These are looking very cool.
Simple, but I like that. The simpler, the better. Making the stuff more recognizable.

that was the idea, to keep them simple and easy to recognize that way you can see what weapons you're holding with a quick glance.

Hm, I think I've figured out what each icon shall represent as ammo except the first one. Don't tell me it's laser, as laser doesn't require ammo and has no pickups. :P

Those took me a minute to work out :P

They do look good though.
Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

It would get easier to recognize after you play for a while. :) I like them.

The icons looks bad with 'sbar_hudselector 1' which I use... not sure how to fix that.

yeah, that's what i use too because it's the only hud where the icons are on screen at all times. They don't look so great because they're sized down so much. i'm not sure there's anything i can do about that though. I didn't know if I had to make the new icons the same size as the old ones, but I did, and I haven't bothered to try and make resized ones with photoshop to try and make the small ones look better. maybe i will though.

i know at least personally though that even though they don't look so great. they've still helped a lot for being able to glance down and see what weapons i'm holding so at least as far as that it's mission accomplished.

Since your icons are pretty simple you might want to use vector graphics as a base, so that you can scale this stuff as often as you want.

that's true, they already look vector anyway. i haven't used illustrator much but perhaps i should give it a try.
