Segmented Reloading

[John Jones]

Hmmm. Maybe I was glitched. I was spamming the R key for all it was worth to cancel the reload but to no avail. I'll have to try it out in a less hectic setting.

I think segmented reloading would become dull if it was split more than loading and placing a cap. That could also open the option of recapping instead of having to repeat a reload to troubleshoot a failure to fire.

You can cancel your reload at any time by pressing R.

That makes sense, wish I'd known about it before!

Reloading is a balance between historical reality and game playability. You could introduce all manner of segments to re-loading and make it too realistic to the point of not being fun. I like the idea of the reload animation giving you a sense of how slow it can be, but you can cancel in an emergency. That would seem to be the right balance right to me.
