Fixing the reload animations.
I really hope Bungie fixes the reload animations for the full release.
I played the beta and noticed right away, that the animations were flawed. Basically there are two situations in which to perform a reload:
1. You're completely out of ammunition in your magazine.
Reload procedure: Eject the magazine, put on a new magazine and cock your weapon to load it.
2. The situation calls for a fresh magazine even though your current one is not completely empty.
Reload procedure: Eject the magazine and put on a new magazine. That's it!
See the difference? There's i absolutely [b]no[/b] need to cock your weapon when you still have a round in the chamber. In the beta my character [i]always[/i] cocked the weapon after putting on a new magazine. This is wrong. In reality cocking your weapon with a round in the chamber would eject that unspent round thus wasting it.
It might seem like a small issue to some of you - but for me it would make the whole experience more believable. This should really be in order. It [i]is[/i] a shooter after all :) Otherwise I [b]really [/b]enjoyed the beta. This was my only concern which says a lot about the overall quality of the game!
Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for this topic.

Personally I think any modern shooter should represent this realistically, as you did point out on my own post no one on this forum seems to care about it, and I'll venture to say the reason is a lack of knowledge on how the reload procedure of a gun works([b]not[/b] that I think is something you must know). And when you know is wrong, more or less, you'll care about it when you see it. You and I happen to be on the group where we simply can't ignore this while playing. And I think this could be change for people like us, as people who don't care about it will more than likely still not care about it. For most this will be a small detail, but I believe small details make great games and are a sign of quality. Last, I share my opinion about the game with Chris, it is a fantastic experience! Regards, Ion

Future guns all work like guns in movies do. Over years and years of bad movie mechanics, various things we used changed to mimic what we saw in action movies. It was necessary to avoid confusing people since we became a society that received as all information solely from entertainment sources. The Traveler felt bad for us and gave us advanced technology but we effectively downgraded it for our own use due to our being completely inept. We basically lived in an Idiocracy. The Darkness came and wiped out most of humanity, only leaving the smartest of the dumb. This is why the Traveler is bringing back the dead, wiping all memory and infusing them with its intelligence as well as leaving an intelligent helper in order to guide them.
