I suggest the default HUD should be replaced with a more minimal, and more practical one. In my opinion, the current HUD looks rather messy even if it fits the menu theme nicely. Also I think there is room to improve the usability of it for beginners; ie making the timer and health and ammo more prominent.
I've not come up with an appriate HUD myself, but take these ones as examples of what I mean:

Of course these are VoD configs, but I hope you get an idea of what I mean by minimal.
