This brings up an interesting question

My guess is its not a good idea to rummage through your inventory while under fire.

Definitely agree, but if you ran across a public event like in the E3 event for example, you could see the Devil Walker coming in and switch from your Heavy Machine Gun to your Rocket Launcher in preparation, something you wouldn't be able to do in Halo unless you were juggling a Rocket Launcher with you along the way.

It would make a lot of sense to have the length of time a player is committed to their choice of loadout tied to the length of gameplay you've signed up for. From lengthy engagements out in the wild to competitive matches, your primary and secondary weapons wouldn't change(or at least not often) and your special can be hot-swapped. I totally agree on not wanting to rummage.

Who enjoys Backpack Tetris as a metagame?
