Something similar to what some people may remember from Gears of War 3. The ability to share ammo between teammates, or even trade weapons without a spare 5th weapon nearby. This would help in a competitive sense in terms of team building, and would help decrease team killing, and hopefully lead to a better sense of appreciation to others. It would be applied in the following format:
- You and the person you want to trade with would have to be facing each other. After a second, you would get a prompt to trade.- If your weapon that is currently being held is different than your teammate you are trying to trade with, you simply swap the weapons.- If your weapon that is currently held is the same as your teammate, you divide up your ammo 50/50, or even just give 1 full clip of that weapon.This would be great for multiplayer, but especially so for Campaign, Firefight (or Spartan Ops god forbid). How often have you had a team mate accidentally pick up that extra ammo for your gun they weren’t trying to? Or perhaps you are both pinned down and you are out of ammo and your team mate is bursting to the seems in DMR ammo? This would just help in some circumstances in terms of making sure that no one ever felt like they had to throw their gun away and just charge at an enemy and play the role of bait/meatshield.
It could work like CS:GO, you drop your gun and your team can pick it up. Have it mapped on the D-pad, but let players disable it in personal options in MM or in game mode options for modes that do not want to support it.
up - Trade weapon
down - Drop weapon
right - Share ammo
left - Split ammo
Dropping all weapons could have players take out their knife, it would work like melee but much faster, however there would be no aim assist at all and sensitivity would be forced to a high setting.
Would be cool trade your weapons with your friends ir they were better with, for example, Sniper than you or something else
<div>I like the idea !</div>

Great post OP, always thought this and the spot feature from Gears of War would go far in Halo…
Not really sure about that. I don’t think I’d like the idea of two team mates standing around trying to switch weapons or share ammo. I think there should simply be a drop weapon button. You drop if with the same ammo in it that you left it at. No swapping. Just drop the weapon and if you and another player want to swap then you both just drop them and carry on. I would want the feature disabled in a small slayer game. I need team mates to help slay not sit and play hot potato with weapons. They re spawn in a few minutes…you can wait.
Who wouldn’t want to have the option of sharing ammo and trading weapons?

I think it would encourage players to go for power weapons, and then give them to players who may be able to use them better. At least when you have some communication involved.
