    Hey guys Lets not influence the game if does become this way it WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. If you want to carry the standard Metro 2033 load out in this new UNIVERSAL ANY 3 GUN system. It WON'T CHANGE the plot of this new awesome and it would VERY WELCOMING to n00bs like me. :)
    PS I know A LOT about the history and weapons etc I just haven't been able to play the game much at since I own a PS3 and not a XBOX 360

    It's actually game breaking imo. Either stick with the standard weapon slot system or make it that the side arm is a locked slot and 2 are universal. I assumed that in the demo that it was WIP but if I knew it was going to be like that in the final version then I would have mentioned it earlier.

    I wonder what other changes they have made? So much for going back on your word 4A and saying you weren't making a Western shooter. :twitch:

    You may as well change the genre of the game and call it an action shooter and do away with survival horror. :rolleyes:

    The Metro games already are welcoming to newcomers. Play on Easy or Medium and you're good to go. There's no need to further dumb down an otherwise fairly intelligent franchise.

    And yes, I agree, Majnu. If implemented, it would be game breaking.

    It doesn't suit the gameplay of the Metro universe. For example in the 2011 E3 demo, we saw the Gatling gun. Whilst that is a cool gun it isn't fitting in a post apocalyptic world. Metro 2033 isn't Mad Max.

    Forward onto E3 2012 we've seen a digital watch and now a universal 3 weapon inventory system.

    I believe that the watch will be explained later - hopefully by the devs as many of us have concerns about it. In a game where survival, fear and strategy is the core gameplay having 3 universal weapons will make you like Action man.

    Unless 4A have made the factions and mutants super strong then there is no need for it imo.

    I personally don't want to be overpowered, so same as 2033 for me. Maybe make it a menu option for the kids? Im 35 and have no interested in dominating, or getting "kills", or points or score or other stuff like that. Just the believable experience for me.

    Metro 2033 is all about immersion. If Artyom is lugging around a Volt Driver, the Heavy Automatic Shotgun, and the Minigun, do you really think that I'm going to believe that as a realistic scenario?

    Huw Beynon put it perfectly: players can get over the small things, like the magic ammunition pouch, or how Artyom keeps all of the bullets when he reloads a semi-used clip. But some things just cross the line.

    I agree with you guys. It would be a bit too much to carry three 'heavy' weapons. as someone said it's more logical to lock one slot for side arm, eg. pistol/revolver and have the other two to rotate weapons, be it a shotty and a SMG, or a Pneumatic and an AR, imho.

    Alright, I thought about it for a good couple hours in bed.

    Joe (and anyone else who sees this) - don't change the game. Really, everyone here on the forums (including me, until now) has this notion that Last Light should be the same as Metro 2033... but it shouldn't. It needs to be unique, it needs to be it's own game. As gamers, we complain all the time about how CoD is the same thing, every year, for the past six years.

    Why don't we practice what we preach? Let's have faith in the dev team, because I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount of bullets that they're thinking of putting in a "Metro 2033" inventory system.

    Make any changes you want, dev team, but please keep in mind the Metro Legends here that want things difficult. We don't want three heavy weapons, in fact I'm doing a revolver/knives/grenades playthrough on YouTube, and Cheaptrix is making a knife-only playthrough. We like limiting ourselves. Just keep that in mind.

    The way I see it, it's all about options. And again: if it's not broken, don't fix it. Give the veterans the choice of playing Last Light the 2033 way, and give newcomers whatever it is you think fits best.

    I actually much prefer 3 univeral slots, but I'm worried it'll cause pistols to be shadowed by other weapons.

    Why even bother using a pistol at all when I can use any 3 weapons?

    think about multilayer aswell ;) not a soul will touch the pistol unless its power per shot and accuracy is as good as a sniper.

    I think they would implement a different weapon system like with a primary and secondary with mods like the scilenced bastard and magnum or ak74 with grenade launcher and the single shot shotgun pistol.
