Still glad it's gone. Should either be active reload like gears of war, faster reloads, or reloads that pick up where they left off. Anything but what we have. The reload time itself is what's the problem here(the way I see it) and it needs to change for the sake of the game's pace.

I don't miss it. Even if Bioware said it was intentional, it felt like a cheat. It was an extra hassle to use. It was basically a noob tax on DPS. It wasn't a matter of skill, it was just a matter of whether you knew about it or not. It wasn't fair to the people who didn't.
I think what people really mean is they want to be able to shoot sooner with slow-reloading weapons. Well, duh. Biower knows and gave them that speed anyway.

Reload cancel is a part of a lot of modern shooters now. The loss of this just lowers the ceiling of top level play, which is a fun way to add legs to the game.

I wouldn't have minded the loss of reload cancel so much if the new reload didn't get interrupted by everything from taking damage to a single petal falling down from a cherry tree in a Japanese garden a few light years away from Andromeda. Suck it, reloads.

I don't really miss reload canceling to be honest (and I could do it as fluently as anyone), but I do miss the short reload times. Now it's so easy to get interrupted, and longer reload times just break the flow of play and add more downtime. Too rarely do game developers stop to think: "What does this mechanic add to the game? How does this make the game more fun to play?" DOOM should've been a good reminder to game devs that reloading is so 2015. Sadly, Biower didn't pay attention. Reload cancel is a part of a lot of modern shooters now. The loss of this just lowers the ceiling of top level play, which is a fun way to add legs to the game. I don't think it added much to the ceiling considering how easy it was on PC at least.

I love sniping back in ME3 MP even the regular reload speed is faster then in MEA MP its frustrating to say the least. I did some testing with the Vanquisher 3 a weapon i never used before was using the Widow 9. And boy...i ended up first all gold medals thing is you can kill up to 3 or 4 mooks with one clip its ridiculous pumping lots of DPS in short amount of time. So i went back to the Widow 9 and ended up last the whole team used Vanquishers literally of which one of them was an female infiltrator the rest was non infiltrators...this is not about scores but shows you the lack of treat from single shot snipers.
By the time you reload which takes a god damn LONG time with the Widow the Vanquisher already killed 3 to 4 mooks how is that balanced? In a objective like upload i could hardly reload since everything interrupts your reload sure i could fire once in a while but ending up using energy drain and grenades plus wasting pretty much all my ammo packs...
After you get revived from a infiltrator interesting notion because sometimes you get a cloak from the revive i reload BUT there is no audio cue and i aim...but no damn bullet so reload again painfully cuz you get interrupted again...
Its a SHITTY mechanic solution would be for single shot snipers cut the damn reload speed by half or a percentage that is noticeable faster by a fair/large margin and without the gimmicky interruptions.
As of yet i hardly see any one using single shot snipers and i know why this is not because they suck its because the reload speed is bad.

And the point of comparing damage to ME3 is exactly what? It might do more damage than some random gun in BF1, too. I've been testing health levels of enemies on gold and the enemies have slightly higher levels to what they had in me3. Cerberus assualt trooper on gold: 1687.5 Outlaw Raider on gold: 2100 Nemesis on gold: Shields: 1940 health: 1180 Sharpshooter on gold: Shields: 2050 health 1350 (They are rough numbers from testing with weapons) If the gun is in both games, has almost the same damage and enemies have comparable health then it is a fair comparison. The widow was considered a very decent gun in me3 but it considered to be crap in MEA because it can't reload cancel. If everything were perfectly equal, your conclusion would still be wrong. It isn't strictly because of the lack of reload canceling (if that was your thing). The widow was my favorite weapon in ME3, and I never felt the need to abuse an unintended feature to do just fine with it. You could more easily reposition or stun an enemy to give yourself time to reload. In ME:A, the enemies are more aggressive. There's constantly a dog nipping at your ankles. Evasive action cancels reload. You can dash 10 feet away and around a corner, and before you can reload, that same enemy will be back in your face, or something else will flank your new position. How far away do you have to get in order to reload with an enraged Krogan on your ass? Without people backing you up, using the window can be a lesson in frustration in ME:A. To add to that, you have every other person using a semi-auto op sniper with 4+ rounds to fire without a reload.

Yeah reload cancelling was intentionally put in ME3 and a developer even commented about it, saying that she didn't understand why they would put this in the game but the other team members insisted. Later she understood why.
The widow has about a 2.5 second reload in ME3 with a RC and the widow has a 4.2 second reload in ME:A. It wasn't necessary to reload cancel in ME3, but it really is in ME:A with all the rushing melee enemies. My argument is that there are more enemies now and a lot more enemies that rush you, so either we need to be able to reload cancel or the reload needs to be reduced. Probably won't happen though, bioware never changed the utility stats like reload, accuracy and recoil of weapons and only changed the damage levels.

Because I sure do love just standing around with my metaphorical dick in my hand and a thumb up my ass for good measure while waiting for the gun to reload. Made the mistake once of thinking it had fully reloaded and started running because, you know, people were shooting at me... only to realize I canceled the long-ass reload animation and was back to zero bullets again. That's fun gameplay. ... then the queen of BSN you are not I thought dragonracer was the queen of BSN? I am simply DragonRacer. Ethereal. I have always been and always shall be.
