Revive pack

Delusions of Grandeur.

It was never a glitch. Don't believe me? Talk to Christina Norman who was the Mass Effect 2 combat designer. You can probabaly contact her here via Twitter. Down below are some of the things she said about reload cancelling in ME2:

it's the same that ME3 MP has, just different name
medigel transmitter= revive pack
a consumable to revive the fallen teammates

can we still revive fallen teammates by pressing a key to them?

The only time animation cancelling was a glitch was in the original Street Fighter 2: World Warrior.

That glitch was so cool it became a standard feature in every Capcom game ever made from then to eternity. Nowadays you can find it everywhere, in all sorts of games of all sorts of genres. Have you ever gone from swinging Geralt's sword in Witcher to immediately casting Igni? Guess what, you animation cancelled. Did you ever parry an incoming attack while you were attempting to execute a downed Orc in Shadow of Mordor? You animation cancelled. Have you ever reloaded a weapon in Mass Effect, then taken hard cover/used a power/sprinted/activated a device/used a consumable item? These are all animation cancels, and are so commonplace that to call them an exploit is quite frankly nonsense.

It's a common thing in the majority of games simply out of player desire for responsiveness, she just fabricated a story around hers as if she went out of her way to make animations not need to finish, even though that would have actually required additional effort instead of instant casting the button action that was pressed.

Then she pretended to make up a name even though reload cancelling has been a term since before mass effect 2, and has been in countless games prior to it.

In reality it's just animation cancelling as it works with more than reloading specifically, and is a "feature" in plenty of genres, not just shooters, hence why she's full of crap.

Just because it's commonplace doesn't make it not an exploit, and not lame.

That's actually what she said. Do work on your reading comprehension and spare us your mental diarrhea in the future.

So why involve yourself?

Hypocrites at their finest, oh am I so glad somebody made a new BSN.

Would make sense, as you have no valid counter argument to anything I said.

Well, I think you're full of shit. Do you have a counter argument to that?

People have already presented you dozens of reasons, quotes, and examples in this thread.

But that's exactly what you did. Don't be a hypocrite now.
