My personal stand point on it is this.

Reloading while Sprinting is a good thing, but for one particular reason.

We're limited on Stamina. Planetside 2 utilizes reloading while sprinting but the player can sprint/jump forever without any cause for concern. In the event that the reason of my team is moving, I wouldn't mind being able to reload so that I'm not lagging behind the rest of my guys and can be as efficient as I possibly can be without having to take cover, reload and then race to meet with the rest of my crew who may very well already be dead.

Reloading while Sprinting is a bad thing as well, for a completely different reason...

It pretty much completely negates any reason to go into the Rapid Reload skill for a weapon as now you can sprint to cover while reloading and turn around ready for combat. This, as opposed to investing hundreds of thousands of skill points to be able to reload the weapon in a jiffy while your opponent fumbles with his magazine because you made the conscious choice to invest in a skill that is entirely beneficial in the heat of combat.

I am quite tempted to agree with you on that.

I dont think being able to reload while running negates this choice. You have the same opportunity to be killed rounding a corner while reloading (especially if its slower while running).

Its one of those things that tugs at your logic while playing. You know you can reload an AR or pistol or even a SG while reloading IRL. Maybe only certain classes of weapons can be reloaded while running because its impractical to reload a missile launcher or heavy machine gun while running. It could evolve into an interesting class game dynamic.

he has got good points. also i like to add that another disadvantage would be possible balance problems. i dread the idea of sprinters reload with shotguns and mass drivers. And reload a Shotgun and Sprinting at the sametime is nearly impossible to do without drop the damn shell. (personal experience) But these are future immortal soldiers so perhaps they got that **** down through trial and error but still it worries me because the choice of shoot, flee and cover is important in combat. Maybe weapon restrictions to sprint reloads and drains your stamina faster making you feel more use for the cardiac regulator.

The Sprint Reload is not a bad idea but i do feel it needs some sort of penalty for using it like faster stamina draining or something. Mostly Spitballing ideas here

There was a big and heated argument on the forums about this a few months ago and my main point was that sprinting is sacrificing everything to run as fast as you possibly can. Ask Usain Bolt to reload a gun whilst running and you think he'll still hit sub 10 second 100m!?

However, allowing a reduced sprint but faster than walking while reading would be acceptable.

This hasn't been forgotten. It is on the current backlog of 'things to do', however we've not actually made a final decision on whether or not we want to do it yet. I'm happy to listen to arguments for and against here :-)

Well a few things I don't want to see make it into the game.

1. Quick Scoping
2. Reload cancelling for a massive advantage.

However the reload while running is not entirely as bad as the two above, however I would rather see reload 'bookmarks' as in you already removed the magazine before you cancelled why remove it a second time when you resume?

Three bookmarks, 1 removal of previous mag (if required) 2 Loading of new rounds 3 Priming gun for action again (if required) this would open up some guns to have more advantage over others ie hybrid guns don't need priming.

I mean how many of you have reloaded while running, as ex military myself they NEVER taught us to do that.

The feature: reloading while running.

Running while reloading is NOT impossible, especially with the muscle memory of an experience of a soldier, or an immortal mercenary with countless lives worth of experience and augmentations. It would be noticeably slower to do while running, but it is possible.
