Sniper rifle reloading

[terenz]

So heres the scenario. You acquire your target, you aim, you shoot. Heres when I sometimes have a hard time confirming my kill, because of the reloading. I have to say, the reloading scoped animation is brilliant and I absolutely support it.

WHAT IF, we had the choice between reloading as we do now(automaticly after a fired round) and doing it yourself. This way, it is easier to confirm your own kill, and its easier to stay in focus when you feel you need to. It is true, that we would want snipers to bring a spotter to do exactly that, but I do have situations where the spotter isnt with me just yet, or focused on other plausible targets. And as far as I remember, all the rifles require manual reloading too, so why not be able to control it? Id think, that it would also make the player feel more comfortable with the rifle, as I could imagine a real sniper would want to.

Three ways to do it as I see it; Not to change it, force manual reloading, making it optional in controls tab.

Any thoughts?

If you keep your left mouse button pressed after the shot, you won't reload until you let it go.

You should be able to confirm your kill that way.

Have you tried to keep the fire button pressed after the shot?

You can delay cycling the action on sniper rifles, shotguns and bolt action rifles by holding down the fire button after your shot.

and HAT's better for guiding them at longer ranges.
