For example it would be for unlocking care packages to friendlies, as was mentioned in another thread. If that option is enabled then by default care packages are locked to the owner and enemies only. No friendlies. But the menu can be used to unlock all the players care pacakges currently on the map so a friendly can take it. Having a team that works together and talks to each other is preferable but if the team has douches on it that take packages without permission this should help. This is currently the only action in the menu but there is room for a few more and I am open to suggestions. It cant be anything weapon related like throwing a grenade or unfreezing... stuff requiring you to hold a button... but the kind of thing you might set up in the multipler options window. Dropping a sentry or things like that. ChknFngr and YACCster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I don't mean just rounds I'm talking nades, betties ect as individual items not just throw your while loadout at them. Yacc has a good idea with giving an already taken package, I would like to extent that idea by asking if it could be given to a team mate while you are frozen say on the last round. The ability to gift the package to a surviving team mate could be a great game changer. Edited July 27, 2014 by NITRO YACCster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The question would be the means to do it and accounting for the various conflicts. For one it would have to be like using paddles in BF where you have to stand next to the other player. But there wouldnt be animations. You push the button and voila it is done. If the other player already has a streak prevent a transfer. Also no scoreboard-like thing were you can choose any player. I assume one of the ideas for example would be to get a UAV, give it to someone who waits until you then get an airstrike, then he turns it on and you launch your strike. If it is something a lot of players tell me they would actually use I'll look into it. If nobody does then I will assume the answer is no. The care package one is needed because of brain dead players but this one really is not. Thx for the idea tho and if anyone has others post them. Dont be shy. I might move 'drop object' and 'activate special weapon' to it for consistency. Its already been discussed previously but because it is impossible to get anyone to go onto the other server when this next one is ready it would be put into the main server and switched over on an as-needed basis. Run it for a couple maps to check it all out with lots of players... hopefully they dont all leave... then change it back to the current mod when finished.

Why hide them in a "quick" menu that would take 2 or 3 key presses? In a frantic situation I like to beable to drop my sentry and run as quickly as possible. Or have I misunderstood your quick menu?

This would just be so it is easier to understand and keep things together but not necessarily better depending on your pov. It would be the same menu as 'follow me' or the others. But its only just an idea. When you think about it however it is already much faster than its supposed to be because unlike MW2+ I dont use planting animations. Nor do you have to actually hold the sentry before you can plant it. So even a couple keypresses is still much faster than what was intended. The way it currently is, you dont lose your sentry on death. So in a frantic situation you might be better off keeping it unti the next time so you can place it exactly where you want. Dropping it quickly might be in a poor location and the sentry is wasted. NITRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I like one press sentry drops so I can drop on the fly before a sniper picks me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

And actually it seems nobody has any other ideas for what to put in a quick actions menu so its not worth wasting a menu for just one thing. So I will figure out something else.
