    *up* on the D-pad is for....??

    Have you ever noticed how for a game that has so many options, selectable items, guns, consumables etc....youd think that every possible button on a pad would be used to its fullest?

    Nope...the d-pad UP isnt used for anything...so....what about if we have it for maybe another weapon?? Or.....now strap yourself in for this one...how about, when you press UP...a ikkle sub menu appears with all your current weapons, you simply scroll through and hit the trigger or A (on xbox) to select it and then it becomes equipped. This will be so convenient when in the middle of a firefight and youre forced to go into your menus to select another weapon because you out of ammo on something thus leaving you to catch bullets with your face.

    Just a thought.

    Oh and also...the option to be able to organize your weapon inventory would be nice...have all your favourite guns at the top and crap at the bottom. That would make swapping weapons that bit easier.

    The up button puts a mark on a target. Press and hold and it starts a timer.

    Never seen it used.

    So, it does do something, but that something is pretty pointless.

    I'd use it for 'weapon fire modes' - single shot, burst, full auto.

    I'd love to see it as a mappable input (would actually love a fully configurable control scheme, but whatever) where we could make it a hotkey for equipping a third weapon, or binding it to a consumable like water or something.

    Until yesterday when I randomly decided to look through the in-game docs, I had no idea it was supposed to be for marking enemies. Tried it a couple times, didn't seem to work the way I expected, and I wrote it off as useless. *shrugs*

    That's a good idea. Player choice hot key.

    Fast equip incendiary ammo with the firecrest set sounds like a winner.

    If you play on PC and use a DS4 or XBONE controller you can do all this and more.

    ALso I have used the Mark key/button a few tmes, with groups that understood Tom Clancy standards.

    Its also the Cut Rope key I think.....

    I use it all the time when I play teamed missions. It puts a mark and a timer on bad guys so other people know what you're shooting at.

    It's really nice in a group that doesn't have mics
