Do you guys know how cheesy it is to be running along and you see this box with huge words that say "Ammo reloading station!" right over it?
It would be a colossal joke. Scavenge the ammo from enemies that you killed. With anything that isn't a power weapon, you should only run out of ammo if you are way too passive or you aren't using your weapons properly.
Seriously, whats next? "Lets make the warthog and scorpion and banshee have limited ammo and they have to fly / drive to a big ammo depot to reload all their missles and ammo."
I realize thats how it might work in real life, but this is a video game, and there isn't room for huge random ammo depots in every level, nor would it fit the setting of every level.

NO. What about the Beam Rifle or Sword? You'd have unlimited ammo if you camp by one of those stations.
Simply place them in a bad camping spot.
I would also like see ammo for reloadable weapons.
Good job assuming things -blam!-. Did I say lets have a big -blam!- ammo station, that conveniently is labeled "AMMO STATION" and reloads all weapons? It would simply be ammo packs on the map that are specific to one weapon, like the rocket packs or ammo stash on Turf we saw in Halo 2. The ammo crates would balance into the current map control design for the game. It would require shotgun campers for example to leave their area and go out in the open to grab ammo instead of waiting for the shotgun to respawn. It would promote better gameplay.
Shotgun ammo would be in a horrible spot for shotgun use. Sniper ammo would be in a horrible spot for sniping. The ammo would also have a respawn time and the weapon you are holding wouldn't respawn until you drop it.
