Spas-12: Reloading
« on: November 13, 2006, 12:07:09 am »
The Spas-12 is a great overall weapon. Very tactical, and if well used, can be a very deadly weapon. But a major drawback is the inability to stop reloading. And when you are reloading, if you try to fire, it fires a specific horizontal shot.

When you're reloading, you can't stop. Yes, you can fire a bullet, go prone, or change weapons to stop, but you just can't stop reloading in the middle of loading in the shells. I can see other guns; you have to load the clip back into the gun to fire. But with the spas' unique function, you load in individual shells. You should be to be able to press a button, like the reload button, to stop. It'd be very useful in the middle of combat when you'd like to fire, but don't want that horizontal shot!

Speaking of which, why is that in there? When reloading, if you fire, it shoots directly in front of you. Why can't you aim? Maybe there's a reason there, but I just can't see it.

The spas is my favorite weapon. I'm not saying anything about its stengths or weaknesses, or if it should be powered up or powered down. But I think these are good changes. What do you think?

That was the idea, The messed up shot in the middle of reloading was meant to weaken it a little.

^^^ Are you sure it was intentional?

I agree that you should be able to stop reloading by pressing the reload key again.  But meanwhile, there's an easy way to get the same effect -- tap the grenade key while reloading.  It instantly stops your reload and you'll be ready to rock with an aimed shot.

all you have to do is tap your nade button lightly to stop the spas from reloading... just don't slam it or you might end up throwing a nade ;)

EDIT: Aw someone already said this :(
