There are way too many of of these Macro guides.

[dadols]

Guides are never enough.
Also list me all the "up-to-date" Macro guides.

[xMotta]

Too many guides for macros and too little command guides for them actually.

[Vampmare]

Funny seeing this, as I was about to make an updated one myself. Good thing you beat me to it, saves me the hassle.

A few macros you could include:
When you get pounced/downed (Picks up your weapon and two-hands it): pick-up M41A-pulse-rifle-MK2\npick-up M37A2-pump-shotgun\nActivate-Held-Object (If you're one of those weird ones that use M39 add \npick-up M39-submachinegun)
Reload(This is for when you're two-handed. Ejects the magazine, "unhands it" and swaps to your free hand): Unload-Weapon\nActivate-Held-Object\nSwap-Hand
Scout Specalist cloaking device: Toggle-M68-Thermal-Camouflage

Good layout as always, keep it up.

Its always nice to see another way someone lays out or explains something like this. Its nice!
Wish the guides were more clear to find all of one thing e.g. macros and stuff.
But this is nice and simple for all

Guides are never enough.

Hmmm, wiki/Macros

[dadols]

clearly not enough guides-

Authotkey is a thing and nowhere in the rules does it say it's not allowed. It's like macros but better in every way.
