OMFG, can you be more dense and stubborn?
Maybe trying to explain shit to you is making it rub off?
Unified ammo does NOT mean "we all use the same brand of ammo in seperate clips", it means "all weapons share the exact same source of ammo". Once you move from one to the other IT'S NOT UNIFIED
What the fuck are you trying to say here? Yea, they all share the same base source of ammo, which presumably is assembled by a mini Universal Constructor into different forms for different guns. You're acting like the finite supply of ammo exists in all of your guns simultaneously. Even if the concept were possible, you'd still have to put the ammo into the gun!
There are no clips, that's a figment of your imagination.
I see, so every time you pull up a weapon your entire supply of ammo is contained in this weapon, and whenever you switch weapons your entire supply is somehow magically transferred? If they really wanted to do it this way, they would've been better off only implementing one gun with a lot of different firing modes, kind of like the OICW in reality. Again their design goals seem to conflict, as they want only one source of ammo which doesn't necessitate reloading or swapping, but they want many guns which are pretty much exactly the same as their 20th century conventional counterparts.
With the unified ammo system DX2 has, reloading would work as I described it which we both agreed would be a bad thing.
Where do you get this shit? I said:
The way you described it is one solution, and I think that would work just fine, really.
Or I suggested an alternative solution, which you again jump to incorrect conclusions about:
Or when you bring up a new weapon it could always start with a fresh clip, presumably loaded offscreen
That would work with unified ammo?? Then you lose ammo every time you swap weapons or reload!
Tell me, where did I say you lose ammo? Lots of games have implemented reloading in a clip based system without making you lose ammo. Like... hm, let me think... DEUS EX. The leftover bullets from the partial clip would go back into your pool of ammo.
Would you think about this before responding again?
Could you pull your head out of your fucking ass?
