Personally I think it looks more up to date than the old one, which looked a bit retro in the styling...

This really shouldn't be a reason to keep it..
lol
You're joking, right?
I think its because the icons are small compared to the rest of the screen space and its all kinda dotted so its hard to instantly make out a certain shape. We'll all eventually internalize where each weapon is though i guess.
The only thing i dont like is that it now takes 2 mouse clicks to buy a weapon :p.

The info is going to display on rollover, and we will be adding keybinds for purchasing the weapons with the number keys, among other changes and improvements.

I found the buy menu mildly confusing at first, but grew accustomed to it quickly enough. It's fine. I would like the option to buy stuff with number keys though.

Another idea: The graphics of the weapons could scale automatic in size with the screen resolution AND the amount of weapon options. Should not be to complicated to implement.
That's fine, but that also means your opinion regarding the new menu is meaningless as well if you're going to say that it's good based on the fact that you can run it on a cell phone.
If you can only play the game at cell phone resolutions, then saying the new menu is good is not really going to help unless the developers are making this game for the iPhone.
/for the record, my computer sucks as well but I'm playing at 1600x900 or 1200xsomething depending on where I am and what I'm hooked up to.

He is playing NS2 Beta. So his opinion can't be meaningless. Anything else is just an useless insult. The old menu was to static. A dynamic one like the new is in many ways better. [sarcasm]But you as normal player can't think this complex, thats why your opinion is meaningless.[/sarcasm] Just stop arguing like a little kid, ok?
Do you know what the definition of irony is?
And I'm not insulting him. I'm saying that you can't base decision of the new menu on whether or not it runs well at 640x480 resolution.
But since you have taken it upon yourself to troll all of my posts regardless of whether or not you agree in a blatent attempt to garner replies for no other reason than to receive attention for yourself, I'm just going to ignore you from now on.
/if you go play NS2, that is much more fun game than this "forum game" you play where you just disagree with everyone and post ironic troll posts where you say I'm insulting someone and then you insult me, even when it's obvious that you're just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. Stop playing the forum game.
He's resigned himself to a life of being a Rifle Player, poor dab.

Sadly you haven't understood why I placed the sarcastic sentence there. It was to show you how stupid it is to insult people this way, because you did the exact same thing the post before... Thats why I marked it as sarcasm. You don't even see the mirror, did you?
And on a side note, when the game has the option to play it on 640x480 it has to work with this. Everything other is a bug and he is right to point that out.
Instead of blaming others, that they play the forum game, you may realize that you started it in this thread. I'm only posting answers to this, because I'm sick of the immature behavior of some users. And sadly the only way to make them see is to talk in their language. My sarcasm-sentence was the exact same you wrote. And now you are claiming, that it was insulting? Grats, you have just seen yourself in the mirror.

No one likes a smartass.
There is nothing smartass-y about my statements. <b>The iPhone has a resolution of 960x640.</b>

Using mouse1 for movement? That's not common, but not unheard of. By chance, what key/button does he use for primary fire?
At the moment (he changes it from time to time): Mouse1 = Forward; kp_enter = fire; kp_5 = backpedal; kp_left/rightarrow = strafe left/right.
And no, it's not unheard of. He's pretty stubborn so won't change it (which is fair enough), I would quite like him to buy other weapons and jetpacks in future patches though.
Might just need some time to adjust but those are my initial thoughts.

there was nothing wrong with the old menu, at least bind the new menu to number keys so i dont have to click around

I guess it helps people running on smaller resolutions but I'm at 1920x1200 and I feel like each time I go to the armory it takes a full seconds to find what I'm looking for and move my mouse over to buy it.

This reminds me, you should be able to double-click on a server in the server browser to join a server instead of clicking the server, then join :\
