Noticed in the patch notes that the Long Reloads and Short Reloads have changed.... and after spending 10 minutes on google, the PS2 wiki and the forums, I can't seem to figure out what exactly these are. Could someone explain to me, what a Short and Long reload is? Played for half a year and never knew there were two different types.
Short reload = reload before completely running out of ammo Long reload = reload after completely empty (adds a "re-chamber" type of animation on most guns)
Like pendragon said. If you reload before going empty, you still have a bullet in the chamber so you just need a new magazine. If you're empty, you need a new magazine, and load a bullet from the new magazine to the chamber, which adds more reload time.
In other words, a pointless game mechanic in a game with a TTK so low, may guarantee your death. Like the bug of having a double reload or reload reset on rockets. 3 seconds is long enough,imagine when it becomes 6 seconds when you're trying to take out a tank, or need that critical shot on a nme Sunderer
otherwise known as the way guns work and apparently batteries edit: mostly just a spoof at the battery thing
