A lot of the time, whether due to lag or non-responsiveness of the controls (or both), we press the R2 button for a quick-swap, and the weapon wheel pops up for a fraction of a second, but does nothing.
Other times, when we ARE trying to use the wheel, we have to hold the right stick even as we release the R2 button, forcing us to throw our intended aim WAY off.
I have a suggestion which would solve both of these problems.
When you press R2, whether you hold it or not, the highlighted weapon should IMMEDIATELY move to the next spot around the wheel from your currently selected weapon. And when you move the right stick to select your chosen weapon or equipment, it should STAY highlighted once selected, just like the wheel on the fitting screen works.
This would mean that even when the R2 quick-swap glitches out, the only disadvantage is the momentary wheel flashing up on-screen, rather than the delay where you have to retry or use the wheel to make it work. It would also remove the problem with weapon selection forcing players to re-aim after selecting a new weapon or piece of equipment. |

I suport this solution, I hate when lag messes up weapon switching. |

The weapon swapping definitely needs work as most of the controls, just some refinement though. They work they just need to work better and feel smoother. |

+1 from me.
Weapon switching is a real pain for those of us using the Move/SS. If the quickswitch doesn't work, we're pretty much screwed... we have to aim the SS off the screen to select the right weapon. And once you have you find yourself looking at the sky or the ground or something...
...it's a lovely way to get killed. |

Glad everyone's agreeing with me on this one.
For once. 
And it seems like a nice simple way to fix the problem, rather than having to massively redesign the system. |
