To change the hudlayout to another version follow these instructions:

1. Go to the following directory, which should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Alien Swarm\swarm\addons
2. Open the ASC_HUD.vpk with GCFScape and right click "root" and extract it to your desktop
3. Open the new root file on your desktop and navigate to the scripts folder
4. Find the relevant version and rename it to "hudlayout.res". Be sure to delete the normal version first.
4a. If you also don't like some hud element, like the ammo counter, then you can also navigate through materials and delete the related files. Just keep in mind that the HUD was made with those files in mind. If you really dislike the new elements then try the "hudlayout_removethismessageforoldASC_HUD" file after deleting the materials folder.
5. Now you need to go to this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Alien Swarm\bin and find vpk.exe (if it's not there, then you didn't download the SDK. Right now would be a good time to do so.) Drag the root folder over the vpk.exe. If it worked correctly, you should have a "root.vpk" on your desktop.
5a. Remember that you can rename root back to ASC_HUD or something more convenient.
6. Now drop that .vpk file into your addons folder here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Alien Swarm\swarm\addons
7. You should have a working alternate version! Yippee!

Please extract other steam user's mods responsibly.
