You guys remember the E3 2k3 video when MC swapped weapons with the dieing soldier (he got dual SMGs from him).

Well do you guys think that you should be able to do that in multiplayer. Like if you go up to some guy and both of you hold X then your weapons swap. Yay or nay?

That would be pretty sweet but i could see some noobtard who always had to get his way and would kill you if you didnt switch weapons with him. So yay and nay.

Well, you could quite easily hold down either X or Y when facing another person.

It was rumoured we were going to be able to do this, I read it in a 2002 magazine, but it remains to be seen if it will make final build.

you could just drop the weapon and have him pick it up

Come on seriously do you guys think they are going to add a another control just so you can swap weapons.....
besides the 2003 video was scripted.... for example there was no shield status or ammo status icons in the HUD

I know it was scripted, but they are still saying that they were going to put it in single player. They hated how you had to kill the marine just to get a sniper rifle. So now if you go up to a marine and hold X, itll swap weapons with him. And I was wondering what you guys thought of it for MP.

And the reason why they had no shields or anything was because they didnt have the HUD figured out yet (as they still dont) and they dont want the guy dieing in the middle of an E3 demo... how bad of a presentation would that be!
