Speedy reload: Difference between revisions

This glitch is most effective with scoped weapons like the sniper rifle and pistol, and is especially useful in multiplayer. After expending a full clip from a sniper rifle or pistol, the animation is quite long. And in a Team Snipers gametype, this time spent reloading can make a huge difference. Rather than waiting, as soon as the new clip is in the gun, press your melee button/key. Instantly after doing so, you can press your scope button/key and immediately start firing rather than waiting for the reload animation to finish. This is only effective on scoped weapons, excluding the rocket launcher because the rocket launcher has a very long reload animation. With scopeless weapons, you must wait for the reload animation to finish. This might take longer than the regular reload animation rather than part of reload animation ''and'' the melee animation.
