Drop/put function

[joltan 0]

Ok, I really like the drop/put commands - I think especially in MP games this funktionality will rock. But I find its implementation a bit crude:

1. You can only put a weapon (or its ammo) in the storage if it is the active weapon. How am I supposed to drop the AA rocket I'm carrying if I don't have the launcher?

2. You can only take ammo if you have the according weapon active, thus it is also impossible to take ammo for a weapon that you aren't carrying. That was fine when you couldn't drop stuff as in the original game, but now? How am I supposed to carry ammo for a team mate if I can't take it from the ammo box at all?

Would be nice if this could be improved in the next patch!

Edit: Damn just saw that I posted this in the wrong forum... could a mod move this to the Resistance board please?

Moving, and agreeing...

how bout a "put/drop all weapons" command, this will put everything into the truck, binocs, smoke nades, laws, weapons, ammo, every single additional thing you're carrying, then if you wanted say your AK back you get it back, much quicker that way.

You can use the map screen and go to gear and click on the little arrow button next to th info button, that will get rid of your AA missile or whatever

Ahh yeah I remember that, same deal with the AI, so if you want to "borrow" a clip or two you can do it in there, not an ideal way to dump or your gear in a truck but it's a start

I think its quicker and easier, becaus you dont have crouch down and all that so i normally do that instead of using the radio or the menu

Does this work in MP, too? Or is this only possible for the team leader in SP? Can everybody take whatever they want from my inventory???

In SP the use of the notebook in the mapscreen seems logical, but in MP? What if my team leader is fighting for his life and can't afford to go to the map screen, but I want't to give my team mate that rocket he needs so badly? What if there's a twit stealing my M21, just because he wants it, too?

Could anyone who tried ammo exchanges in MP give some input on how this works in Resistance? Haven't had the chance to play much MP yet.

It doesn’t seem to be working carrying just LAW ammo and no LAW. If you have a LAW and drop it (from the map screen) you automatically drop all LAW ammo and if you order a solder to drop LAW ammo and you don’t have a LAW you cant pick up the ammo. This is a disappointment…
