These icons represent the additional information related to a certain situation the player is currently in. For instance, the gas mask icon will appear if the player stands in the chem-hazard area, or a lightning bolt icon will appear if the player recieves shock damage.

The "running man" icon represents the run mode. You see, we were developing a special walk/run mode for gamepads during the early stages of development, so that the player could switch the mode to their liking with a press of a button on the gamepad.

These icons are most likely not to make it into the retail version of the game as they mostly prove to be useless. We don't want the HUD to be filled with useless clutter and we try not to spoil the feel of immersion of our game.
