I have mixed feelings about looting from an inventory window.

On one hand, it lets you get exactly what you want from the corpse, like that medkit or AT weapon.

But on the other, it takes time. Even just a few seconds is like an eternity in a firefight.
You'll have to be very careful about choosing the right time to sprint over to the coffin, lest you find yourself missing a limb or two.


edit: forgot my angry little smilies -

That's why you keep an eye out for enemies and hope you have some allies around you.

There is also another thing to consider,
How many times do you think you will ran out of ammo before you die?
Remember theres probably gonna be about 100+ people nearby, either firing ahead of you, or towards you.
And my answer to that question is about 10 deaths to 1, and even then you still have your pistol or knife.

1 last question.
How long will the coffins hang around?, probably not long enough till the battle is over.

How many times do you think you will ran out of ammo before you die?
Personally, not very often. But it will happen... to me, to you, to everyone.

Remember that not everyone will just grab their AR and fill the rest of their inventory with ammo. Most people will likely be lugging around a grenade or two, a medkit or a REK, and TWO different kinds of ammo (standard and AP).
Some will be carrying an AT weapon, which will probably suck up a good deal of inventory space even with just one or two extra rounds.
I personally plan on carrying a Jackhammer on any mission that even has the slightest chance of moving indoors.


I guess what I'm getting at is, people will only be able to carry a finite amount of ammo, even for your pistol.

Everyone will experience the need to restock from a coffin.
Everyone will experience the need to do so in the middle of a firefight.

It basically comes down to who cares? if your outta ammo you can A: run out to grab ammo potentially getting shot or
B: stay where you are with no ammo and get shot eventually
sounds pretty easy to me
