Yeah, I'll try to explain as best I can here. You know the two slots at the bottom of the screen; the weapon slot (Shows your current weapon), and the Vita slot (Your Vita). Well, I am not talking about the Vitapod, here, I am talking about the weapon slot. We need to expand this, and add more slots there. It would be SOOO much easier to figure it which weapon I am switching to. There is enough room to expand it, so why not?

This has been posted before, but I can't remember the thread, or find it. The Devs need to implement this into the game. I re-posted this so admins/devs can see if possible; and I would give all credit to the person who made this idea if I could find the thread!

Here is a picture posted by Blue-Phaze. Thanks Blue! ^^

YES.

great for remembering slot order/ how many slots you have for those who have more than 2, and what weapons you have in what slots.

Small lil detail: the icon of current active weapon should have a red outline.

Make it like a revolving

Make it like a revolving ring, would help for scroll players. Decrease the size of weapons that arent being used.
Also, should be a "skip next weapon" button for 4 weapon players (like pushing in the mouse 4/scroll button). You can go up or down currently, but you have to scroll twice to get to the oppisite weapon.

+1 to plain and simle:
- a icon for every weapon you have
- highlighting weapon you currently use

There is so much space above health bar it would fit there.

lol

@Blue-Phaze: Yes. ^^ I expected someone to make me a picture, and thanks.

Thanks for the support guys, but I am not the original maker of this idea. If I could find the thread, I would give all the credit to him, but unfortunately I cannot. :'(

I re-posted this so the admins/devs can see. This would be a nice simple add-on that can turn out to be pretty big. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!

Edit: Updated OP.

GASP make the arsenal like a revolving ring too. Instead of a blasted scroll bar thing.

^I'm not sure how much space

^I'm not sure how much space that would take up, but the it would look extremely odd to those players who use two weapons...

This would be a very simple improvement, I really hate it when I forget which weapon's next in line...
doesn't hurt anyone, and can help some other players. Thanks to the person who came up with this idea!

"There is so much space above health bar it would fit there"
Please do remember that there is where the status ailments go as well.

As I just bought my first extra weapon slot today, this would be pretty interesting. However, being a frequent FPS player, I would rather have hotkeys for each weapon instead of hitting 1 and accidentally using a health vial instead of switching to my firotech.

But currently the single slot

But currently the single slot in hud shows what weapon you're using
How are you proposing to indicate the which weapon you're using, and have the player understand it at a glance?
I'm not sure highlight around the slot will solve it, as there are a lot of color schemes for weapon icons
