BF2S Forums EA sucks @ making fast weapon reloads!

Yeah? not fast enough? i would like to see you reload a gun whilest under stress and running. good luck

I'm getting tired of seeing you guys flaming people who complain. Knock it off or you're going to be complaining about being banned.

Also, it helps keep some of the "stronger" guns from being overbearing, like the DAO or the rocket launcher.

He didn´t even mention the DAO or the rocket launcher, he was talking about pistols!

I think its to quick, i play airsoft, which the guns use magazines and work just like real guns, and under fire, it takes a long time to reload, i have a m4 airsoft gun and i could never take the mag out, put it in my pouch, put in another and cock and lock as fast as the guy in Bf2 does.

firing firing, 5 rounds left grab a mag out of a pouch.  weapon stops, reload, throw empty mag down shirt or large bag.  It can be done using some of these tiplets ;P

did they give you years of training to play airsoft???

but i do think its kinda funny that with the Sa80-a1 (L85 whatever) he doesnt get the mag into the hole... gets me everytime

hahaha me too, its like a five year old trying to fit the circle block into the square hole hahahaha

mostly, this is to bitch about the pistols. (but you can add others if so inclined.)

i swear to god it takes too f***ing long to reload. it is kinda unrealistic...unless the shooter has sh*tty dexterity or something. instead of slapping in another magazine and just hitting the slide release, he has to take his time to reach atop the slide and manually reset it.

almost idiotic. i mean, that may be easier than fumbling for the catch, but only if you really suck at it, or have thick-ass gloves...at least. (that or you have some serious shellshock, which does happen if you are shooting nonstop for long periods of time. but still....)

but, on the other hand, it's just a game. as long as i know i can reload faster, and more tactfully (and correctly), than a game, then i'm good.

oh well. adapt and overcome.

I hear ya mate.  My problem is with the L85A1.  It's a great gun, I love it, and it's a great improvement over the M16A2 (I've only played medic on USMC come to think of it.  huh.).  But I just find it annoying that the guy fumbles with the clip every time you reload.  He always tries to put it in crooked, then has to stop and fix it, then gets the clip in right.  Just plain annoying.

To everyone who's sitting here and saying that reloading takes forever: Have you EVER fired a real pistol?  Have you ever even held one in your hands?

First of all, I like that BF2 makes you lose the extra bullets in the clip if you reload when not on empty.  I dig the realism, unlike Halo or HL2, where you magically keep the extra rounds (like you're gonna sit there and pull out every extra fucking round in the magazine and put em in your pocket...morons).

But back to reload speed.  Reloading a pistol is alot like riding a bike, in that it's not an easy thing to learn to do, but once you do learn, it's ridiculously fast and easy.  Hit the release, the clip hits the ground. Simultaneously your free hand is going to your ALICE or utility belt and getting another clip, and in one motion (the dry clip and the fresh one in yoru hand pass within a half inch of each other if you know how to reload efficiently, as the dry slides out of the handle and the new one is being positioned) the new clip is slapped in.  Reaching up and pulling on the release is a quick, twitchy motion.  Reloading a pistol takes about 2 seconds, realistically.

They Simulated The 'Proper' Way to Reload a Pistol at 'Average' Speed. Then Mimiced it With Game Characters. Its Fine, Stop Whinning.

You have to stop flaming people in the complain forum dude.

I duno about you, but I save my clips

Maybe they can use the extra metal to save a few bucks on building your casket, then. ;-)

But yeah, if it's an "OHBALLS" moment, I'm opening my mag pouch while hitting the mag release button, letting the mag fall to the ground as I slide the new mag in.  When it comes down to me or him everything goes out the window as far as 'proper' ways of doing things goes.
I think I said it before in another topic, but machineguns have long stoppage drills... normally all that needs to be done to remedy the problem is cock and keep firing

Hell with a stoppage drill. Should be able to use our own weapons in the tops of HMMWV's, too...the 50 cal overheats, bust out the pistol and keep firing until the 50 cal is cool again, grab the handles and rock on!

Daily ammo resup? [and i meant magazines when i said clips]

realistically i'd say 'screw that', the amount of time/effort put into pulling out my pistol would remedy the machinegun. (also you can ues one of my patented shortcuts )
in game though, that would be cool... but a little annoying and hard to set up.

Yes, yes I have.  Shot a .22, a .32, a submachine gun, and a longer range rifle.  Could be called a sniper rifle, I guess but really not so much.

Well - there is difference on how you should reload your gun and how you reload in action (when your drill comander doesn't see you )
