There's a bunch of options when it comes to weapons:

1. Carry all weapons at once (Doom)
2. Carry whatever weapons you want, so long as they fit in a general inventory (Deus Ex)
3. Limited number of general weapon slots (Halo)
4. Limited number of specific weapon slots (Destiny)

As far as we know at this point Destiny is not your number 4 but is (at least) a mishmash of 2 & 3. It seems you can carry more than one "general weapon", "special weapon" and "heavy weapon" in your inventory then choose which of each class you want equipped at a given time. At this point, with what little we know I think Destiny would be classified as:

5. Limited number of specific weapon slots + some sort of inventory.

But how does 4 add any complexity over 3? It doesn't really. It's just a more restrictive version.

I'm not sure your arguement hold up any longer given that Destiny is not actually your number 4.

Okay, that's interesting.

In Deus Ex, weapons occupy inventory space when equipped, unlike say, Diablo where equipping a weapon removes it from your inventory. If it's the former + specific slots, that's not so good, but if it's like Diablo, then I guess it is what it is.
