Confirmation required on Respawning (slaying yourself)

[bonesnap 75]

I suggest a yes/no confirmation box popup when you choose to respawn.

Reasoning: I have slain myself twice now, being careless trying to change controls too fast and my hand slips on the respawn box, and boom, one hit death. Lol that respawn button is more dangerous than zombies and some players even.

Was doing very well, 200+ kills, FN FAL, 7 tools, and even 100% headshot accuracy (was doing extremely well here, never maintained 100% hs ratio before).

For something as IMPORTANT as killing yourself with a click, can we please have a yes/no confirmation for respawning? This is hardcore mode.. I realize I screwed up hard doing stuff too fast (can you blame me, Arma 2 controls require a ton of rebinding), but if there was a one-click "kill yourself" button in Diablo 2 hardcore, people would freak too lol.

Thanks for reading.

Don't expact anything, people here don't want to improve the game/mod. Everyone is sitting on his nuts. The base game worths shit, so the modding is quite hard.

I'm not expecting anything. Thus the suggestion, and not a command to implement this feature. However im sure with Rocket's coding genius he could make a yes/no popup box as one of 10 other little fixes in a hotfix update without too much effort.

Or at least I hope it wouldn't take hours of work to code in.

I'd like this idea, but it probably is pretty low on the to-do list. I don't expect to see it anytime soon, so just be extra careful when navigating your menu from now on!

[bonesnap 75]

Oh, you know I will haha.

Possible alternative: Just take out or deactivate the stupid Respawn button altogether.

Reason: If I really want to kill myself to spawn closer to x, I don't think it would be that hard to find some zomboes, or a nice high place to jump from to break my legs and bleedout.

So far this button has only caused me more grief than good. And by grief I mean losing my entire inventory, having stats wiped, and having to run across the entire map just to meet up with my buddy again. Not cool for one click to cause this much damage, and a definite turnoff for play desirability.

Hell, my body was even gone by the time I made it all the way back (I died at the top of Klen hill and heard flies. Kind of hard to miss a body there).

I can get behind this.

How about after you press "Esc" slow the fuck down and take your time... Probably most of the people who kill themselves by accident are trying to disconnect from the game so quickly to avoid zombies/players that they accidentally click respawn.

I searched Respawn and didn't see any threads. I guess it wasn't specific enough, my bad, no need to have a shitfit lol. This is a big enough problem that getting attention never hurt anyways.

People can just alt+F4, or ctrl alt delete, this has nothing to do with the wussies who server bounce. This has to do with the legit players dying when they try to remap Arma 2's god awful controls / change video settings to make the freaking game playable since its optimization is pretty bad. I shouldn't even have to touch the video settings, much less turn them waaay down. Playing with antialiasing on low right now when every other game I play is 16 or 32x. The game punishes us enough with bad optimization, misclick killing myself only adds to rediculous amounts of aggravation.
