"You picked up ------"

[Murphy]

Hi,
when you pick up bolts you get a small white message that reads "you picked up a bolt". I'd like to suggest that this behavior is applied to everything you pick up, especially what you pick up from ammo boxes.

As it is now you don't know what you got from the box until you check. You can see your grenade count change right away since it's always on your hud but to see if you got ammo for a particular weapon you have to select it first and check.

It would be much more convenient to have little white messages pop up when you pick up an ammo box. For example:

you picked up:
+1 grenade
+57 mp5 ammo
+1 pipe bomb

With some exceptions, you pick up about one full mag for each weapon in your inventory per box. Or it's as close to that as it matters. Some things change on difficulty increases but that's things like refilling pipebombs etc.

At least pipe-bombs then. Maybe grenades too for consistency's sake.

Personally, i think this is a good idea (to everything you pick up, but most importantly from ammo boxes)

although for some reason all ammopickups give ammo for all guns, so.... there needs to be a way to separate them... like in red orchestra.
each ammo pickup has it's own message (and says how much ammo to give" but it barely matters since they work with all guns.

so now someone needs to figure out how to code weapon specific ammopickups.
