: I agree that not being able to pick up another weapon or use its ammo when
: your in inventory weapon is empty is nonesense, and would be fine with
: what you propose, but Perseus also has a point about this being, to
: paraphrase, not so much a bug fix and more of a weapons system
: re-imagining or improvement, and if you start too far down this road,
: where do you stop
Well the whole discussion had moved from one of preserving canon to one of how to improve the game by fixing bugs, thus making the game a little more realistic in terms of weapon and ammo handling.
What I'm proposing may be a bridge too far. But it is a bug. Though some would see it as a feature of the multiple weapon pick-up bug on Total Carnage.
If this was fixed (or implemented) it wouldn't change solo play much, since the number of times you find a weapon without ammo lying next to it is very limited. So you can always fill your empty weapon easily. If Bungie had just left weapons only lying around then it would be a different story.
I acknowledge, It would change network play.
Oh dear, I feel my 'canon' side taking over.... I am being c~*anonised.
Cheers
Hamish
