Rare Reloading Tip

ToxicWarrior · 05-29-2005

I'm fairly sure this is quite a rare tip, but if it isn't tell me and I will change the name.
My brother and I have tested this theory several times on a Slow-Mo movie generator program and we are absolutely sure this stuff works.

All of our research has concluded that when you are in STAND position you actually reload FASTER than if you were in crouch or prone. This helps in firefights because if you are reloading you had better do it quick b4 the other guy or you are dead(unless you get lucky LoL.)

If you guys already knew or heard about this tell me. I put it here because I haven't heard it from anyone until my brother came up with the idea of seeing which position you reload faster in. All credit goes to him...

I knew about it in my head as sort of an "implied" thing, but it seems right to me in text.

That could explain all of my kills...Considering im never crouched/prone unless camping.

Nice Find.

reason for this is because most of the time your running around, if you arent in stand you will automatically go to your knee to reload which can be disasterous in some situations.if you are standing even running you will ALWAYS reload faster without hesitation.i see so many ppl still die when in a firefight and not be in the "stand" position and go to reload, then you see them stop, go to a knee, reload and fall over to the ground dead

reloading in any other position will only speed up the time it takes you to DIE not actually RELOAD

most veterans i would assume should know this and live by this, but good tip for new ppl , especially if it will be the same way in socom 3.

Also considering you stop to reload when you're in crouch plus it takes longer. Standing all the way,

I didn't actually know this until about a month ago. I just really never thought about it.

Maybe it takes less time to reload because the animation of your character grabbing the ammo is shorter. When you lay down, your character always leans and then grabs his ammo to reload. Leaning and grabbing the ammo takes a second alone. When you reload while crouching you grab the ammo quicker, but you stare at your gun while you reload. I usually don't run around in STAND because I want good accuracy, but I'll try it out.
