TEAMKILLER 1 Posted March 14, 2013 So yeah, i noticed today that its a bad idea to stop everytime you change your gun. For example -> walk along a road and switch your weapon while you are under heavy fire. You will stop for 2 seconds till your charakter pulls out his other gun. WHY CAN'T THE PLAYER RUN ALONG AND CHANGE HIS WEAPON AT THE SAME TIME? Sign here! http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=4715 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted March 14, 2013 Well, it just can't :) yet. Until it can (if ever) I guess getting to cover/ground should be done before doing something that takes time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEAMKILLER 1 Posted March 14, 2013 RoME so you go for a walk with a gun? Where do you live in afghanistan LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoboss 1 Posted March 14, 2013 But its true, I'm pretty sure a trained soldier should be able to switch to his sidearm while on the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WanderingSoul 1 Posted March 14, 2013 I haven't really found it to be a problem... Just take cover and swap weapons. The only forseeable problem I could see with it is switching from a rifle to a pistol when out of rifle ammo or vise versa. However, again, if you need to do it during a hot firefight, you should probably be in cover anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEAMKILLER 1 Posted March 14, 2013 Maybe its not a problem for you, but for the majority which has some good situations and dies because of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilrbe3 37 Posted March 14, 2013 You bring up a good point, now that A3 is more fluid and better movements, I see no reason why you must stop to have to switch your main weapon to a sidearm. Only thing I could see a stop for, is to switch to a Rocket Launcher. Besides that, there is actually no excuse now to not be able to switch guns while walking/running. Soldiers can easily do it, and have been for ages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuse 1 Posted March 14, 2013 Agreed. Especially when you're switching from your rifle to sidearm in a hurry as you're basically just dropping your rifle and letting it hang. Pistol to Rifle should take a second longer since you have to holster your pistol first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxiM_PL 1 Posted March 14, 2013 I kinda expected this to be changed from ArmA II since the Alpha launch. I was mistaken, but I sure hope BI will address that in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dallas 9 Posted March 14, 2013 The other thread concerning this issue, received a dev reply saying: With the current engine it's very hard to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuliq 2 Posted March 14, 2013 Seems everything is a challenge with RV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted March 15, 2013 Seems everything is a challenge with RVPretty much; remember how Rocket said that every day DayZ mod was literally hours away from collapsing? That makes me think of any Real Virtuality iteration. :p I believe Smookie did say though that even doing walking-speed-only transition would take up a lot of resources.

Mac 1 Posted March 15, 2013 Im with you on transitioning to the pistol on the move, but not on getting into your gear on the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoboss 1 Posted March 15, 2013 Im with you on transitioning to the pistol on the move, but not on getting into your gear on the move. Yep I agree as well. I mean I can grab something out of my backpack while running, but I don't have 30kg of gear on me :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
