Favourite reload animation

[SilkySkyKitten]

--The Mantis MAC-11 from 007: Quantum of Solace. Something about the "pull charging handle back a bit, replace magazine, pull charging handle all the way and let her rip" sequence of events puts a nice grin on my face.

--Anytime a revolver is reloaded (some good examples: Half-Life 2, MW2, Black)... do I need to explain this one?

--Anytime the "HK Slap" is used (good examples: Military Sniper Rifle MSG90A1 from Left 4 Dead 2, MP5K from Black Ops or The Conduit). Like the revolver reload mentioned above, the HK Slap is just so badass and satisfying it requires no explanation at all.

From a game? Um, no.

Realistic? Well, again, no.

But good GOD, would you look at this? (about halfway through)


The man's a genius. A fictional, sociopathic genius.

I see your Zombieland realod scene and raise you an Equilibrium scene.


I love the calculated planning. I'm going to need a reload right about...there *slides clips along the floor*.

...Okay that was awesome. I want to see that even more now.

On a related note, those guards down the side had bloody slow reactions!

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.

yeah i like this as well, although i hardly used it in the game

This is one of the weirdest video game-related threads I've ever seen.

Anyway, I'd probably say the Needler in Halo.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Either Young Ocelot from MGS3 when he's using the revolver for the first time...

Or Vincent Valentine when he reloads his Cerberus Pistol in FF7: DoC.

...Pistols rule.

 

[LogicNProportion]

That one where the guy puts bullets in his gun!

That was just totally awesome!

Dude.. That was a girl.

NO WAY!!! Seriously? But but but... they were so flat chested...

In other news, you guys reminded me of a manga/anime called Grenadier. This woman was some sort of magical gun(man?) and she kept bullets in between her breasts. So when she'd need to reload, she'd spin around real quick and the bullets would go right into her revolver.

Trippy series, but totally awesome.

 

[WhatIsThisIDontEven]

Needler because it sprouts spines.
Other than that, probably the Stg44 from MOH:AA

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Monday Night Combat...Tank reload.

Something funny about reloading a jet turbine. After performing a spin attack.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I like most covenant weapons from Halo.

 

[Nightfalke]

The Dual Wield WSTE-M Combat Shotguns from Marathon 2 and Infinity.

M1 Granad... or its This Machine version of it in New Vegas

Resident Evil 4 - the Broken Butterfly magnum

"I see you have an eye for things. Gun's not just about shoot'n, i'ts about reload'n! You'll know what I'm talkin' about!"

Spoiler: video

Someone give this man a medal.

 

[gerrymander61]

Pyro flamethrower because it doesn't have to reload

Over and over again.

Hell. Yes.

Did you know that if you fire one shell from full, you can reload two more? Might be a glitch.

Broke my heart to drop that gun when I got the Heavy Automatic Shotgun.

Oh hells yeah. I love how you'll be like;
'Oh ok I'll just reload...man that was cool, wait why'd it stop? Guess I'll just tap the reload button again and...wait there's still a shot missing, so I'll just re-...WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING!?'

It may be finicky, but it's damn cool.

[SNIP]

Actually, if you really look at the gun, it's kinda like a 6 shot revolver. When you reload the thing, you put a shell into one of the "chambers," cycle it into the barrel, then load 4 more. The 6th, bottom chamber isn't loaded, so when you cycle the mag over one round, you can access it to put a shell into it. If you don't you find that you actually have to pause after 4 shots or so to manually cycle the mag over one round. I've found that the best way to reload it is to empty the thing before you reload, then just hold down R to slap in 4 *before* you cycle one into the chamber, *then* load another 2.

It's an astonishingly complicated weapon, and really shows that the dev's put thought into how it works.

 

[baddude1337]

I really like the little twist in the air with a magazine the guys in 40th Day do when reloading a sniper rifle.

 

[windlenot]

I enjoy the FAL in Modern Warfare 2. I just like how he hit out the spent clip with the new clip.

I've seen scenes for that. Trippy indeed, but fun to look at ;D

Which is why it should have replaced the Revolver as the standard undroppable. I loved everything about that gun, except (ironically enough) the frequency at which I had to reload.
