I just want to be able to activate/deactivate while I'm still alive.

Trying to press tab when you dieh becomes quite the annoyance on servers with little to no respawn time.

NOTE: I'm not saying we should be able to use the weapon menu while alive, just that we should be able to (de)activate it for use when we die.

Probably something that should have been done a long time ago.

also something that was suggested long ago. it'll make it in eventually ;)

Sounds ok to me.

Yeah, something simple and good.
