Time To Kill - Reloads

2 üyeler

Fifth episode of 'Time To Kill', a series devoted to the inner workings and mechanics of Call of Duty's multiplayer.

No matter how large your magazine - sooner or later, you're gonna run dry.
In this episode, we're covering reloads.

Reloading is an unfortunate but necessary interruption in your firepower - it's a nod to realism, where guns don't have an unending pool of lead to spew - but also to weapon balance, where magazine size and reload time can be a differentiating factor between weapons.
Every gun has slightly different characteristics, but can be broadly categorised into two types : magazine reloads, and per-round ones.
Most weapons fall into the former category, having detachable magazines that are switched out during the reload process.
These weapons replenish their entire supply in one action, so no matter how many rounds you've expended, you'll have a full supply upon reloading, total supply permitting.
Per-round or per-shell reloads work a little differently - these weapons generally have internal magazines that are replenished one round at a time.
These weapons can take considerably longer to reload if you need to fully replenish your supply, but do have the advantage in that they can be 'topped-up' at any time, and normally fairly rapidly.
In Modern Warfare 3, only the shotguns have this trait - specifically the KSG-12, the SPAS-12, Striker and Model 1887.
In previous games some of the sniper rifles exhibited similar behaviour - notably the M40A3 from COD4.

For the most part, the main distinguising feature of each weapon's reload is the time it takes - with some weapons reloading in an instant, and others taking a painfully long time.
It's the USP .45 that takes first place in the reload time stakes - at a sprightly 1.625 seconds.
In fact, most of the secondary handguns and machine pistols are relatively quick to reload, with most semi-auto pistols reloading in under 2 seconds, and the automatic machine pistols within 3.
The revolvers are an exception - the MP412, for instance, takes over 4 seconds to reload.
Next up, it's the assault rifles that are the next nimblest to resupply, with the fastest being the ACR, at 1.9 seconds.
The M16 and M4 are similarly quick, at just a little over 2 seconds - and most other assault rifles fall under the 3 second mark, with the exception of the FAD, which is the slowest in its category - at 3.2 seconds.
Following the assault rifles is the submachine guns - although these weapons generally have larger magazines, replenishing them can take a few seconds.
The quickest in its class is the UMP45 - at 2.5 seconds and a reasonably slow rate of fire, its reload characteristics are the most favourable in the SMG class.
The slowest is the PP90M1 - although blessed with a large magazine, it chews through its supply quickly, and takes a little over 3 seconds to reload, which with a short-range weapon could leave you vulnerable.
Sniper rifles and shotguns are in the middle, neither particularly quick to reload - but far from the slowest.
The MSR is the fastest sniper rifle, reloading in just 2.268 seconds - and given that snipers are generally far from the action, such a pause is seldom an inconvenience.
The slowest sniper rifle is the Barrett .50 cal - although this weapon has a very generous magazine, it'll take nearly a full 4 seconds to refill.
Magazine-fed shotguns tend to be fairly slow to reload, with the AA-12 taking 2.75 seconds - and the USAS-12 is slower still at 3.2 seconds.
The others are all reloaded per-shell, with each shot taking about two-thirds of a second to insert - and the process is interruptable - so if kept topped up these weapons will generally pose little problem when reloading.
The LMGs, on the other hand, boast the largest magazine capacity of any weapon class - but suffer from correspondingly slow reload times, by means of balance.
Some are better than others - the LMGs fall into two broad categories: magazine fed, and belt-fed.
The magazine fed weapons - the MG36, and L86 - are slow by most standards, at around 3.75 seconds: but given their massive capacity, reloads can be planned in advance to avoid most trouble.
The belt fed weapons - the PKP Pecheneg, Mk46 and M60E4 - are a little more troublesome - as their reloads are a lengthy process indeed, taking between 8 and 10 seconds to complete.
It's the M60E4 that takes the dubious accolade of being the slowest weapon in-game to reload - at 9.3 seconds, you'll need to find a good hiding place in order to perform this lengthy procedure.
