feature request: cs style weapon switch (abort reload)

In cs when you are in reload you can abort it by pressing your switch weapon button. I Think this would be a nice addition to et.

beeing able to abort reload is a good thing imo

why should a person have to finish the action while getting killed?

=FF=im2good4u · Post by **=FF=im2good4u** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 7:57 am

becase the person should relaod at a good moment

turn autorelaoding of and switch to pistol instead

getting caught in a reload is the gheyest thing in ET

and dont say plan your reload. Things happen people pop up around a corner and you have almost 0 chance to react. at least with an abort reload feature the person has the chance to pull out the pistol/mp40. It would make for better game play.

wile we are at it is there a level 2 light weapons reload cvar?

Different.

It would make for different game play.

Different is not necessarily better.

NO!
Look at CS , you can begin attaching silencer and then just switch weapons and you will have it there without waiting , same for bolt action rifles..
And switching in middle of reload sucks most of it , it looks very bad , and without switching you have to reload , not just go go go you CS player...
And perl at end: why you must in CS reload both akimbos when you fire only with one

?

I dunno,reloading is still part of the strategy for et.enemy around the coener,no problem,Ill stop reloading and pull out a panzer in 1 second flat.Gimme a break.

Is ET a multi discipline team game or a smg frag fest you decide

Both.

How about we consider this idea in an ET context and ignore the fact it's implemented in a completely different game? I think that'd be a good idea.

Personally I'm all for it, getting stuck reloading is gay. Considering light weapons is generally locked at 0 these days you can squander a lot of time reloading. We're not proposing that stowing and reselecting your gun reloads it instantly like it did in Deus Ex, or that you'll be able to use it to cancel the animation of removing a silencer or whatever - we're just proposing that, if you're reloading, you have the ability to hit 2 and draw your pistol and not die needlessly trying to pull back the receiver on your SMG. Nothing else would change, you just wouldn't be guaranteed an instant death.

IMO, requiring you to pay attention to your weapon state was an intentional feature.
