Buggy Pistol Switch?

Post » Thu Mar 31, 2011 3:45 am

I apologize if this is a repost, I'm a noob at forum searches.

I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed buggy switching to pistols after emptying a clip on your primary weapon. Sometimes, my character still goes through half of the reloading animation of my primary before finally SLOWLY pulling out the pistol- to the point that reloading would have actually been faster.

I've also noticed that sometimes, when I have this issue, if I'm clicking to shoot, the pistol will actually shoot despite not being fully pulled out all the way, as if it actually WAS pulled out at the speed i'd expect, but the animation just isn't going through quickly enough.

This is rather troublesome, as having played ALOT of FPS's, i'm very used to insta-switching to pistol if i've emptied my clip, and this can make the difference between a kill and a death. (yes, 1-2 seconds is huge).

Not raging here, love the game, just wondering if others have experienced this or if I'm just crazy.

Yep. Common. Try to pick up a weapon to swap it with your secondary. The animation will briefly switch back to the primary, and then show the new weapon as you secondary. Pretty much everything regarding gun switching, firing and reloading is bugged...

Yup. Very annoying. I remember yesterday my clip on my primary ran out while in a fight and I was just about to bash them to kill them, but my pistol started to come out. I couldn't even cancel the animatio to bash so I ended up just being a sitting duck.

The switch animation needs to be much faster and there needs to be a specific SECONDARY weapon switch option instead of just previous/next
