Players can swap weapons on the fly, and each type has advantages and disadvantages - case most fully in point, the fact that guns still need ammunition.

Call us mutant heretics, but the truth is that we're ready for this new chapter in the post-nuke world. As anybody who played an earlier Fallout game knows, there were times when the emotion (or desperation) ran just high enough that one almost begged for a crack at an action-based game - by God, THEN we'd show our foes. Well, soon you'll have the chance to put your munitions where your mouth is (provided you have only one mouth, you post-apoc mutant, you).
