There is this key funktion to cock weapons. It's very useless I guess as long as there are no such things as weapon jams. However it's a nice feature and makes the weapon experience more realistic but as far as I know you loose the actual cartridge in the barrel if you cock your weapon (is it really called cock weapon?)
So, it's maybe not a big deal to program it and a feature nice to have.

I think we should probably take it out of the config menu. It makes people think they have to waste an extra key...

Cocking weapons is maybe ok to have, although I never use it. Just make at an INI only option, better than nothing.

What I was trying to say is that it is not waisting ammo yet, but it should

He has a point SB, how can the guns magically keep the ammo in the magazine when you cock the gun?

it was only put in as a request by another member who liked the idea of cocking his weapon before running off into battle, it wasnt made for any real function but entertainment, and it works. it would be interesting to have it coded so that you do lose that one shell every time you cock the weapon, other than that though there should be no changes

'Twas mine.

Why does everyone hate it? If anything, just put (optional) next to Cock Weapon in the input menu.

Plus, it has it's use. On a 2 barrel SG, if you have 10 shells in, then shoot one barrel, if you cock the gun, both barrels have a shell. Not extremely useful, or realistic, but hey...it's SOMETHING. Hell, even the animator uses it!

Do people really wanna REMOVE IT?! =(

If you made it lose a round when you cock the weapon, it would remove the one remaining use for that key, aka rechambering both barrels when you've just fired one barrel from either of the double shotguns.

If you made it lose a round, which WOULD be realistic, you might as well just fire that one round off.

And if we're gonna whien about realistic gameplay mechanics, whn you reload a weapon before it runs out, there should be an extra round rom the one remaining in the chamber when you dropped the old magazine. Two extra rounds for the double shotguns.

Well, some people like to cock their weapons even though it may waste ammo. But thank god I'm not that anal...

ok.. i just like it for animation purposes.. can see how it looks easy :)

Ok the worst thing that could happen is that the cock weapon button is hidden from the config menu. This means you'd have to set it in the .ini if you want it.

The more likely outcome is that we'll put 'optional' next to it in the menu instead...
I'll think(not too hard) about the ammo eating part of cocking, but I don't think its worth the effort and since cocking is mostly a pointless feature that doesn't help you win, it shouldn't have a cost...

The coolest thing about cocking a weapon is in Invasion matches.

*Next wave in... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!*

*Ein cocks his shotgun* BRING IT AWN!!!!

Ehm, maybe for the shotty sidearm, because it's magazine fed, but not for the other shotguns. Why? Because they have tubular magazines, you just slide shels in the gun.

Lies! I have my fire modes swapped on my double-barrel shotguns, and the weapon cock reloads both barrels, and believe it or not, but it's VERY USEFUL. Especially if you're like me and want to conserve ammo. ;3
