Armouries

A simple idea. A placeable station (with the appripriate scenery-gfx) that allows you to swap weapons. Just drop your weapon then run to the armoury to activate the weapon menu again.

Could be a useful little idea, no?

A reason for your dislike would definatly help :o?

I like this idea, but perhaps only for Infiltration, or Cature the flag. It wouldn't work well in DM matches I don't think...

I definately support this. Sometimes I want to change my weapon mid-battle and I don't want to be bothered by killing myself to spawn with a new weapon. It would also make weilding 2 primaries much easier. ;)

why couldnt it just be a poly type? then you could have as many as a map needs and it wouldnt be plagued by only one type of map can have it.

Hardly anyone would use secondaries anymore... snipers would keep having two barrets. People who like explosions would keep having two m79s... I think this is a bad idea... unless you can prevent choosing two primaries.

Uhh.

I think he's saying that when you go to a stationpoint thing, the weapons menu will pop up again, allowing you to choose a different primary and secondary.

But what's to stop a player dropping their primary, getting another gun andn then picking up their original?

You may only use the weapon station once per battle? And you must be holding a primary?

I don't know about once per battle, but holding a primary sounds like a good idea.

It might be nice as a way to get one step closer to single-player campaigns, but other than that I don't really see people having the time to use one in the middle of the game -- even in slower r/s servers.

This seems like a good idea, but the two barret and m79 idea ruins it.

Maybe it would prevent picking the same weapon you have?

Ex- Me carrying a minimini and Socom. I drop Socom. I go to armoury.
      I can't choose a minimini.

good idea, what about starting without weapons and reaching the point so you get your weapons?

Yes...because we all love one-sided games where the enemy controls the weapons and you can't get any.
