks easier to read. The expandable tabs is a nice idea and should make navigating to different menus easier

Your UI ideas are superior to the current UI setup, hopefully a future update will take your suggestions into account.

Its been posted in the Official thread but still. All you guys with twitter need to start tweeting this to Zh1nto and other DICE guys. Then it will be a reality instead of just a wish

It's the true UI is terrible as is the squad system and complete lack of team communication; there just isn't any in BF3. Hope DICE gets onto things quickly.

v1.0 is my favorite. I think that v2.0 squeezes in too many things on the screen, e.g. the customizing on the right side. (Plus, my soldier already takes some time to show up sometimes when moving into customization. Might take longer if you had the background playing and the minimap goin' nuts). Also I liked the chat location in v1.0 more. Plus it doesn't need a hide feature. I do like the server information panel of v2.0 though. It could be simplified even further, however. But great job! Let's hope Dice takes a hint. I'd love to see it changed to something similar to v1.0!

Got many numerous praise from many BF forums and I'm pretty sure a DICE representative have saw it. The question is will they listen to their community and implement it?

Yeah the current interface is pretty cruddy, with BC2 I was constantly tweaking my gear, now just customizing your gun is behind so many menus I barely bother with it. I have a feeling they'll update it though. I like the v1.0

V2 tries to shove too many things onto one screen. I like V1 however. Although I will say I have no problem with the current UI.

I would be happy with either version instead of the crap we have now. It's Busch league, that's for sure.

OMG SO MUCH WIN !!! ¬_¬ too bad the current one sucks, and you lose game time because of the stupid design of where to click to customize your gear. That plus it's not very clear what Squad mate you spawn on ATM as all of them have white rings around them and it's a gamble if it's the right one :/ hope that changes too.

That version 2.0 is pretty sexy, same with 1.0.

With that said I dont have any big issues with how things are now, could be better yes, but its not a huge thing for me.

Which means serious changes are improbable due to costs, and coordination options between squads outside of chat is a no-no.

Bummer. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that one day a patch provides us with something even remotely similar.

Hopefully they will see how much the community wants this and patch it in. I'm sure it can be difficult to code this, but really all they are doing is moving stuff to be on one page, there are a few added features like with the squad management (naming, kicking inviting, etc, but these have all been in previous BF PC exclusives).

Just make an unpaid intern do it.

It is pathetic, in every sense of the word. The guy is just butt-hurt a user beat them to it... and gave them the sudden realization that they should have done it better.
