Thanks! At the moment the weapon system is intentionally a bit hybrid, because this early version is also helping me understand what feels best for different players.
Picking up ammo can currently switch you to that weapon automatically, but you can also switch manually at any time with the mouse wheel or the number keys 1–5.
Feedback like this is exactly what I’m looking for, though. I may change the behaviour so ammo pickups never force a weapon switch, or make it an option.
Nice one. It's really cool so far.
I'm torn between comparing what other FPS games do, but in the case of ammo and weapon swaps I can't think of a game that changes the weapon you're using when you pick up ammo. The one case I can think of is when you get a new gun and it changes to it, but never in any other cases.
Personal Opinion Zone:
Having the character automatically switch weapons in a hectic moment, makes the player feel like the UI/Mechanics are working against them.
Great job Fabrizio!
