    How in God's name does it work? I've played exclusively using the linear inventory and I gave the circular variant a try, and I can't for the life of me figure it out.

    And apparently, they're using it in Last Light, so I'm going to need some practice :lol:

    Circular Inventory was an option for the consoles iirc. I used it but I didn't like it because there are too many items you can carry in Metro 2033 that selecting grenades or a knife can be tricky compared to the linear version.

    I'll be using linear and I just hope that there is a better weapon select screen instead of bland looking boxes.

    Lol I just selected the correct number key for the weapon from my keyboard.
    And just used T to see the resources I had left.

    I'm on console, the controls are clunky even with circular. I just need to know how to select a weapon!

    I don't have it on console, so I'll be probably talking cr*p, but can't you pause and go to inventory screen or something like that?

    Yeah it reminded me of fallout 3 shortcuts for weapon selection.

    The circular inventory was much better for console, but I can see why it would be pointless for PC.

    Oh yeah, my bad. :) It was designed to be used with the analog controller, while on PC you could just use a shortcut key or mouse.

    I personally found it smoother and much easier to use than linear. Much quicker to get the right weapon out for the job.

    I'm a console player and I still prefer linear. It's what I played with for the longest time, and using circular just feels wrong to me.

    I suppose I have to get used to it since that's what they're using for LL.

    Same. It's much simpler and very efficient.
