All this time i was doing it the hard way........... d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

I'm pretty sure it is considered an exploit, though...

I haven't seen people do it while in a firefight, only while running around it seems. Maybe it was when they were putting a new clip in the rifle.. I'll have to double check it.

I just do it when I'm bored after spawning, same with hitting teammates with my knife/shovel.

I do it nonstop through the whole map, especially in tfc, since there is no animation....i never stop switching between my rocket launcher and ssg, my Q button is also worn out like gizanked, def a habit of mine i've had for a long time, i hardly notice it anymore.

Yes, 99.9% of the time I die, but there is that 0.1% chance they stick around to see the fireworks up close.

In truth, I switch weapons kinda out of a nervous habit. Helps relieve tensions sometimes. But I also do it just to make sure that Ill pull out the weapon I need when I run into enemies, be it knife or gun. (Mostly knife though.)

It's something I learned to do when playing NS, because I have to have my pistol a button click away when ever my LMG runs outa ammo (which it always does at the worst times).

Btw welcome to the forums Cypher, WH40K rocks, long live Lord Calgar and the Ultramarines!

NAH! Yer all just a bunch of HAXORS! - Hehehe

Actually when sniping doesn't that mean you have to reactivate the scoped in view?

Yes it does mean you have to reactivate the scope once you've pistol rolled so its basically useless. It takes just as much time to pistol roll as it does to use the bolt. Waste of time in my opinion, a good sniper should kill at least one person every three seconds.

p.s. Long live Ezekiel and the Dark Angels Chapter.
