I had noticed that it was possible to reload hide with a dodge, yeah, but not that it was only possible with the forward move. Would you care enough to make a short vid about that ?
This, of course, doesn't make the banal rare Claymore better than the mighty ultra-rare Wraith.
Well sure, I might just make a vid demonstrating it. It'll take some time to record and upload with my shitty internet and I've got some things to do first, but I'll add it here when I've got it done 
I've noticed this a long time ago, when dropping down ledges and doing a roll forward to reduce the downtime of the "deadzone" Since it's not overly useful and doing reload cancels with medigel or powers is much more frequent, I didn't mention this 
Uhm... To clarify: hiding the reload has nothing to do with canceling it with medigels or powers or anything. It's a completely different process, with no influence on reload canceling. They can both be done at the same time, and should be done at the same time for the best result. I'm sure you know this, but there's enough confusion about this topic that I felt like making things clear for everyone reading.
That said, even though it's not overly useful, it's still useful in some situations, as I mentioned in the first post.
Also, nice pic! XD
- To generalize, all characters with a forward roll dodge (salarians, volus, drell, shadow, quarians, etc) can reload-hide with it.
- Armiger turians and collector adept can reload-hide with dodge in any direction
- Drell can reload-hide with light melee
- Oh, the AIU can do it too but I think only with side dodges. IIRC, only one side works.
Obviously, none of these are specific to claymore. It can be done with any weapon with right timing.
Nice to know all this. And yeah, I knew that jetpack dodges could do it and that Drell can do it with rolling forward too. Somehow forgot it while writing the OP XD
But this makes it pretty clear that it's animation-dependant, not race-dependant. Besides, what's that with the AIU only capable of doing it on one side? That would be pretty weird 
That said, obviously none of this is specific to the Claymore. Nor have I ever mentioned or claimed this. The simple fact that you felt compelled to specify this without any need for shows that you have a defensive attitude on the matter, probably because deep inside yourself you recognize the sheer superiority of the High Lord with respect to any other imposter 
Besides, even though none of this is specific to the Claymore, it's still the single gun that benefits the most from this in this game. I guess you could throw the Javelin in too, but due to its firing delay and the inability to choose ammo the Javelin isn't very suitable as a caster's gun, while the Claymore is. So yeah, not specific, but it's the gun that benefits the most from it.
dble barrel HSOl for the first time ?!?
(U mean 2 Points in AR ?)
Nah I go 6 in AR. I've been using a claymore on my BF3 soldier for ages, but I mostly focus on getting FEs with carnage + frags, and the double barrel claymore is like just an added bonus. This was the first time I exclusively focused on a pure double barrel claymore for my damage output, with just some frags thrown here and there, and I have to say, it feels fantastic. The sheer burst damage this setup is capable of dishing is almost disgusting 
Or just use cover to cancel most of the animations, it's pretty neat and keeps yourself safe.
There's no way to use cover to hide the reload animation, as far as I know. You can cancel it, sure, but that's hardly ever useful, since there are tons of ways of canceling it, included the medigel key which is hands down the best, on PC.
