Equipping a weapon during a roll

Equip a weapon with a roll
In my view of SFD,a complete knowledge and availment of the movement and of your sorroundings is to encourage and reward.

With "equipping a weapon with a roll" I mean to be able to extract any weapon located on the ground more quickly than a weapon on your back,just by taking it up while rolling in a Max Payne-ish style.

This would divide the equip animation for guns and pistols in 2 parts:
-Taking out the gun from your back (or taking the pistol out of wherever pistols go when you dont have them equipped)
-Loading the weapon (for example,by pulling the slide of a pistol,or the pump of a shotgun)

In a normal situation,you'll get out your weapon and do both these sequences (As it is now).
When equipping a gun during a roll,instead,there will be only the second part of the animation,meaning that the fighter has made a roll placing his hands on the gun and taking it [See GIF]. After a complete roll,the fighter will still have to do the loading animation,but he'll be rewarded with a slightly faster equip and a cool scene.

To avoid extracting a gun by mistake,besides pressing F to pick up the gun,the fighter would still have to press the number assigned to that weapon slot (2 for pistols,3 for guns). Kind of tricky,but it looks good if you can nail it.

This feature wouldnt have a lot of impact of the gameplay,but it's the attention to details that counts.

I think it would have great impact on gameplay. So many times I have been too slow to pick up weapon and died in the equipping animation.
