Ironic because I mentioned about the possible impact of your suggestion to some players and you replied "dont use it maybe?". lol what a constructive advice on a thread requesting better team voice comm.Ok fine, do it your way, we need to spoon-feed new players and old ones who still doesn't know the commands.
The only negative impact is when people inadvertently press the buttons. That's their fault, not the game's, although I've ever heard of someone pressing the ALT or CTRL buttons by mistake before... so to say that this would be a negative impact would mean one has to do this often, which I highly doubt.
I'm trying to provide positive suggestions to improve the game for all, new and old. There's a reason Renegade X does it this way - it's simply better than having a delay. If you can't grasp that then feel free not to post in this topic.
Plus, you never mentioned anything about 'possible impacts', all you said was 'well it's pretty annoying to have that thing shoved in your face when you already memorized them all'.
I've memorised all of the important ones but it would still be nice if the page displayed instantly. It's more of a convenience thing.
