Yeah, this has been a winding road. Before doing the MPTPSBP I thought we were on top of most anim fixes and additions with dozens of in-place split jumps in the 2.7 Rifle update. Then wanted to keep it super simple so I came up with a single split uni-jump for all, versus all the highly detailed jumps we just made. Plus needing Rifle on back, faster reloads with consistent timings for easier programming, etctcetc. Definitely a learning process what generically everybody(?) wants. Definitely making a real “game” shows what works better and doesn’t. And really, the already included turn in place animations for all angles should look a lot better with correct programming instead of a 45 shuffle loop, but the shuffle loop can keep it simple although with some foot sliding.
But yes I’m going to put your mentions in, they are kinda fundamental and definitely improved. The list of “little” additions/updates seems endless to my boss, I get the stink eye now and then. 
But we want it to be right and work best.
Actually, on the back holster/unholster animations don’t exist yet, not even in the new MPTPSBP. Those are Rifle/Pistol swaps, not Stand to Rifle and Rifle to Stand. I still need to make them, and they will dovetail to the Mobility Stand so the two packs will seamlessly fit together. Oh yeah there are going to be Crouch reloads now too.
I’m in the middle of updating the Pistol Pack to Rifle standards, working through the FBX masters now before I can port to UE4 and do root motion etcetcetc. Lots to do, Rifle anims still distracting me…
We’re going to release Rifle 2.7 (with the new animations, plus dozens of fixes/additions) without the controller since seems to be bogged down. But I still need to make the new holsters and other little things - if they are going to be in this release.
If anyone wants to email me with a purchase email etc. I can probably send you the 2.7 animations in lieu of the official release if you want to check them out. Gimme some feedback, please.

Has anyone played with the MPTPSBP demo? Our friends have been having fun running around fragging, but no feedback yet from the “public”. About 60 downloads so far, let us know.
