Reloading your gun will no longer take you out of aiming down the sights in the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
It’s a mechanic as old as the first-person shooter genre itself. Whenever🐼 you’re plinking bullets into a guy, if you run out of ammo you’ll have to take the gun off your virtual shoulder, hold it to the side, and slot in a new magazine. This🦂 often meant your target escapes into cover or has enough time to even start shooting back, and it was the player’s cue to duck under a waist-high wall.
Back when Call of Duty was about World War 2, this mechanic made sense. It’s just physically impossible to reload an M1 Garand while aiming--you need two hands to shove the bullets into the mag. But for modern weapons made with an eye towards ergonomics and battle conditions, t☂hat’s no longer the case. Professional soldiers can keep an M4 ꦉassault rifle aimed squarely at its target while reloading one-handed, with no need to break their aim.
And now, for the first time, you’ll be able to do the same thing in Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
“One other thing we added this year is the ADS [Aiming Down Sight] reload,” writes Mark Grigsby, animation director at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Infinity Ward. “In the past, if you’re ADS, and you’re shooting and you reload, the weapon would go off꧂ to the side, and you’d have to retrain to get to your target. This time if you reload, it stays on the target, so you can stay in the battle.”
Modern Warfare also plans to change the reload animation depending on how many rounds you have left in the ma𒁃g. Previously, reloading always meant the same thing: the magazine is ejected and a new one is slotted. If this was done even when the magazine was only half empty, this meant those unspent rounds would magically find their way into the player’s arsenal.
In Modern Warfare, the animation is actually going to change based o🌸n how many rounds are left in the mag. If only one or two rounds were fired, then the animation will show a “tactical reload” where the player actually refills the magazine with those few bullets. If most or all of the magazine is spent, then the entire magazine is replaced as normal.
