Please correct me if I'm wrong but I had the impression that the AI sidekick in its current state doesn't use up ammo from the ammo pool when firing. I didn't check specifically though so I cannot tell for sure.
But even if each character used actual ammo from their own pool whether controlled by the AI or the player, replenishing it would not be a problem because you can switch characters and pick more ammo at any time.

Having more pickups should not be a problem at all if the arsenal is split between the two characters as I suggested above. Then again, there are FPS games that support a co-op mode for the singleplayer campaign(s) and manage to avoid being boring.

Have the arsenal split when playing with two characters, full arsenal when playing with one. The original maps are still modified for the mod anyway. I guess all this can be coded in at least in theory because open source.
Anyways, I had another idea. I really like the vending machines (although the soda can and food package sprites could use some polishing) and I immediately remembered their counterparts from Blake Stone. What about the characters got change for the machines (they audibly use coins and not paper money) from some of the NPCs?
