For example:

Most of this is self-explanatory, but a quick overview of some points:
ID: What other units use to identify your unit uniquely.
X, Y, Z: Your location on the map. Z is height.

The letters H (hotloaded), N (narc), A (artemis), U (ultra), L (lbx), I (inferno), W (swarm), 1 (swarm1) may appear after the weapon name indicating a special status or ammo usage mode. Under status, a number is how many more game ticks remain until a weapon is recycled and ready to fire again. 'Ready' indicates the weapon is ready to use, and '*****' means the weapon is disabled and/or damaged. You may also see 'JAMMED' or 'DUD' or 'SHORTED' or 'EMPTY' if a weapon failure occurs. The ammo section shows remaining rounds for a specific ammo type. Above the weapons display is your limb status, showing if they're recycling or ready.
