closing weapon menu

[cooz]

situation:
i like to close weapon menu (this list with all guns, knive, law, whateve'...) with TAB while i'm dead so it doesn't open after next respawn and i don't have to funk with it,

i know i can turn it off by ckicking outside menu but it still take some time,

also when someone set respawn time to 1 sec it almost impossible to turn it off

my suggestion:
make it possible to turn off weapon menu when you're alive with TAB so it won't show next time after dead, clicking outside turns it off but it'll show after next dead, it should screw anything and will give us some extra feature

ps
  i'm not sure if i remeber correctly but was it made in such way in 1.x.xb versions?

Thumbs up for this one.

No, it wasn't. You couldn't even disablet the weapons menu back then.

Er... you already can. After you die for the first time, when the weapons menu pops up again, press your Weapons Menu button (mine's set to Tab anyway), and it won't show up when you die. You'll keep the weapon you selected last time. If you want to switch weapon again, you have to re-enable the weapons menu before you respawn.

This, however, presents another similar suggestion. It would be nice if, while the weapons menu was disabled, you could still choose a weapon using the 1-0 buttons, as I noticed it isn't currently possible. The only way to switch weapons is to have the weapons menu enabled. If this were implemented, you would receive messages in your message log telling you which weapon you've selected (just like it says "Weapons Menu Disabled" etc.).

edit: I just realised, it would also be nice if you could enable/disable the weapons menu while in-game too, so you don't have to do it after you die. This would also help with games that have no respawn time, as you wouldn't miss your weapon selection if you already enabled the weapons menu before you died.

To be perfectly honest, no I didn't. Maybe I will next time.

Finnaly, a new forumer not posting something stupid.

Im all for it, im sick to death of having to pick my rifle and wait even longer for it to load.

if you allways use the same weapons you should be able to turn the weapons menu of and it automatic choose the weapons you've selected. if you want to change when you're dead you'd just have to press Tab. shouldn't you?

[Keron Cyst]

I think, unless you have no primary selected and it's at the beginning of a match, the weapon menu should never show unless you're holding Tab and are dead or have just respawned. You shouldn't have to toggle it; it should be a hold function instead.

But cooz's idea is great as well.
