You could script a weapon to only be picked up if a variable is equal to 0 (global var), then when the weapon GETS picked up (probably from the player pushing a key) it will set that variable to 1.

Now place your desired choosable weapons down and give them that script. The player should then only be able to pick up one of them.

In that case:

Make a triggerzone with a script to do the following
- Freeze the player in place
- Display menu huds giving choices for weapon pickups
- When player presses a choice key, have it activate that weapon entity
- After activating a weapon, have it hide the huds and unfreeze the player

Now just set up the weapon entities to spawn and place them on top of the player start marker. Also put the triggerzone on top of the player start marker.
