i like the animations and all but im sugesting taht after you reload when the animation is done your slightly off ( like half a inch) from where you were looking at before you reloaded...its so you dont reload and are looking at the exact same spot, this would simulate teh movement of the body

is this possible tho?

It's most likely possible, however is it worth changing this is every single animation file, does it make that much of a difference?

not really.. but it would be nice..and i dont think it would take too long to cahnge

Well, I'd much rather see something completely different for while loading, as I now a few people who get nausea just from the head banging reload animations. That, and it does feel quite awkward. While I personally haven't had any military training or too much experience with any weapon, I'd imagine that most soldiers deployed onto the battlefield are secure enough with a rifle in order to grab a new magazine without having to take their eyes off their target, though please correct me if I'm wrong.

If we do end up getting a reload animation overhaul, then I'm sure moving the screen an inch wouldn't hurt it it's done tactfully, but unless the entire system is revised I doubt the practicality of it, as VoXiNaTiOn says:

then again, the DEVs are probably 5 steps and a half ahead of us and have completely revised the system, waiting for the right moment to strike and lay the .859 version out on us

You can't actually force the movement of the mouse, only the camera, and anyway, the camera will snap back to the standing position's origin so even if the reload animation were to end with the camera off centre.
