well, the only problem i have with sprinting and reloading right now is that you cant "start" the reloading while sprinting. you always need to stop pressing "sprint", press "reload", press "sprint" again...

this could be done in a more elegant way.
something like:
"press sprint", you start sprinting.
"press reloaded", while reloading you slowdown to a littel, tiny, bit more than jogging speed(default speed. or maybe even lower then default speed??). after reload-animation finished you start to sprint again.

Trying to text from your phone whilst running is tough never mind reloading (under fire).

Depends on the speed and terrain.

Even if you would be sprinting on a mondo-surface on a running track, it would be virtually impossible.

I have tried to reload a magazine to an assault rifle while sprinting and also a rifle with a stripper clip while sprinting and just could not do it. If you find me a video, where somebody is sprinting wearing full battle gear and is reloading successfully, I

Only if they put in slow motion / bullet time reloading double pistols while sprinting, going into somersault jump, simultaneously shooting two opponents on opposite sides with arms crossed in front of you while upside down in mid-air.

YouTube the Matrix and you'll see a video of how it's done.

what i want is the ability to start sprinting while reloading.

Aka you just momentarily stop reloading and run like hell. I dont have any issues with walking slow when reloading or even if you had to stand still while reloading (although its possible to do it jogging which is the default speed ingame).

As it is i just want to run away when doing stuff and **** happends, rather than wait till an animation finished and crap happends. I know it can give an opening for some exploits but should be possible to stop.

One way to "ballance" the sprinting-reloading issue is to make the reloading animation take more time while sprinting.

So you wanna say that it is impossible to do it on the go? You need to stand still to reload the weapon?
I can do it walking slow to walking fast, I can do it running slow to running medium. So I think variation in speed, as suggested by O'Shannon, could be implemented, so you slow down while sprinting and reloading.

I was talking about sprinting. Nothing more. Of course it can be done on the go. Everybody can do it. But not while sprinting.


But yes, O

I think reloading while sprinting should be allowed, as it flows more naturally than stopping you from sprinting while reloading.

One way to make it more realistic is to have the player struggle to reload much more while sprinting. The player has difficulty getting the clip in, or may even drop it etc.

This effect could also be applied when the player is wounded/fatigued, although should not be as much as when they are sprinting.

i.e. a player with full stamina who is standing still should be able to reload faster/more reliably than a player who is exhausted and has just been shot in the arm.

Naw, I think it's best implemented as earlier stated where reloading "interrupts" the sprint, which continues after reloading is finished.

I'd also hope if you were crouching when you began your sprint, you remain crouching while reloading.

not possible, unless you sprint slower while reloading, which kind of makes it pointless as you can already run and reload.

too much movement while you sprint, it'll be hard to hold the weapon stable with 1 hand while inserting the clip, bullets or magazine using the other. besides the purpose of sprinting is to move from cover to cover. if you wanted to do such an action and expect enemy nearby, recommend you take cover and reload before sprinting.

also, anyone who thinks this is a realistic option to sprint at full speed while attempting to reload. then show us a video of you doing it and the incredible failure that ensues. i take no responsibility for any deaths occurring from the result of such an idiotic action.

yea this is what i was thinknig as well because u CAN reload while runnnig faster in real life than what is in games default it just takes more time and ive found my self in situations like that actually slowing down and being more carefull with getting it in the slot to push up. this is how it should be done
