Double reloading of weapon

[TotalBF2er]

This seems to be a rather recent development (1-2 months) where it seems that every other reload resets itself and reloads again.

This is a big deal, especially since it doubles your reload times at points where you least need it.

So many times that tank or apc has gotten away within an inch of it's life because my AT rocket reloads (I go to fire) then suddenly it goes through the reload animation again - making a 3 second reload now a wasted 6 seconds.

This has happened with other weapons as well - in the middle of a firefight and I'm needing a desparate reload and the same thing happens. It's maddening to say the least.

I've experimented with trying to trigger it again, but can't see what causes it. Someone said that switching to another weapon will cause it, and yeah that makes sense. But in my case, i'm not doing that. I'm on the same weapon when this happens.

Ive found this same problem with all of the bolt action sniper rifles. I think it happens when your reloading and you scope in and fire too fast. Maybe it's the same for the AT rocket.

This is the most common way of dying for me as infantry, especially medic. And it is a big deal, but doesn't happen with ultra-low pings.

Maybe. I've noticed at times that when I try to run after perhaps scope->firing, that the scope comes back up effectively freezing me in place until I unscope again, sometimes putting me in serious danger. I will see if perhaps that is the case - I tend to scope alot since I snipe both infantry and armor from far away now, so need that scope to see them.

This happens quite a lot, I think its been around since retail release.

Ive been sniping so long i can actually judge when that is gonna happen, so it's ok for me :)

Re: Double reloading of weapon

I've played BF2 for as long as it's been out, but it's only recently happened (really noticeable since the 1.4 patch)

Re: Double reloading of weapon

You think the weapons are bad, try gunning. The tv missle reloads twice basically every shot for me. Can be extremely frustrating. I never get that with wepaons except once or twice with sniper rifles. Try playing low ping servers is all i can suggest.

What EAGLE_18 says is true. I have been experiencing double reloads from the retail release. And only on bolt-actions and AT rockets. Nothing new. If you do a SEARCH on this forum or elsewhere you can find posts/threads that date back to just after the release of BF2 about this topic.

Re: Double reloading of weapon

That's great. I'm saying that I have experienced this only recently. I think I know about what I've experienced or not.

Re: Double reloading of weapon

Yeah I'm with the others, I've only been playing since Oct 05 and even then the bolt actions did it. I have noticed its a lot worse on SF though, and thats with all weapons.

You are implying that it is something new. It isnt. Less 24/7 medic on SAK also helps in this respect btw.

I have experienced this also w/ numerous weapons, I believe you have to NOT enterrupt the animation, let it run it's full cycle before pushing any button
