Left4Dead 2 (in addition to other games) is a visually stunning zombie shooter game by Valve Software, enhanched furthermore by the use of Eyefinity\Surround display configurations. However, as a side effect of this, the Heads Up Display (HUD) is positioned to the far outside edges of the display, making the viewing of critical information strenuous with repeated left & right head movements.
Fortunately there is a method in which to shift the HUD back towards the central monitor using mods which we shall cover in this article.
