Favourite reload animation

[SomeBoredGuy]

As the title says, what is your favourite reload animation in any game that involves guns and reloading? What is that one animation that has you wasting ammo just to see it?

For me, it's got to be the Half-Life 2 9mm pistol reload. It's just got some kind of nice rhythm to it, mainly in the sound effects.

Any game that has a machine gun that you have to meticulously open up, with steam dissipating as you unload the gigantic box of ammo and load up a new one.

You might get a few thousand holes shot in you, but hot damn is it a nice animation.

My least favorite would be any game that has you completely drop a magazine full of handgun ammo and reach into your pockets for a new one.

The satisfying click of of bolt action rifles...mmm.. gives me shivers..

I always note games that have errors in shotgun loading animations, such as the loading animation loading several more shells than it takes to fill the weapon.

On Topic I would say that my favorite animations come out of the Ballistic Weapons pack for Unreal Tournament 2004, and specifically the revolver which features a shotgun shell in the center of the cylinder. I do tend to actually favor revolver animations in general, something about flipping out the cylinder and dumping the shells is just awesome.

I've always liked this one >.> Don't know why.

Can't really thing of any others right now. Might add actual good ones once I get some sleep >.<

The Cyclone from Perfect Dark. You just feed another magazine all the way through, it falls out the other side, and hey presto! You get another 50 bullets to massacre security guards/hillbillies/Presidential security/the Skedar/Carrington/whatever you point it at.

Doom 3 Plasma Rifle- I just love the sound it makes.

Doom 2 SSG - nuff` said

the scout pistol reload animation

As much as I loved sneaking about, I had to shoot that bloody thing empty just to see the reload animation.

Over and over again.

 

[Zinthys]

The crossbow from the first Half-Life. So calm and smooth in the middle of a battle

 

[Jazoni89]

Killer 7 has awesome reloading animations.


I also love the reload animation on the 9mm pistol in Fallout new vegas.

So sweet!

Resident Evil 4 - the Broken Butterfly magnum

Haha yeah, this is a SW33T reload. Man's got style, doing it unorthodox. Also, the Black Ops Python reload when it has speed reloader. That shit is crazy!

The Sniper's from Monday Night Combat is excellent, he puts in the clip behind his back.

Indeed that is a pretty cool one, despite the physical impossibility of it; the magazine passes through the trigger guard

OT: I like the PKM reload in Bad Company; in fact, most reload animations in Bad Company are good.

Edit: Wait, I forgot the Kiparis reload on Black Ops; that looks cool IMO.

 

[SnowyGamester]

All I can think of is the needler, since everything else is pretty much standard.

If it's the way he clicks out the previous clip with the new one, I completely agree.

I also like revolver animations, sliding each bullet in individually. Screw your silly speed reloader!
"There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber..." Truer words have never been spoken, Mr Ocelot. Although... I wouldn't know in real life. =P

The bolt action rifle reload in Resident Evil 4.

Leon Kennedy really knows how to finger a gun.

 

[Gethsemani_v1legacy]

The .357 Magnum from New Vegas really springs to mind for me. It makes you feel badass every time you reload it in combat. Or it makes you feel the hurt. Either or.
