Could someone make some sort of trigger or something that makes it so instead of walking over things, you press use to pick them up? It'd have to be implemented into maps. But it'd be nice. That's one of the things I liked about LOTD. And accidentally picking up things that someone else might need is quite annoying.
Change the way things are picked up?

You could just throw the weapon. Doing this would actually be more helpful to other players than just leaving them alone since thrown weapons stay until picked up.
But still. Perhaps, from a mappers point of view, they wanted to create a cabinet of weapons of some sort? The player would have to pick one up, throw it, then pick another up, just to get the one they want.
And what about for armor? Say someone is at like 97 armor, and they accidentally run over body armor when their team-mate has no armor at all? How do you propose they throw that? Same situation with ammo. Someone fires a few shots, and then hits an ammo crate when their buddy is low on ammo.

I don't like that idea at all. I can understand your arguments, but I don't want to end up sitting on the floor to get the damn gun just like in RO.
In the heat of the battle this can be very annoying and therefor I say leave it as it is.

Meh. In LOTD, most of the weapons were placed in normalish places. In fact, I think I may have an idea for this. But I'll have to test it sometime later. But I'm pretty sure it should work. Not 100%, but pretty sure. I'll come back with my results.
if you have a mouse with side buttons, it helps to map the throw weapon key to one of those for on the go weapon switching
WEll, my idea didn't work. Twas wondering. Maybe just a usetrigger that when used, gives you a specified weapon. Like have some sort of dropdown box, and you can just place the mesh on the map or something.
I wrote a tut for equipping players in KFS maps a while back (Google Cache). The purpose of this was to ensure every player in the game could pickup the item/ammo without spamming multiple copies. There's little to prevent this from being exploited in Survival so I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than KFS.
OH! I wasn't thinking of that when I was tinkering with scripted triggers! Thanks. And I have ideas how to improve on it. Such as make it so only one person can pick it up. Just have to end the scripted event after the actor spawn. Thanks a bunch! I shoulda thought of something like that. >_<
Edit: It'd be easy enough to make this into a respawnable thing. Just have it do what it does, wait 30 seconds, spawn the static mesh, if that's possible. Then go to action 0.

Okay, got it working now.
So, what it does, it waits for the event, then spawns the bullpup actor on top of the triggerer, moves the bullpup mesh, and then deletes the thing it spawned, had to add the deleting in because it would spawn two of 'em for some reason. And I made it destroy the trigger so it wouldn't show the message after it got spawned.
Code:
Begin Map
Begin Actor Class=ScriptedTrigger Name=ScriptedTrigger1
