Is there a reloading bug?

[bpickell]

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's put in the game on purpose as an annoyance.

But it seems like every time I run out of ammo it goes to reload and it always first loads an empty magazine and has to reload again. Can someone explain why this happens every time I have to reload. It don't matter what weapon I'm using as long as it takes a magazine. I'm thinking it is worst when using the AK-47, but have noticed it on the M4 and AK-74 as well.

Every time? The only thing I can think of is that running breaks the reload sequence, so you will have to start over again.

It may not be every time, but it is definitely more times than not. And I made sure to check by not running. Cause I knew that running causes you to start over. What exactly happens is he will toss the old mag, insert new mag **** weapon then toss new mag and insert new mag and **** weapon. I have also made sure I'm not hitting the "R" key as well.

edit: ok that's funny that it put stars over it. Ummm what is another word that will work there. You know what I'm talking about. I don't know of any other word that will work there. It's right after he puts the magazine in and pulls back on the lever to load the round into the chamber. It starts with a "C" LOL

You may not have noticed, but the animation is different if you're reloading an empty clip vs one with rounds in it still. Try it. Fire off a couple rounds and reload, he just swaps the clip out. Now empty the clip, he swaps the mag and pulls the cocking handle.

There is a bug where you can skip parts of the reload animation once your ammo bar is full. This bug is most noticeable on the G3.

i have managed to avoid parts of the reload animation due to the fact that even though the animation is going on, towards the end your gun is already loaded, it can cut off around a second on animation on the G3.

All of the weapons have the bug. You can't really capitalize if there were rounds left in the old mag, but you can usually skip the charging portion of the long animation. The G3's is the most bugged. You can skip half of both animations. Just watch the ammo bar.

I dont really need to watch the ammo bar, i just feel when im ok to sprint on and the animation ends with a full ammo meter.

I do that very often with the G3, only to end up not having completed the reload. :p

Guess it's something that needs getting used to. Until then, it's the M14 for me, as the reload "cut" is more predictable.
