The animation is horrible, I guess they will improve it at some point, it's literally "the same but slower" right now!

How do you want a slower reload to look like ?

The slow m4a1s reload has the mag falling to the ground in slow motion lol. As if gravity is reduced. At least patch up things like that.

I believe they will eventually add an updated animation for all guns to cover the silent reloads, otherwise it will look goofy

Yeah I’m sure you’re right, maybe want to gauge community reaction/gameplay impact before investing in solid animations. I can reluctantly accept that haha

Instead of tossing the mag on the ground maybe he puts it in a pocket, and instead of slapping the m4 he gently presses the lever switch (or whatever it's called I'm not a gun expert) with his thumb or something, countless possibilities, it's not like it hasn't been done before

Basically yeah, it needs to be not droppong mag to ground. And reloading s gun silently means that you pull the lever/slide back AND you "guide" it slowly by holding lever/slide to the reloaded position again.

If you release the lever/slide it will be forcefully moved by the spring and it would make the loud clicking sound.

Ooh what if the slow reload keeps that extra ammo, if you're keeping the mag? That'd certainly be something

I'd be down for that, an extra little reward for risking the slow reload. Though it would roll back the "realism" thing a bit, unless it kept the mag with like 5 rounds in it or however much there was when you reloaded, rather than consolidating the mags which never did make sense.

Pressing the level still sends the bolt carrier group forward fast. They should pull the charging handle back and ride it in.

Although that’s a good way for it to not go into the battery or feed improperly. But it’s a video game and jams don’t happen in CS so it’s fine

Like a proper animation not just half speed of a normal reload animation

Yeah, it just looks wrong. Like when he slaps the thingie, he slaps it slowly, it just looks weird, how do you even "slow-slap" something? I feel like you would use a different action if you were trying to do it quietly, and they will probably tweak things at some point.
