Please allow reloading while performing actions like running, and maybe jumping (like BATTLEFIELD 3).

Know what else would be a good idea? The ability to cancel the reload animation with melee. Something. I'm too used to canceling by double tapping triangle, but it takes too long that way.

I want the ability to reload while running, there isn't a reason why it shouldn't be done. "No" is hardly a comprehensive answer.
I'm pretty sure there is nothing about running that prevents someone from being able to slide a magazine into a gun, though it might slow the reloading.
I agree with the OP. CCP, please implement this.

While running yes, maybe at a slightly slower speed than full run. But definitely not at a sprint.

There's no difference. Unless by running you mean walking. The movement options are Walking and Sprinting.

I'm pretty sure if you're not pushing the stick fully, then you're walking. Full push is a run. Press the stick is a sprint.

If not, then my bad.

Nah. Just a difference of speed while you walk.

Please allow reloading while performing actions like running, and maybe jumping (like BATTLEFIELD 3). It is really annoying that I can't do this because In intense firefights I often reload but it gets cancelled because the reloading animation did not finish 100% even though it looked it finished. I also can't think of a good reason why mercs should not be able to reload while running, its an annoying limitation, especially when intense combat might require running to get to cover as well as reloading.

If you think just letting people run and/or jump while reloading is a bad idea, then:
1_ make it a skill
2_ when reloading after a previous reload animation was cancelled, make the reloading animation not have to restart from the beginning, but resume from where the first (cancelled) reload animation left off. If the magazine is already in the gun, its really annoying having to start from scratch.

Thank you for reading.

How are you going to start running when you're holding a huge magazine and trying to cram in into the right slot?

They should disable running / jumping buttons while one is reloading, and force you to double-tap to do the action. This should result in you throwing away the magazine as penalty.

... Sprinting while reloading isn't going to break anything, and it will greatly increase the flow of the game, which is something this game desperately needs right now.

Then disable shooting while jumping,

disable sprinting from a crouch,

disable jumping all together, no crouching, no reloading, just make it the sims.

Don't be that way man. Don't be that guy. Sprinting while reloading isn't going to break anything, and it will greatly increase the flow of the game, which is something this game desperately needs right now.

...allow dropping magazines and ammo while reloading when running?

No.
Yes.

That is all.

The game is too fast paced to not have reloading while running in the game.

^^



I manage just dandy. I think its fine, instills another small sense of battlefield awareness, pick your times to reload, run behind cover etc.

It shows you guys just how much I support this idea.

We are immortal soldiers, we are genetically modified and our reflexes & hand-eye coordination are enhanced to super human levels: we are perfectly capable of reloading while running...you example is weak.

While running, yes. I still see these genetically perfect immortal supersoldiers lean forward while sprinting. Don't you?

Come'on: sprinting, running you know what we mean.
Also if yo don't like it, then don't use it.

Absolutely against this. Being aware of how much ammunition you have left adds an element of strategy to the game. Being able to simply sprint away while reloading instead of looking for cover is too simple.

If you feel it's too simple for you then don't use it,
Faster playstyle players wants it and will use it: you prefer otherwise you will still be play as you like.

We can have both worlds, and achieve a more wider layer of choices, why don't do it?

Also do you want to have more complex mechanics, then support my Realistic Magazine Management proposition ;)

I'm pretty sure if you're not pushing the stick fully, then you're walking. Full push is a run. Press the stick is a sprint.

If not, then my bad.

I DO support your realistic magazine, however physics says no to performing tasks while in a dead sprint.

Faster playstyle players need to realise that the Eve universe isn't about the fastest or biggest. It favors the intelligent and cunning.

I would like to again redirect your attention to this thread

which has gotten some more attention since last night.

-1, Strong.
...We all want Dust to be a better game. Games are usually better when there's no one surefire best way of doing something. Each balanced choice, however small, make different situations and playstyles possible.

(background information: I also hate sprint-induced reload canceling, I oppose reload while jumping, I want to be able to start sprinting from crouch and I feel mercs ARE using both hands to aid sprinting already with rifle swinging sideways)

Seriously? Can't we let this bad idea die?

Looks like I'm out voted on this one though....I'll make you pay when I reload while sprinting spin around and shoot you in the face MU HA HA.

If Dust really wants to compete on the FPS market, they are going to have to streamline the gameplay as it is right now. Simple functions like reloading while running keep the combat fluid and more entertaining.

In Killzone 3 we can reload while running and I never heard anyone complaining.
If everyone ca reload while running then everyone can take advantage = balance.
Reloading while jumping is a NO for me: soldier in real life are capable of reloading while running but jumping & reloading is foolish.

1. This isn't Killzone 3.
2. If jumping and reloading is bad then sprinting and reloading should be seen as bad, too.
3. Everyone should be able to jump fifty feet vertically and sprint at 100 mph. Since everyone can do it = balance. I rewrote this point five times. Can't type it without sounding jerky, so sorry about that.

I like the way it works now. Jumping and reloading, however, should also be a no go.

Want to be faster wear a lighter dropsuit, problem solved.

This game has depth, you can't have your cake and eat it.

if we removes all weaknesses then the game will lose all depth and we'll just have a bunch of 12 year olds running around aimlessly kickin all our asses.

tactics give the thinking man a edge.

You have to think about some of the complex mechanisms on the weapons that are required for reload, While it would make it simple to reload whilst running, reloading a high caliber sniper while at a full sprint is something I have yet to see (in real life, or anywhere else to make your claims valid other than "it's in this other game" )

so... your shutting down this idea because of some irrational fear of being out-gunned in a video game by a minor?

oh my word. what has this world come to?

I wonder how many others think "reload while sprinting" is like the video game version of "free candy and ice cream"? So preposterous.

***EDIT***
I have managed to deviously trick most of you into thinking that reloading while jumping should added when in fact, it's already in place. The reason is to prove a point and see how people would react about adding it(as if it wasn't there). Reloading while jumping didn't ruin the game, so why would reloading while running?
