The main thing that I'm not sure about is the reload time. When I reload the weapon, the magazine is pulled out and put back, then there is a long pause, and then the chamber is cleared. Is there a reason for this super long pause? It just feels weird and awkward. I can see that maybe you wanted to make people who are reloading much more vulnerable for a longer period of time, but it feels weird. Maybe if there was a way to instead just make the magazine animation take longer instead of forcing a long pause? IDK, that pause just screws with me cause I watch the animation and then assume I'm good to go, but then I cant fire until the chamber is cleared and then I'm all sorts of screwed up.
Also, on an unrelated note, I would much rather have that gun available in regular gameplay than the FR-F1. That .50 Cal gun provides some distinct advantages and disadvantages over the SR8 and PSG-1 whereas that FR-F1 is just a worse version of the SR8.
Here are some pros and cons vs the SR8
.50 Cal pros:
- Stay zoomed in after each shot
- Insta-kill
- perfect laser straight no-scope at any movement speed
- Slightly faster firing rate
.50 Cal Cons:
- longer reload time
- Smoke trail gives away position
- Can only zoom in once
I think if they got rid of the super easy no-scope capability and gave it 3 rounds per magazine instead of 5 then it would be pretty balanced and provide something totally different from the current sniper options.
