Reload changes

Got a great new idea for the game?

Reload changes

Postby TheVeteranNoob » Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:33 pm

I have noticed that while playing and watching others play through youtube, they will be out of ammo, attempt to shoot, and the RELOAD thing will pop up. Instead of the RELOAD thing popping up after you try to shoot when out of ammo, what if it flashed after you hit 0, rather than shooting? It might help people a lot, so that they don't waste their time and possibly die because they are out of ammo.

Personally, I think it's fine the way it is.
You can't kill without ammo, and when you're out, this is the easiest way to be reminded:




SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN SO YOUR MIND IS JOLTED TO THAT IMAGE.



When I'm spraying the SMG, I have a poor habit of not looking at ammo when I'm immersed.
It's a good reminder to what I'm supposed to do, and sets it to my utmost priority.

Also, if you're talking about highlighting the ammo count, it already does it when you're out of ammo.



TL;DR

It's done, and been done already.

I'm a brony, but not too far.

Why I choose to play AOS, and why I stay in it is a mystery to even me. Perhaps, when I grow older, I may discover that reason, and the answer to other questions of this game.

When the RELOAD thing was added quite a few people thought it was too much. I personally think the little click worked. As for those who can't figure it out, Darwinism at work.

Keep like it is now for the RELOAD message. I never saw it as a problem. I have an empty magasine and I face an enemy ? No problem, either I run to cover to reload, or I take my spade or a grenade and I charge

Maybe change the color of ammo counter if you quickly want to know when to reload :
-below 20% magasine : number of bullets in mag turns orange
-empty magasine : number of bullets in mag turns red
-1 magasine in reserve or less : number of spare ammo turns orange
-no more ammo in reserve : number of spare ammo turns red

Example with the SMG :
30:120
5:120
0:120
30:30
5:0

Okay, I didn't exactly seem to get my point across. I already know about the reload thing, but it only triggers after you are out of ammo and have attempted to shoot. I propose that it triggers before you even shoot.
