After going through the long ass suicidal animation of loading my mass driver that takes up 2/3 of the screen, if my heavy needs a quick nanohive, top off on his armor, or a needle in his ass, I have to go through the reload again just because I didn't wait that extra second and a fraction. Same issue with my HMG. I wait until the animation completes, but there's .5 second delay after the animation end where the reload is still "in progress". So when I immediately sprint to get to better cover when the animation ends I often have to restart the entire 6 second long reload process again because I did it .25 seconds too soon.
Extremely annoying.

A great approach to what many of us have suggested so far. The progressive reloading seems a relatively simple task of slicing the animation. I hope CCP finds this thread useful, many of us get jumped more than one when reloading so breaking it into 2 or 3 steps would be nice.
Step 1: remove magazine
Step 2: insert magazine
Step 3: chamber the rounds
Breaking off inserting a magazine would allow you to switch to the sidearm and blast a guy jumping you from around a corner, then continue to insert the magazine, then blast another guy with your sidearm, then chamber the round for your main weapon and let lose a hail of bullets on the 3rd and 4th squad member who are all jumping you while trying to reload.
I believe combat would be more fluid with this reload sequence, although switching weapons or to a grenade takes time, it should not make you start from the beginning of the reload sequence. |

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.
Running out of ammo punishes players who spray already. |

Yeah, you don't need to keep the cyclic reload as some kind of "double-whammy". At that point you're just being cruel. |

Back when we were still in closed beta, I vaguely remember having a discussion on this topic - it started off as an overly-simplistic version of this idea, and I suggested something close to this.

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. |

I've noticed it as well. I popped a clip in and sprinted but my ammo was A-OK |

We begin to reload but then do something like throw a grenade, sprint, or jump, and we have to restart the whole thing again.
Progressive reload is based on the progress made during reload. This would allow us to complete certain phases of reload without resetting. So we could take out the mag, sprint, load the new mag, jump, and set the hammer. It seems unreasonable that when I sprint after loading a new mag, I take that magazine out. It's perfectly fine yo! Don't take it out you just put it in!
+1, doesn't make sense that I have to take out the mag twice unless I have infinite ammo. |

The bullets left in the removed magazine should also be gone. This would make players watch their mag more and the game would be more realistic. |

I've wanted this feature in basically every FPS I've ever played. I still don't know why this has never been done in any FPS that I know of. It should have become a standard genera-wide feature by now. |

since this is on topic, I'd like to say that the ammo counter during reloads slowly fills up, which really doesn't make sense when you're replacing a magazine. It should just go to full once you hit the point in the animation where its flagged as complete (giving us a visual cue as well for when to animation cancel). |

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...

I know for a fact that BF 1942 is like that. You have x clips with x bullets, not x bullets. I honestly don't mind that system at all, but that is a completely different request. |
