Maybe during a redesign it would be a good idea to not have a background video.
I just checked--it's 17.1 megabytes. I wouldn't be too concerned.

A cool feature would be a encyclopedia of vehicle/weapons/maps. It'd amaze the newbies for sure.
While the idea is cool, it would take a while. Can BF2 menus link to online material without taking you out of the game? If not, then I don't know what kind of coding would go into the menu to show that kind of stuff.

hard code it into each release?

We discuissed internally the Menu thing and we voted against. We dont see why we should change it only for the sake of doig it because we could.

Small things like these (commonrose change for example) really make the mod stand out from BF2 adn makes it feel unique.

yet the time spend in that can be used to make much more needed things

Too bad that commonrose sucks. Only good thing about it, is that it doesnät block view, otherwise it's clumsy and harder to use than old one.

Usually I agree with everything(!), but on this one I gotta vote against. The time 2 make a new texture for buttons and new pictures for background is not that big. 1-2 hours max.

1st of all, it's Commo-rose (communication-rose). and yet we can't name it that because now it's a Commo-line, or Commo-rows. (not being rude, just stating the correct name)
2nd, True it doesn't bock view but 40% of the time I push the wrong button especially for the things on the ends.
But still it stands out and gives that 1945 feel.

EDIT: Corrected spelling.

But implenting these buttons takes a weeee bit longer.

Seriously, I was just stating the obvious. It's not a Common thing, but Communication thing. Meant no offense.

Actually, it's a commo-rose to be precise.

I liked the old system better, even though I rarely use anything else except the charge button.

The team has eleven skinners, each one also a modeler. Could one not be spared? Let's not forget that the team has six coders.
I think that a menu would be a fresh coat of paint on the ugly hunk that is the BF2 menu. :-\

I think new menus need to be designed as well. Setting the mod apart from Battlefield 2 is rather important. The mod is amazing when it comes to polish, everything looks great in game and better than stock BF2 ever was. Yet the menus still look like crap. While we all like new material, with maps and everything, I think most people could stand getting an update to the interface and waiting a bit longer to finish the maps and content.
