They added it to the end of weapon switch and not to the end of de-cloak.
Has anyone else noticed when you switch weapons you can't shoot as soon as new weapon is equipped?
It used to be, in my recollection, I could press R1 before the weapon came up and it would start shooting immediately upon ready.
Now, there is a delay. If I press R1 immediately, nothing happens. I must wait and press again. I've lost a few 1v1 that way; while I'm waiting for my SMG to kick in for the finish I get ganked by the bad guy.
Perhaps it is that the only way they could get cloak-n-shoot delay to work was to code they delay for ALL weapon/equipment switches.
I don't know, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But wait, there is no pause in my strafe when it happens so how could it be lag?

When I attempt to switch weapons, the new weapon will be selected for a split second, and then it will swap back to the previous weapon (which usually results in a reload sequence). This never happened to me until recently.
YES!!!!!!
I thought I was going crazy! I switch weapons and go to shoot but suddenly I'm back to the previous weapon and reloading! I thought I was hitting R2 again instead of R1.
And how about when you switch weapons at the end of the clip, just when its about to auto reload, and come up with NO weapon in hand? That STILL happens to me.

OK, after attempting to recreate the problem it appears it may not be as I thought.
I can make it happen repeatedly, but it is not a delay so much as an inability to shoot at all!
If you are TOO FAST at the trigger and can flick from R1 to R2 and back to R1 before the new weapon is at the ready position, the weapon will not fire for as long as you hold R1; you must release and re tap R1 for it to begin shooting. I was able to cycle through both weapons in this manner dozens of times without either weapon firing once.
Ironic. Having fast reflexes with the controller can actually be a BAD thing.

I thought I was just having some really stupid lag issues since I have terrible internet.... The empty hands glitch started just after 1.8 dropped. I started a thread about it back then. I think all this may be part of the same problem. First weapon switch to no weapon,, then weapon switch back/reload and now weapon switch and not firing.
I'm no longer sure it has anything to do with my cloak delay theory. See my last post.
