Post subject:  Petition to end long reload times
I've had it with the long reload times in Cortex Command. I don't want to buy a powerful weapon just to use it once and have to wait two minutes to fire it again.

If you're going to make an overpowered weapon, either let it be overpowered, or don't make it so damn strong.

The long reload times suck you out of the gameplay and can make it quite boring and tedious to fight your enemies. They're also unrealistic; I don't care if you have cerebral palsy, it doesn't take a minute to reload a sniper rifle. There are better ways to balance weapons; cost, firing rate, sharpness, bullet velocity, etc. You could even make the weapon itself more fragile. Extending the reload time is simply a lazy and irritating balancing mechanic, which I would like to see put to rest. They add nothing to the game, except wasted time.

So, sign here if you agree that longer reload times do not make for better gameplay.

So basically sign here if you agree Numgun should never ever touch official content again?

Signed.

Go to the .ini's and change it yourself. It's one variable.
If Grif's right, however. I'm totally signing.

On 30+ weapons? No thank you.

I agree.
Takes too damn long.

But then there'd hardly be any need for sidearms. I actually like longish reload times. They make you care about your shots more. One sniper bullet feels much more important (as it should) if it takes awhile to reload.

As for realism: meh. But you can't argue that longer reload times are appropriate for rocket launchers.

This is quite annoying. I honestly dont use those weapons because of the long reload times, even though theyre easy to change. Signed.

It still sucks the fun out of the game.

Note to self: Double reload times with each build on all guns.

Note to self: Strangle Nummy for 10 minutes for every milisecond of reload time he adds.

No, if you don't listen to what the community wants then you are a shitty developer. The long reload times are one of the chief reasons I hardly play CC anymore.
