Yeah they do have dedicated animators. It's a team effort but yeah.

Looking at some footage from Modern Warfare 2 on youtube it doesn't look like anything super tricky. It's just an animator who understand the subject material.
At a studio like infinity or whoever makes them now you also have access to great source material, you usually even have physical weapon props on site you can manipulate.

Personally I feel confident I could replicate the look of anything I see here within a day or two per gun.
Doing full body acrobatic animations I usually manage about ~10-15 seconds of really high quality movement in a full workday (16h window).

By comparison having hands move around in front of your face doing a few hand movements isn't as much of a challenge. If anything I'd complain a lot of the motion in CoD appears
too weightless, like the Desert Eagle changes direction and comes to a stop absolutely instantly like it's a plastic toy gun, those are hefty objects.
I've held one of those and it rivals the mass of our service rifle, thing must weight at least 2 kilos. You don't flick around something like that and have it translate around
the wrist with no ease-in-out to it.

Even if you're a built operative you'd twist it around it's own center of mass while the inertia of the mass of the gun frame would wanna trace it's own arc.
Revolver looks a lot better tho. What happened is they prob didn't have a deagle on hand and winged it off a Glock or something but they did have a heavy revolver to record.

>Cod reload animations
The secret to those is being a tacticool faggot who animates reload.
Fuck off with your weapon springing at every move like it's a bunch of jello, you layzuhcats-tier nigger.

>No other game has reached such fidelity in the reloads animation area.
Play Tarkov and try shooting/reloading real guns, retard.

It's motion capture. They get a guy in a suit to reload the gun and then they move the camera angle.

I doubt it is. Mocap is best for fullbody animation but it's a bitch to work with when you need a precise, perfectly timed animation that has multiple variations. Maybe they record some mocap for reference but the animation itself is all manual work.
