So, what's the problem then, idiot?
The fact you have to hold a button to delay the bolting.

The fact you have to hold a button to delay the bolting.
Ima cop yoo eediot!
JoshuaC: I know, we're just playing around.
What I meant was what's wrong with that system? I mean, where does annoyance come into play? It's not like you would want to delay the bolting for any serious amount of time.
I liked the old system better too.
I would like it even better if there was a seperate button for bolting! You could use that to empty your rifle so you can reload it before a fight and you wouldn't have to fire the remaining shots so you wouldn't have to give away your position.
That's what I thought was the main point of having a manual bolting feature. Sure, it's nice to be able to delay the bolting so you can move a tad faster during the second it would take you to bolt but for me that was always a side-effect and RO's manual bolting made this the main point. Seemed like RnL didn't learn from RO's mistake or they just didn't want see it as a mistake like I did. Their new system is even worse because now they also removed the feeling of initiating an extra action with a button press. Not really a difference from a gameplay point of view, but it's a tiny hit on the atmosphere.
This isn't anywhere near something that would justify the complaints in this topic though. If they went from "seperate button manual bolting" to "automatic bolting" that would be a clear case of dumbing down, but this... come on.

What if you want to delay bolting because you want to do a bayo charge, I don't see that being very practical if you have to keep holding down the mouse button. :-/ RO-style bolting has proved to work, why fix something that isn't broken?
BTW I do like that you can eject full cartridges in RnL.

Agreed, its really helpful when you know you only have one round in the rifle and you know youre gonna need five very soon. It would be nice though if any bolted ammunition returned to you (I would certainly pocket it if I had the time).

My short version: Really nice features in the game, obviously some features need some (sometimes serious) tweaking. Pretty good for a first beta.

We'll see how all the features turn out. If there's an enormous uproar and everyone spontaneously combusts from the sudden lack of manual bolting then the devs will change it.

Pre Alpha is incomplete - internal only
Alpha is completed but not fully functional - USUALLY internal only
Beta is normally for usability testing and external testing

I'm inclined to agree with D3t, R&L is not what I'd term an alpha release.
They decided that they'd not be associated with software development and stick with mathematics instead.

It only has 2 maps and 6 weapons yet, it still lacks MGs, other weapons etc. so it is obviously not beta yet. I think the DEVs will know it better won't they?

Tried again, still i dont really like it. Movement feels way too stiff. Zoom IS is arcade stuff...ect. The leaning is too "short". Overall its just a bling fest. Sure it looks nice but somehow they seem to forget to implent the fun playing it.
