I was thinking about this and I think it would be a cool touch. When you run out of ammo you can press a button to throw your weapon at someone for a little damage. If you were to kill someone this way, it would be extremely embarrassing for that person. And plus, if you miss...it's not like they can pick the gun up, it has no ammo.

I think that would be stupid, because ur going to see guns all over the map that there will be guns everywere.

The War will wage forever; though with it's fury comes a peace that you will never know here.

I'm thinking that that would be hard to program into the game, especially at the current development stage.

To do that, they'd need to create throwing animations, as well as getting to choose a button that'll throw the weapon.

Instead, just remeber to press 'B' when dual wielding to drop your weapon. If you happen to be talking about with just one weapon, then you might notice that Bungie puts plenty of ammunition in the levels that they make (with exceptions, of course!).

Good idea, but then all weapon collision with players would need to inflict damage, or it would not make sense. For example, if a grenade goes off and flings a weapon and it comes hurtling at you, you'd be in trouble... I'd rather have an empty weapon than no weapon however, because then you at least are able to perform melee attacks, since Master Chief is incapable of using only his hands as seen in Halo1. (Unless they fix this.)

They could disappear and respawn somewhere else. Just an idea. Or you can have guns all over the map, which would look cool in my opinion.

And also, I think it would be cool if a grenade went off and a flying gun hits you and hurts you. Of course, this will be very little damage, but cool nonetheless.

And I agree, it is probably too late to add this into the game, but I was just bringing up a "What if".
