Better, more modern FPS controls

[tunbridgep]

This is somewhat personal preference/experience, feel free to adapt/modify/ignore anything on this list if you feel it's not a good idea or not something you think should be in the game.

With games like Half-Life (which has a similar number of weapons and a similar weapon "bucket" selection system), I would like to see if it's possible to add some of it's usability features, which are more standard and may feel less dated:

• Add a "last weapon used" key for quickswitching (Q by default)
• Add "fast weapon switch", exactly the same as it works in HL (instantly select weapons in slots, don't show the menu) as a checkbox in the launcher
• Holstering should hide the ammo counter
• Press FIRE or a weapon key to switch out of holster mode, rather than requiring the holster key again ("easy unholster" in the launcher)
• Also, not really related and this one is VERY much personal preference, but I feel like if the shield was able to be "held" with SHIFT (hold button to get out shield, release the button to go back to your previous weapon), it might be less useless, as there would be a much easier way to actually select it and putting it away would be less of a hassle. When used this way, it shouldn't count as your last weapon (ie Q selects your last actual weapon, not the shield). Hold buttons that work similar ways for grenades and remote mines would be good too.
