Im all for empire uniqueness, but i always assumed the way the game was going to work was run out of ammo, and grab an enemy gun off a corpse.

I hate the concept of being surrounded by dead boddies full of ammo weapons and grenades, and having to just run around on empty, hoping someone in another class drops an ammo kit for you.

Ofcourse story wise you could justify that in the future weapons are made to only respond to your specific DNA, making it useless to other people or the enemy. Or that the gun breaks down back into nanites when you die.

I suggest a small mini game looting system, where if you get a kill or an assist on a guy you can collect nanites from them, and either use them to fund more ammo, or transport them back to an engineers dispenser or something for exp, which the engineer will in turn use to make deployables. Just another aspect to combat to keep things flowing and people interacting.

And so you dont find yourself in a situation with a kill streak of 8, and your sat in a corner with no ammo, hoping no one sees you for a final knife kill before you die.

edit. Just realised this would be an amazing reward for kill streaks, allowing you to spend your collected nanites from defeated enemies on a new grenade, a new rocket for your missile launcher, or more ammo. Any problems with that you strangers!!?

Black market, looting, etc. Whatever the function, I'd like to be able to get my hands on some enemy weapons at some point.

Make them like trophies; difficult to acquire and use effectively, but something of a bonus for the looter (or a safety net when you run out of ammo).

i agree with ya if the ennemies die in front of me i want to be able to pick up his weapons !

And i think thats living on a planet like auraxis NEED a black market so everyones can stay loyal to their empire while having mainly their own weapons faction but also having 1 or 2 weapons from the others side wihout having to switch or creat another accont on another empire !
