You all know that at the beginning of each mission you have to decide which weapons you're gonna take. Well, I always thought it would be cool if you could also decide where on your body you want to place the weapon. Different areas would have different pros and cons. For example, you could place a gun on your ankle in an ankle hoslter...the pro would be better concealment while the con would be a limit on the gun size (i.e. you wouldn't be able to strap a Desert Eagle on your ankle) and the time it takes to draw the weapon while playing the game. Putting a gun in your waistband would allow you to carry a larger gun and draw it more quickly but it would be easier for the guards to detect

It wouldn't be just limited to guns but would include knives and other weapons (have a knife strapped to your leg or in your boot etc.)

Also, it could factor in weight. I recall in the previous game I was able to carrying an arsenal of handguns with ease. This made things quite easy because I had a gun for every situation (if I needed silence I used the silenced one...if I needed power I used the more powerful one etc.). With the weight method, however, you'll have to pick and choose. I just think its good idea because it puts more emphasis of the player's decisions.

I would have that as an option. Frankly, sometimes I simply do not feel like having to think. If I wanted to think, I wouldn't be playing games: I'd be being productive. But, since I am playing games and, hence, not being productive, I might as well not be productive while I'm at it.

So, it's a good idea, but I can easily see hating you for it forever if it can't be turned off.
