It balances class of weapon. Moar ammo/harder hitter but longer recharge timer. It got nothing to do with this thread since every weapon would be affected aka smg, sniper, ar and lmg and very player can negate it.

I really don't understand. Why complicated balance so much when a soo much simpler solution is already in place? This doesn't effect gameplay that much because any player with 2 brains cells know to reload before spenting the last 2-3 shot remaining making it a standard reload time and not a "reward" reload time. This is not even a "make it realistic" excuse because we don't even know how exactly those weapon work since they are in a "special future universe".

Don't compare this to the "enter vehicule animation". That mechanic completly negate the "bailing out a vehicule at the last sec to save your soul" or the opposite if the opportunity shows up. Big difference since you can't negate these in any way.

Stupid. Sorry. That's just annoying.

I would like to see a clip system opposed to the bullet number system though.

they are future guns!

That's what I and a few others proposed a while ago but everyone thinks it's way too complicated.

It may not be massively important, but it's a perfectly valid piece of feedback none the less. Why have you all set upon him?

Guys guys. I know the PERFECT way to solve this entire thing. We could put in a quick time event! It'd be PERFECT!

You're right.

It is a big part of attention to detail in game aesthetics and it would add a minor bit of competitive knowledge depth that encourages players to keep track of their ammunition and make a decision to empty their magazine for quickest damage or reload before firing last few bullets so you can start filling your opponent with rounds quicker.

You keep using those quotation marks. I don't think they mean what you think they mean.

I want them to be called magazines (sounds cooler, rather than realism) and they totaly should behave like they were designed by an advanced weapons production company so fast 'tacticool' reloads I support.

No it isn't, it is opposite of meannignless and many people like to have such details because they matter and add up.

It would definitely be a cool idea, but just think of the nightmare that it would be to:

1. Research each weapon and tweak them individually (animations too)

2. BALANCE each of them. It's going to be a nightmare to figure out what is fair for each of the guns, perks, implants, and all combos in between. One shot in a MCG won't be the same as one shot in a JH, and the TTKs would be all sorts of messed up.

captainkapautz · 2012-06-07, 09:43 PM

Gotta admit, would be nice if they added that.

Vanu could get it to, I mean this shit IS half past the future, so they can easily explain it with some techno-babble about how VS weapons use "energybullets" were the gun inputs energy into the firing camber like a normal gun chambers a bullet, so if you switch mags the "energycharge" stays in the chamber like a normal bullet would, problem solved.

Fail?
They are actually used correctly though maybe too often. But if that was your point, that Princess Bride movie quote is wrongly used so I guess not.

Better chance next time.
