In all honesty I've not tried the auto-mode, but that manual bolters get a bonus is nice.

Manual bolting is faster yes, but you have to click and if you don't click you don't bolt at all.

But Manual bolting is much better for me because I used to play RO1 so I'm used to it but alot of new players will not be used to it.

I've never even tried auto bolting, manual bolting was in RO1 so I didn't feel like using anything else.

Manual bolting is very important for long distance shots and sniping, because when you bolt you don't see where your shots go.

Manual Bolting has the following advantages:

1. It seems to b in fact a bit faster
2. Like mentioned when you do long range shots you can rebolt after you got visual if you hit the target ot not, because the bolt might be in the way.
3. You dont get "stuck on the bolt." When you rebolt you are more vulnerably.

Manual bolting is pure win. The fact you can choose when to bolt the rifle is a god send. You can watch the fall of shot, its faster, I think it might even cause less disruption to your aim.

Let me put it this way, I play Allies more than Axis, and MG more than Rifleman, but currently my stats say I have 64 K98 kills with 154% accuracy.

That's right biotch! One Shot, One Point Five Kills!

I'm a manual-bolter. It's one of the coolest little things in the game, I say. However, there's those awkward moments where you forget to bolt your rifle when under pressure, and those moments where you can't remember if you bolted or not and you can only find out the hard way, which sometimes has embarassing results.

Manual bolting is clearly awesome! Only problem is that I press left mouse button so automatically after firing that it gets wrong. For example, got this Russian guy running up at me, I fire and I want to bayonet the bastard, but then I am busy bolting my rifle... And I die.

Played RO:OST too, loved the manual bolting there.

Karmakaze: That is totally awesome, a whole lot of bayoneting, I suppose?

i just reload when i am unsure!
or just hold the reload button longer pressed! as if you were looking how much ammo you had left!

I love manual bolting, always used it in RO. Asides from the fact that it's good to be able to choose when you bolt and see if you hit your targets before you do, or be able to quickly use your bayonet etc. instead of bolting it just adds more feeling to the game, makes the weapon feel more.. real.

Manual bolting is win. I love it.

I even find myself trying to do it in other games.

Been playing for 13 hours now, been bolting manually from the start. I sometimes still forget to cycle, with embarrassing results. But the added control is just so good I can't imagine doing without.

The "extra click" argument is just plain silly. It's like these people are nearly comatose or something, it's a minute movement for Zeus' sake.

I was happy about the convenience of auto-bolting, but impact-spotting is a very good reason for me to try manual! Thanks for this!
