Sniper rifle reloading
Posted: 2009-09-03 23:05
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?
