The sprinting reload is a good idea...

Progressive reload thou, its kinda far from what we do in the battlefield. I mean, we are using magazines. If we were reloading bullet per bullet like a shotgun, we would have progressive reload, btw, shotguns have that feature because you are reloading it bullet per bullet.

As a said, we should be able to keep reloading if we start sprinting in the middle of a reload, but we are talking about animation lock here.

At least the existing animation would need to be broken into two sequences and possibly three depending on weapon type and reload sequence. That is not a huge problem until the number of weapons is used to multiply the workload to solve the problem. Additionally every sequence needs to be passed to QA and verified, then on to the Beta testers then hopefully no more tweaks will be needed.

Still a supremely awesome idea

Hmmm would be nice, but there are also times where I like being able to cancel the reload so I can use whatever was left in the magazine to defend myself against an unexpected attack. I have mixed feelings about this.

I would rather it be segmented progressive, you reload your gun by releasing and removing the Mag, then you insert another, then your lock it in(this could differ between guns) as you pass each check mark while reload if you interrupt it you will go back to the last checkmark you past. so if you interrupt your self while you insert another mag when you restart you wont have to remove the old one but you will have to put the new one in again since you didn't get that far last time.

The reload is a mechanic designed to punish players that spray a lot xD.

If you have to reload in the middle of a fight, you should die. If you are reloading in a bad position, you should die. Running is in my opinion okay to reset the reload because it means once you have someone reloading, they can't just run and turn and shoot within seconds, because the reload is meant to be an opportunity for you to deal free damage.
That said, it wouldn't bother me too much (especially as a HMG player) if they allowed this. But this is being said from my point of view where reloading seems to be one of my only weaknesses.

As of right now I don't know if it's a glitch or it's just me but whenever I'm reloading as long as the reload is just over half way done the reload will finish...
I've tested it several times, reload and once half way done switch weapon switch back full mag... Try it.

Stop right there my friend!
If you want **** to make sense, then whatever was left in the magazine would have to be thrown out. As it stands right now, when you have 30 bullets left in a mag and you toss that mag, for some reason you still have those 30 bullets. That makes no sense.

I agree with what you're saying, but if you want the pros of reloading in steps you should also have the cons.

...On second thought I think I might want those bullets...

Deserves a blur tag.

I don't think you understand the idea. Nowhere does it say you will be to fire after you started but have not finished reloading the weapon. What you described is the crappy way things currently are.
Reread again, carefully.

Hmm and if you forget and sprint into someone without a mag loaded?

Still want
