please sepearte grenades from fire modes

[twisted 128]

i've been playing ofp thn arma then arma2. and one fundamental thing that always feels really less than userfriendly is how a player is forced to cycle through all fire modes and grenades with a single key.

would be much more useful to have one key for rifle based fire modes (and have the choice remembered as rifles do should not magically reset themselves once you've used your grenades)

and one key for grenades and smoke grenades. press, hmmm - 'g' for example? select g and choose the nade you want to throw.

please bis consider this simple but really quite userfreindly change.

arma2 is in a class of its own but some parts really could do with an update.

G wouldn't really work as it is currently the gear menu. Possibly a number key setup?

I agree this should be incorporated into OA.

Yes please BIS, do this. One key just for fire modes and another key for everything else (satchel, grenades...).

Numbers are used for the command menu already.

May F - Grenade and Ctrl+F - Firing mode. Though this would probably give dozens thousands of FF accidents in MP after its first introduction. :p

I agree that some separate 'throw item' key command would be great.

Who cares what key it is, as long as we can bind something to it...

And a toggle option for stand and crouch would be nice.

Nice idea - create ticket on dev-heaven

What do you mean? That is available already. You have keys for standing up, crouch and prone. Or you can bind one key to go up and another to go down. They are all toggle. Would you like to not having it?

[galzohar 31]

Right now we need 3 keys. Would be nice if we only needed 2 - crouch and prone - and if you hit the prone key while prone or the crouch key while crouched you would stand back up.

ummm thats already in, I made X crouch toggle and 2x Stand up

[galzohar 31]

That's not toggle though ;)

[katipo66 94]

ummm thats already in, I made X crouch toggle and 2x Stand up

damn, i didnt realize you could do that, cool.

But i would still prefer one click toggle option, at least for the crouch/stand... i would like to assign that to one of my thumb buttons on my mouse as that is probably one of my most used actions besides free look

hmm. well I assigned freelook to the 3rd action button on my cruddy mouse which works out well instead of using ALT since that can lead to accidental terminations ALT+F4

My setup works very well in the haste of the gameplay, using seperate buttons to do all 3 actions is a waste IMO.

z does go prone, x does crouch 2 x's stands up that way I can use "c" to do a different action forgot exactly what it does.

Hope this helps.
