So slow

[Elemeno.]

why is it switching weapons or doing anything is so slow.?

Is this because of current animation system ?

[Infinity]

no its a choice its not actually slow more methodical than anything else .. just been spoiled with super fast reloads on other shooters..its ment to slow the pace of the game and if u take it into account when in firefights its no big deal. The more you get used to it you hardly ever get caught short

If you are AT get your HEAT rocket out before you get in a vehicle. That way, if you run into an enemy vehicle you can just jump out and it will be ready to go.

battlefield is being CODs.U like that?

brilliant.. out of 3 i got 1 good reply..

i bought this game because it was "true to life" but with the movement and other things it doesnt feel like it,

so that was why i asked... also, got a stupid comment about other games.. please dont waste my time or yours... just serious replies only...

I'm pretty sure they are going to revamp the animations and we do know that a vault mechanic for small walls is coming probably in the next patch. However, the slowness between switching weapons is something that will almost certainly stay for good.

thats a shame , i was hoping it would be a closer to real life speed. same for reloads etc .

Im not 100% sure but I think it would take you much more time to reload or to switch to pistol in real life. Look at some videos from field,they need days to reload or anything to do. Just reloading is like drop mag from gun put it inside your bag, take new mag reload the gun..it takes time.

Reloading isnt as fast as in battlefield. Sometimes you cant stick the magazine in your pouch fast, and stuff. Also, if an enemy is infront of you and you have a lets say RPG In your hand, you would just drop it and grab the nearest gun. But that wouldnt really work in a video game. And switching from pistol to your rifle... You put the pistol in your holster, you reach to your back,pull the rifle to your hands, then shoulder it... That takes time, more than half a second, you know?

Weapons switching is not that slow. I mean it only takes 2 seconds to switch from primary to secondary pistol

You have any real life experience to back that statement up? Even if you had a sidearm on a carabiner and your rifle on a QR sling it would still take you an average of 2 seconds to let go of the pistol, swing the rifle around and up and acquire a sight picture and that's about how long it takes in game.

Reloading also. Yeah with constant drilling you can swap mags real quick, like a second or so but that's when your sole focus is on how fast you can reload. In the heat of things trust me it isn't that easy and you're certainly not focusing 100% on maximizing your reload speed. I've missed pouches, snagged a mag, had a mag not lock, etc. Equipment is tempermental in the desert and you're never under ideal conditions.

Current speed doesn't seem unreasonable at all for an average grunt (which is what this game is "simulating").

Hate to play that card but it seems you've been playing too much COD or BF.

When your hand is trembling from the fear spreading from your spine when the first bullets tear into the shrubbery and hammer into the ground next to you see how quick you can do it.

the big problem i have is switching from main wep to GL.... why does it take as long just to essentially flip up the gfrenade sights

[Elemeno.]

Well , it's not so much the speed of switching , it's more the response of the switch , by selecting the item you want and it has a delay after Doug so ,

[Elemeno.]

But I'm not really caring about that ,
I just hope they fix the movement and make that to life , then I would be super happy
