I agree with the cutscene part, but all you have to do is pre alt+z once more, and it's easy breezy. Same with the Map. If I am using the Map to guide me, i usually open it, and THEN press alt+z, it keeps the map up for when I press Alt+z again. it's the same as pressing M.
I highly recommend using Alt+z.
ALSO!!!! for the PVPER's if u think PVP is too easy now, try it after using ALT+Z!!!
it's like Playing BF4 in Hardcore! A REAL CHALLENGE IN PVP FOR ONCE!
i do it about 80% of the time in PVP
