Ever had the sniper rifle and you have a buddy who rocks with it? You need to give it to him, but there are no other weapons nearby, so what do you do? Swap!

It is a simple, but efficient idea. To swap a weapon, you and a team mate simply approach one another, hold the "X" button at the same time(when it says Hold X to swap weapons") and you aquire your ally's weapon, and vise-versa. It would be easy, and not very hard to incorporate. Kind of like how you can do it with marines. So it's not really my idea, I'm just suggesting that Bungie should expand on it.

I think this is a great idea... I know many times while playing a friend of mine who sucks with a sniper had it and we had to go search for another weapon so we could switch them out... this would make stuff a LOT easier.

they would both have to hold x though, because I can just see people pushing x by other people that have the weapon they want, and that could cause some problems

I think that weapon swapping is a good idea, it can be very helpful when both people want to switch weapons, but I also like the idea of dropping weapons whenever you want to, like holding down on the D-pad and pressing X, that can be just as helpful if you dont want a enemy whos chasing you to get it if he can kill you, just drop it in the corner or something. Lots of good ideas, I hope that Bungie adds a few of these features and more.

But then there would be even more jerks following you around going "GIVE ME THE SNIPER I'M BETTER AT IT GIVE ME IT YOU NOOB I CALLED IT"

What if there is a guy on my team sniping, and I simply wait for him to reload. I'm sitting by him holding x and the instant he presses X to reload, I take his weapon.

Sure it seems good on paper but it would easily be manipulated.

Good point. But I would put it on a not so used button, like the white button (Or one of the triggers on the back if where talking about a 360)

I say that tey should just let you press down on the D pad to drop you weapon. This would eliminate all the problems, and work just as well.

Report the guy for poor conduct in his profile. You can avoid the player, and you simply won't be matched with him again. Or, just play with courteous friends. I myself won't play much Halo 3 Matchmaking, because it ruines the experience from the jerks and cheaters. I play with my friends. Not cheaters, who have no life.
