Subject: Simple idea to improve weapon swapping

Isn't it really annoying when you pick up a weapon that winds up having only a few shots left in it? I think it'd be nice if next to the text asking if you want to swap weapons, there was some sort of indication that the weapon had low ammo. Maybe just in parenthesis it could say (low ammo).

Sounds like a good idea. I like it. It's simple and would be a nice thing to throw in.

Actually, they could do what it does on your HUD in Halo 3 and ODST; the weapon flashes on your HUD when you need to reload or are low on ammo (I think it flashes red for the latter). It should flash when the weapon you find needs ammunition, and flash red when it has less than a clip.

This is actually a good, unique idea. I really hope Bungie implements this idea, because it's a great way to augment the interface to help the player a little bit more.

That seems like a very interesting way to implement this. Great idea.
