Some context first. [spoiler][i]Alright[/i] So you're going down super long halls and massive chambers, carrying your scout rifle with a watchful eye for those ever-present hordes of thrall. Then, the dark door behind you opens silently, releasing a squadron of chosen knights. The sniper you have equipped is useless, and the zoom on that scout rifle will get you killed, doing only about 200 a hit. You need your hand cannon, you long for that shotgun. But switching weapons will be far too difficult, you have no option but to turn tail and... Be stabbed whacked and shot to death. Possibly scratched. Maybe even fall off in the panic. [/spoiler] [b][u]TL;DR[/u][/b] What I suggest, is a way to swap between 2 weapons for each weapon class, without pulling up the actual menu. Holding the circle button has no use (not sure what it is for Xbox), so we could utilize that. Ammo reduction of course, would still apply. Getting a magnet fusion rifle then switching to that sniper with firefly would be too [i]easy[/i].
