@@Oyebadumn Yeah, I think it’s been a very bad year for CoD and Battlefield, which doesn’t surprise me since both games are made by greedy higher-ups that don’t care about their fanbases, and simply just want as much money as possible from them, and unfortunately it works a lot of the time, regardless of how poorly received the games are.

@@ky-1e747 I’m just gonna be a little honest here for a second…those ones are better…maybe not quality wise but the guns themselves feeling good and being overall satisfying…definitely those over this…sorry.
I really don't care about "tacticool" reloads and stuff. (I don't mind cuz I'm fine with either) But good Lord these are the most stiffest reloads I've seen yet in a AAA game developed by *4* studios and with a high budget. Either development crunch killed these devs or incompetence is to blame.
I feel like they had a different team working on the reloads for portal. The bf games previous to this had actually really well done animations. Especially BFV. These seem to be a totally different style or are just really really rushed
Back on Battlefield 4 there's a lot of AK-12 and Ace series, I wouldn't mind as long the weapon is handle the same way. But, those 1942's......there is too many tactical reload for WW2 weapons (probably for a future update where modern soldier wield WW2 firearms) and no stripper clip involved.
The reloads from BC2 are now technically more accurate. But they lost a lot of character, BC2 despite having infamously wrong reloads, has very sweet reloads with taps, twists and pulls.
God, these are awful, even compared to past BF games. It's not that the animations themselves are necessarily bad, but they're just stiff and artificial looking. They lack the fluidity of previous Battlefield Games' animations. Which makes sense, since they removed the signature intertia that the last four or five Battlefield games had. I think the MP-412 in BF4 compared to the one in this game is a good example. New one isn't bad... but it doesn't even compare. PP2000's old reload animation from BF3 was far, far better. Hmm, let's see, G3 is worse, SCAR-H is worse, ACW/R is worse. I like the new 416 animations, never liked the old ones. M16 animations suck. Oh dear lord, AS VAL animations are massive downgrade. Ditto for AN-94. I can't even keep up, these are all just not good. Now that I'm getting through the video I can go back on what I said, these animations *are* bad. Not to mention they did a poor job making nice sounds for the reload animations too, they all sound the same and not satisfying at all. I guess it's pretty safe to say Battlefield's days of having crisp, fluid animations are gone.
I agree. I don't really play these games, but I loved watching the videos of their animations for reference and inspiration for when I animate. But these animations are awful. Seems like the animators were mandated to mimic the style of MW2019 animations (which every game seems to do nowadays), and, well, as usual we get reloads that both look stiff and boring. The animations from the previous Battlefield games were so kinetic and had so much character. Hate that they opted for this style that's already been worn out.
@@tasherxx_ there are some things you can't deny in Vanguard, and this one is one of them... but at least there's better animation than this sh// - Especially when reloading some weapons, like the normal Garand without the extended Mag
I don't understand where the animation team for Battlefield 5 went, it's like they went from a great animation team to a team that tries there best to copy the "tacticool" reloads of COD:MW but they failed really hard, and I really dont think they had time at all on this game compared to others. That makes me question, where did the time go? Like seriously, where did it go to?
And now Mrbightside (who worked on majority of animations on insguncy sandstorm) is now in Infinity Ward. IW literally building the Infinity gauntlet of gun animations.
@@reducedtoatoms327 Yeah I agree, I don't understand how they can brag to everyone about having better graphics in 2042 but when you go back and take a look at BF5's graphics its like you are looking at a work of art compared to a mobile game (2042) I just don't know how they downgraded yet made it even more demanding.
@@Oyebadumn I was on an animation discord and I shared my animations and they literally fucking kicked me for not doing any tacticool ones, or copying Modern Warfare 19... jesus
@@Oyebadumn it had a rule that the animations should be realistic (basically, robotic shaky animations and tacticool 2 mags in one hand magic). Cause it had a "top" animations channel and only complete MW ripoffs were shown. It sad how low first person animators have gone
I'm a big fan of how the M93R is finally modelled after an actual Beretta 93R this time and how the AN-94 has both the canted magazine and the hyperburst when full auto. Hopefully Portal gets further fleshed out and gets more content not only from BF 1942, BC2 and BF3; but also from other games from the franchise like BF2, BF4 and Hardline.
I find it ironic how these animations look like the type you would find in third-person shooters with a first-person view option, when DICE's Star Wars Battlefront series has managed to have both good first-person and third-person animations (even if reloading is almost nonexistent in those games)
These animations are a massive step back from previous battlefields. Also, why are we tactical reloading weapons from WW2? The dude credited with introducing the tactical reload didn't start teaching it until the 70s.
That SCAR reload was JUST about to literally pull off the MW2019 reload by showing the opposite side of the gun first, fucking WOW, barely even trying to hide it.
A ton of animations were copied straight from MW19. Feels like someone told the animators "just make them as similar to that as you can". The M416 animation when you spawn and the M5A3 too, theyre identical to MW19's M4 spawn animation but they look like absolute dog shit, on the 416 the bolt (Eng isnt my first language but it should be called bolt) doesnt even move back and the bullet appears in a completely wrong place
I think if the BF2042 title isn't in the video, i might be confusing the animations for MGS5 or GTA5's animations, they're not bad, but they're second rate, not what you expect from a Battlefield game. The main factor is that the hand movements both the reloading hand and hand holding the gun feel very wobbly and moves in basically all directions like the soldier is just limping the gun. Most of the animations use the same sets from BF2042 guns anyway, adjusted for each gun's magazine placement.
Oof, the stiff and robotic animations on almost every weapon hurts me. It could have been better if they used the original reloads from the original games.
I was never a fan of the older Battlefield reloads but man, most of these are just outright bad. Definitely seems like these were either rushed or outsourced to a less experienced developer
I will always back up the developers and their commitment to such a time crunch. But holy fuck; I hope these get tweaked by good third party animators. These aren’t iconic in any way, they’re recycled as hell. Super stiff and lacking any personality or memorability. Also any military dudes out there, like myself, will be keen to note that the M60 reload just don’t work - “Brass To Grass.” The just won’t feed 😂. Also hate to break it to you, but there’s no M240 out there that holds a nuttsack from the bottom because it EJECTS casings from the BOTTOM - so it’s impossible to hold a drum there. That shit bugs the fuck out of me.
@@terrabnadia1793 yeah I don't know what you're smoking if you think Vanguard is better. Vanguard is like ten times worse than this when it comes to realism/authenticity
Yeah. The reload animations for some reason seems out of place for me. It looks a bit quick and stiff as if it's copying Call Of Duty's reload animations. Overall, the tactical reload animations is okay.
Really glad they kept the two RPG-7 models distinct from eachother with the BC2 PGO-7 equipped one distinct from the BF3 ironsighted one. Also seems they tried to make the reload closer to the 3rd person animation in BC2
Am I the only one who thinks that the gun models look somewhat 'sterile' in 2042 (Portal included)? Same with the animations. They are fine, but all of that looked better in previous titles.
Animations are okay. Can be smoother undoubtedly and maybe less tact reloads for WW2 guns unless modern operators use it. I reckon it is a placeholder...hopefully.
I don’t even understand what is happening with these reloads. They fluctuate from being too lively and too stiff which makes it seem really inconsistent. The MP40 reloads are great examples, those reloads are genuinely abysmal
4:15, i did not know (yet i'm glad to see) that portal mode has a lee-enfield with iron sights (and with its proper 10 round capacity), i thought there was only a scoped 5 round lee-enfield in portal mode
Some of these animations are REALLY GOOD (like the MP443, M416, SCAR) but most of them are stiff Probably because some are DICE animations done by DICE animators and others are animations done by freelancer animators That’s what I’ve heard
You're wrong. The portal mode has nothing to do with Dice, another studio was put on the job. It's ripple effect, previosuly known as Dice LA. They're the studiO that made the BF4 DLCs
@@TheSultan1470MimicFanNum1 who responds to something you disagree with "nO"? You just seem childish and have nothing to say. At least give something constructive on why you don't like mw or sum instead of "nO!".
These weapons were not made by animators. It shows. Every movement is poorly executed, and practically every sequence of a reload, such as magazine out, magazine in, is separated and not blended. A lot of people call these stiff, I would argue for instead choppy. Attention to detail, something Battlefield has developed a small reputation for, is nonexistent. It really gives the impression that Portal was hacked together in about three months' time before the release date.
It's either the animators want to introduce jank into the animations intentionally to make them feel like the animations from the older games or something really went wrong.
In my opinion, without a doubt, Modern Warfare 2019 puts this to shame. They tried copying it up the ass and you can tell, they failed. 2042 has the classic "floaty" animations from the older Battlefields, but with the more "realistic" style of reload animations added to it. It looks absolutely atrocious, Battlefield 1 and V didn't have floaty and robotic reloads, why didn't they make them like that with the realistic touch? What the hell happened?
Yeah, I hate how bad CW's animations are, but these are by far worse. They don't seem to be animated by professional but by amateurs instead, which is disappointing. Oh, and if someone showed me this without knowing it's from 2042 I would think they belong to a 2005 FPS game.
@@cloudstrife2025 Honestly the thing that hurts CW's animations is the inconsistent quality say between the OTs-02 Kiparis vs the XM4 (half ass vs amazingly smooth), and the obvious point of comparison being the previous entry MW:19 just having absolutely amazing animations/sounds for all weapons, everything got an equally incredible treatment. BF 2042 is just mostly stiff and average all aboard which just hurts almost any weapon you use, only a few have something good, but yeah these needs to be overhauled to even be called a remaster of the old animations that look much better.
The reloads are so shaky and unsteady, like your soldier has noodle arms of something. I am getting f**cking soldner vibes from this (but of course, not as half assed) But to whoever did the empty M24 sniper reload, you're doing a great job.
Most of these are actually pretty terrible considering that they are just reusing 2042 animations AR platforms with a left side bolt catch uses the M5A1 animation, also the Tommy gun AK platforms uses the AK-24 animation rig Assault rifles with a left side charging handle uses the SFAR-GL animation Bolt actions with a magazine from BC2 and BF3 uses the SWS 10 animation Bullpups use the AC43 Pistols use the G57 animation etc. etc The few animations that are unique ranges from pretty good (like the P90 reload, P38), to decent (Kar98, DAO-12, PP-2000), to just downright horrible which is most of them (Tracer dart, MP40, MP44, M39 EMR, G3A3, maybe more) Tracer dart is just downright embarrassing because even the model isn't correct and he's putting the dart inside...basically a hollow box MP40, MP44, G3A3 feels incredibly awkward and lacks frames M39 EMR bolt handle doesn't move, shameful display.
So, whats everybodys problem with the tactical reload? This is how soldiers do it. One comment said he wants screaming soldiers and realism but realistic reload is too much? Man, battlefield players arent the smartest out there
You're totally wrong if you think any soldier other than maybe tier 1 operators in a high stress situation manipulate their firearm like this. Go watch some combat footage. Reloads are slow, and not as efficient as you'd think. This tacticool trend isn't realistic, it's all range bullshit.
@@ya_louisiana_bro I wouldn't say they were super realistic (maybe a bit too fast, and weren't saving partial magazines) but yeah, they were better than this tacticool bullshit that every 8 year old watching three gun on youtube thinks is how all soldiers train.
@@obviouspseudonym9345 oh yeah i cant tell how many dumbasses think tacticool speed reloading is how the military does it i both love mw2019 and hate it
I'm just here for the reloads! Though, nothing will ever change my view on how incredibly cursed it is to see them tac reloading...with World War Two guns. That's super cursed. Besides that, pretty good stuff! I won't point out the stiffness in the quality, since as I stated before, I'm just here for the reloads. *Though I'll admit, when he tac loaded that BAR, something in me died.*
This camera reminds me so much of the ARMA games. I don't know if it's because of the shakiness or how close it is in relation to the gun model itself, but I could never see myself being able to pull off fast arcade-y action with this sort of view. I haven't played BF2042, so, if anyone has played it, please tell me if the camera is an actual problem in-game, or this is just a quirk of the video. Thank you for the showcase regardless, Hectorio!
the 1942 animations are so bad they should use Battlefield V Reloads and animations, at least would be a little bit better, just out there you can see that they didn't pay as much attention to the Portal as they make it look, Im not even counting the BC and BF3. DICE scares me sometimes... (NOTE: I love BF, played since BF2 and I know what BF Fans want and like)
yeah jesus fucking christ that game has top tier animations worthy of a 2021 game while this fucking shit comes out and some people have the courage to defend it
no offense towards the DICE animators, but these look like mod/indie game levels of jank. Just because Modern Warfare got praised for it, doesn't mean every game needs to follow suit.
If only they focused on portal mode, game could’ve been awesome. Bring some “modern” improvements to the classics, while allowing the game settings to be really customizable.
You can tell they tried copying the MW2019 style in a lot of them, but it doesn't feel right. A game like battlefield doesn't look right with animations like that, it's hard for me to explain but I'm sure you get the idea
Oh my god hectorlo! You are one of the most amazing and smartest person i've ever seen in the internet...by not buying shittyfield 20-42fps. YOU ARE AMAZING MY FRIEND!

I think the MP-412 in BF4 compared to the one in this game is a good example. New one isn't bad... but it doesn't even compare. PP2000's old reload animation from BF3 was far, far better. Hmm, let's see, G3 is worse, SCAR-H is worse, ACW/R is worse. I like the new 416 animations, never liked the old ones. M16 animations suck. Oh dear lord, AS VAL animations are massive downgrade. Ditto for AN-94. I can't even keep up, these are all just not good. Now that I'm getting through the video I can go back on what I said, these animations *are* bad. Not to mention they did a poor job making nice sounds for the reload animations too, they all sound the same and not satisfying at all.
I guess it's pretty safe to say Battlefield's days of having crisp, fluid animations are gone.
It’s sad to say man, but we’ll never get back bf3 and bf4. Those were good days though, a lot of fun.
I agree. I don't really play these games, but I loved watching the videos of their animations for reference and inspiration for when I animate.
But these animations are awful. Seems like the animators were mandated to mimic the style of MW2019 animations (which every game seems to do nowadays), and, well, as usual we get reloads that both look stiff and boring.
The animations from the previous Battlefield games were so kinetic and had so much character. Hate that they opted for this style that's already been worn out.
im just saying that cod mw2019 is responsible
Which makes them necessarily bad

Yes there is only one reason for these reloads: they are lazy
I:S probably have time while Portal doesn't
You can tell they reuse the same animation for most pistols
I don't understand where the animation team for Battlefield 5 went, it's like they went from a great animation team to a team that tries there best to copy the "tacticool" reloads of COD:MW but they failed really hard, and I really dont think they had time at all on this game compared to others. That makes me question, where did the time go? Like seriously, where did it go to?

Because portal was made by another studio, they probably don't have an access to Dice's old animations.

Why didn’t they just copy paste the old animations it seriously would be better
These stiff animations are just so immersion breaking for me
the BF3 animations WERE stiff though
When someone ask you what laziness is, show him this game, if this is what they gave us, i don't even want to think what they have for us in BF2042
That SCAR reload was JUST about to literally pull off the MW2019 reload by showing the opposite side of the gun first, fucking WOW, barely even trying to hide it.
It's a sensible thing to do tho. Checking if the gun's jammed or not
A ton of animations were copied straight from MW19. Feels like someone told the animators "just make them as similar to that as you can". The M416 animation when you spawn and the M5A3 too, theyre identical to MW19's M4 spawn animation but they look like absolute dog shit, on the 416 the bolt (Eng isnt my first language but it should be called bolt) doesnt even move back and the bullet appears in a completely wrong place
A lot of games did that "turn gun to the other side" type reload for the SCAR before MW19

I think if the BF2042 title isn't in the video, i might be confusing the animations for MGS5 or GTA5's animations, they're not bad, but they're second rate, not what you expect from a Battlefield game.
The main factor is that the hand movements both the reloading hand and hand holding the gun feel very wobbly and moves in basically all directions like the soldier is just limping the gun.
Most of the animations use the same sets from BF2042 guns anyway, adjusted for each gun's magazine placement.

Bruh Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4 came out few years ago and has better animations than this.
Oof, the stiff and robotic animations on almost every weapon hurts me. It could have been better if they used the original reloads from the original games.
I was never a fan of the older Battlefield reloads but man, most of these are just outright bad. Definitely seems like these were either rushed or outsourced to a less experienced developer
I will always back up the developers and their commitment to such a time crunch. But holy fuck; I hope these get tweaked by good third party animators. These aren’t iconic in any way, they’re recycled as hell. Super stiff and lacking any personality or memorability. Also any military dudes out there, like myself, will be keen to note that the M60 reload just don’t work - “Brass To Grass.” The just won’t feed 😂. Also hate to break it to you, but there’s no M240 out there that holds a nuttsack from the bottom because it EJECTS casings from the BOTTOM - so it’s impossible to hold a drum there. That shit bugs the fuck out of me.

Yeah. The reload animations for some reason seems out of place for me. It looks a bit quick and stiff as if it's copying Call Of Duty's reload animations.
Overall, the tactical reload animations is okay.
Wow these animations and sounds are a serious step back from previous games.
new priority for Fps games today
- Copy the 2019 MW tactical reloads and no longer have the same originality
Really glad they kept the two RPG-7 models distinct from eachother with the BC2 PGO-7 equipped one distinct from the BF3 ironsighted one. Also seems they tried to make the reload closer to the 3rd person animation in BC2
Am I the only one who thinks that the gun models look somewhat 'sterile' in 2042 (Portal included)? Same with the animations.
They are fine, but all of that looked better in previous titles.
Animations are okay. Can be smoother undoubtedly and maybe less tact reloads for WW2 guns unless modern operators use it. I reckon it is a placeholder...hopefully.
It’s not a placeholder

The portal mode has nothing to do with Dice, another studio was put on the job. It's ripple effect, previosuly known as Dice LA. They're the studiO that made the BF4 DLCs

These weapons were not made by animators. It shows. Every movement is poorly executed, and practically every sequence of a reload, such as magazine out, magazine in, is separated and not blended. A lot of people call these stiff, I would argue for instead choppy. Attention to detail, something Battlefield has developed a small reputation for, is nonexistent. It really gives the impression that Portal was hacked together in about three months' time before the release date.
For 1942, imagine if they brought the old reload animations back as an easter egg reload.
The ammo box and medid kit from the era's transitions are smooth af

It's either the animators want to introduce jank into the animations intentionally to make them feel like the animations from the older games or something really went wrong.

In my opinion, without a doubt, Modern Warfare 2019 puts this to shame. They tried copying it up the ass and you can tell, they failed. 2042 has the classic "floaty" animations from the older Battlefields, but with the more "realistic" style of reload animations added to it. It looks absolutely atrocious, Battlefield 1 and V didn't have floaty and robotic reloads, why didn't they make them like that with the realistic touch? What the hell happened?
I'm actually gonna say it: These are even worse than Black Ops Cold War.
Agreed
They are. By far. Didnt think it was possible in 2021.
Yeah, I hate how bad CW's animations are, but these are by far worse. They don't seem to be animated by professional but by amateurs instead, which is disappointing. Oh, and if someone showed me this without knowing it's from 2042 I would think they belong to a 2005 FPS game.
@@cloudstrife2025 Honestly the thing that hurts CW's animations is the inconsistent quality say between the OTs-02 Kiparis vs the XM4 (half ass vs amazingly smooth), and the obvious point of comparison being the previous entry MW:19 just having absolutely amazing animations/sounds for all weapons, everything got an equally incredible treatment.
BF 2042 is just mostly stiff and average all aboard which just hurts almost any weapon you use, only a few have something good, but yeah these needs to be overhauled to even be called a remaster of the old animations that look much better.
The reloads are so shaky and unsteady, like your soldier has noodle arms of something. I am getting f**cking soldner vibes from this (but of course, not as half assed)
But to whoever did the empty M24 sniper reload, you're doing a great job.
Most of these are actually pretty terrible considering that they are just reusing 2042 animations
AR platforms with a left side bolt catch uses the M5A1 animation, also the Tommy gun
AK platforms uses the AK-24 animation rig
Assault rifles with a left side charging handle uses the SFAR-GL animation
Bolt actions with a magazine from BC2 and BF3 uses the SWS 10 animation
Bullpups use the AC43
Pistols use the G57 animation
etc. etc
The few animations that are unique ranges from pretty good (like the P90 reload, P38), to decent (Kar98, DAO-12, PP-2000),
to just downright horrible which is most of them (Tracer dart, MP40, MP44, M39 EMR, G3A3, maybe more)
Tracer dart is just downright embarrassing because even the model isn't correct and he's putting the dart inside...basically a hollow box
MP40, MP44, G3A3 feels incredibly awkward and lacks frames
M39 EMR bolt handle doesn't move, shameful display.
So, whats everybodys problem with the tactical reload? This is how soldiers do it. One comment said he wants screaming soldiers and realism but realistic reload is too much? Man, battlefield players arent the smartest out there
Thats just people who got spoiled to MW "realistic reloads" even tho most of the guns in mw arent even right idk man
You're totally wrong if you think any soldier other than maybe tier 1 operators in a high stress situation manipulate their firearm like this. Go watch some combat footage. Reloads are slow, and not as efficient as you'd think. This tacticool trend isn't realistic, it's all range bullshit.

This camera reminds me so much of the ARMA games. I don't know if it's because of the shakiness or how close it is in relation to the gun model itself, but I could never see myself being able to pull off fast arcade-y action with this sort of view.

I like that they take time to put away the mags and to close the guns
the 1942 animations are so bad they should use Battlefield V Reloads and animations, at least would be a little bit better, just out there you can see that they didn't pay as much attention to the Portal as they make it look, Im not even counting the BC and BF3.
