Sniper Reloading Imprvmnt

[shadowmoses]

I liked it in the mod where you were able to reload 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 rounds...instead of waiting for the avatar to reload every round...
Id like to be able to interupt the reload to atleast bash...or something!

 

[d4v]

agreed.

 

[Zell]

Wait, it doesn't let you bash in the middle of a reload? Why would it be taken out?

 

[BobCobb]

You don't have to bash in the middle of a reload, but many times it was preferable to only reload one round because enemies were near. I dunno why they took it out, but it was a useful and realistic function of the sniper rifle.

Well, it is a reapeated animation, maybe it could be broken off once the main loop stopped (by hitting sprint or something).

I've always felt that for a multiple-round reload, a hold-to-reload system is best. Simply put, you hold down the reload key, and insert the rounds one by one, if you let go of reload, you stop loading.

Agreed 110%

Aye, i've seen that done in a few mods, and liked it, it'd be nice if RO:O would adopt that.

Also, it'd be nice if we didn't have to wait for the other rifles to run dry before reloading, its not exactly difficult to load a few rounds from a clip into the magazine.

They too could use the hold-to-reload thing, but it would require some more animation work ofcourse.

The biggest problem with the rifles right now is that we can't choose when to reload, in real life you could, just lock the bolt back and insert as many rounds as you can/want from another clip, no problem.

We were kind of hoping for manual bolting to be a separate button, precisely so we could bolt out the remaining rounds and reload from a stripper clip.

While it's not that difficult, I really don't see myself stripping the rounds off of a clip into my pocket or whatever to single-load.

WRT the sniper rifle, I could've sworn you can still interrupt reloading with your fire key...but then again, I always duck into a safe place to reload anyway. *shrug*

 

[Hyperion2010]

You can also reload instead of bolting, it takes about the same ammount of time...

 

[shadowmoses]

Perhaps i dint expln myself well enough in the Post...
I wanted to see a change in the fact that while reloading you cant just stop your reload halfway through...thus loading in only 1, 2, or only 3 rounds...
Like in the MOD where you could just click the fire button and close the bolt after something like 3 rounds...
because if i see someone and know i can get them with 1 or 2 shots i dont want to have to reload the entire 5 rounds befor i can get the shot off.

If the Mosin PU scope is raised does it not allow it to be reloaded with a stripper clip?

nope
Still not enough clearance

I think that if we were to go in that direction that it would be one push of the reload would reload one round...then press again would reload a second...However the M91/30 (unscoped) still is best loaded with a stripper sleeve.

If you're a sniper, and you let the enemy get that close...you deserve what's coming to you.

Lol i agree...
But what im saying is that for the sake of speed, i should be able to load a single round into my rifle apposed to waiting for all five rounds to be loaded.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

The other day I loaded two rounds somehow, I'm not sure how I stopped the reloading process but I believe it is possible.

I have encountered that aswell...What that is is a reloading glitch...
Where you will need to reload and begin to so...
after a few round it will stop and close the bolt...
the glitch is that if your avatar has only loaded 3 rounds, he has just waisted the other 2...
If you were to reload, thus filling up the Mag with those missing 2
You will begin to reload with another clip...
For me, it seems to happen on Barashka the most...while in the radio house

1. You should only be able to insert rounds after you have fired (doesn't make sense to bolt another round in only to open the bolt and insert more rounds).
2. If you have not bolted after firing and you go back into IS, your sniper rifle should fall to the side like the other rifles do (don't know why this was left out).
3. You should be able to interupt reload by pressing fire or melee.
4. There should be a alternate reload method "hold reload till done" method (letting go closes the bolt) and the way it is now. It should be selectable in the same area as the different types of scopes is.
