Since it seems so many can't envision this I'll spell it out.
Right now you use the directional pad and a single push brings up an emote. It would be easy to add a second slot for each direction and use a DOUBLE PRESS of that direction to get to the second slot.
Or even use a LONG PRESS like you have now to get to your power weapon.

You hold the "down" directional button, an emote wheel pops up, you use the right analog to select the emote and voila. The other directions could be used as "item shortcuts" since the menu takes so long to load. It would make things simpler and quicker.
