why don't just use Logitech G11 keyboard? It only costs 35€!
and it has all in all 54 individual keys. thats much more than G15, i don't know why anybody should buy G15(except WoW-players, there are some more functions for them i think)
but velo is right there is no need for a freezetime anymore.
-rc and -zoom can be typed in by porting
if there should be a freeze time it should not last more than 10-15 seconds.

hehe. everyone is right but no one can see the other guy's point of veiw. you are all fucking retards who can't agree on this in my opinion. everyone is right and no one is wrong!!!
one thing no one pointed out is that noobs need time to read tool tips and recieve instructions from more experienced players though.
Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?

The good thing is that it has open API(included). So this made possible for me to have such marvelous features like chatting in ICQ without having to alt+tab(Miranda G15 plugin), easy tracking of now playing music and many more. But I never used any game features intended for that LCD.

TYPING COMMANDS IS JUST A TINY PART OF A BIG PROBLEM!
The MAIN purpose of delay is to provide everyone with identical starting conditions.
As it is now when game starts(and I am not host) I get to the battlefront MUCH earlier than others do. And then it will past 10 or 15 seconds until someone will ever come to battlefront. And what that means? That I play better than the others? I doubt. This is because the game starts suddenly just after the silent and still loading screen( exo, this is a gentle hint;-)) so people need time to get what's happening, decide what tank and weapon do they want to take, make all purchasing and eventually get into fight. Some delay before start would justify the difference caused by unintended factors.

If 15 seconds is making the difference in the game, then why bothering playing? I seriously do not think it is as important as you make it sound. Sure it would be nice for matches, or any game where you want to make sure it is exactly equal, but give me a break. Maybe you get 100 extra gold for getting out there 15 seconds earlier. A skilled player can overcome that defecit. Some players WAIT to choose a tank based off of what others choose, or their enemy.

As a continuation of this idea during freeze time map should be fogged and unfogged when freeze time expires. So no one could see what choice is made by your opponents. The purpose is the same.

Maybe if fog is an option you are using...what is the point otherwise? I still do not buy into the extra 15 seconds as being game breaking. Maybe you stop someone form buying weapons at the middle shop. But if you are holding mid that long anyhow, there is a problem with the opposing team and they should lose.

the number of people who want a puase at the start keeps going up and up. i think it should be changed to allow chaning of votes.

Just to be clear, I have no problems with a freeze at start, but I think Vomitus's arguments are weak

I'll vote to support a freeze time. Qweq and BENNIE is right, I too think the start is a bit hurried. I also liked the idea of fog outside of base during the wait time, this gives the analyzers and reactors the chance to not choose anything while waiting if they want to suck up the delay in return for selecting their counterstrategy, but others the chance to do whatever.

Yes. I don't think that those who dislike the idea will cry about a 15 sec. delay at the start.

I dont think its entirely about typing commands anymore. People who know to use them, will probably not spend a long time sitting there typing two or three commands.
Its more about giving time to consider options, since not everyone fully memorises the prices of everything. Going random gives you even more options to remember depending on what tank you random.
If exo decides to implement this, he should think about a 'ready' command such as -r. Small text will say "Type -r when ready". If everyone (or most) people type -r, then the game preparation time ends immediately.
eh?

Btw, 5 seconds is too short duration, especially considering -r command in action. This is indeed not a question of typing commands, but something else, something more.
As I stated earlier I would like to see something like 'preparation time' when you can buy everything you need and get to desired position fully equipped. This is about a thing that you have to walk to fighting lane on your own when you buy items exactly for 3000 and have no money to teleport. A free CP teleport (for 0 gold) within first 20-30 seconds of game could be a solution.

I'm against it. Deciding whether you spend all your gold and drive to the lane or save some gold, teleport to your lane and therefore be able to creep earlier is imo an important part of the starting tactic.
The freeze time should only be long enough to type some commands and decide (not buy) what to start with.

I'm very impatient, cuz I hat to wait 15 seconds to buy stuff. I like the pro idea of buying weapons before moving.

Um, im under the pretense it would be something like dota, where you can move around and buy or whatever you want to do but troops wont spawn. In bt, you would need to stop people from attacking enemy towers too. Disabling cp-tp for this duration would be sufficient, since walking out would take as long as the 'freeze time' anyway.
And to buy weapons before moving would mean having the weapon shops in range of tank starting locations.
???
So no creep spawns, cant cp-tp for 15 seconds would easily work as a 'freeze time'. Theres a lot of names for it.
