Once complete using a compass, and pulling out primary weapon (didn't close case of compass, just thought I should say) character animation repeats OVER and OVER and OVER only for others visually, not for myself. Friends asked me while I'm rowing a boat after 5 minutes of walking...
Had a friend use his compass, we narrowed it down to using a compass, leaving it "at the low ready", and switching back to our M4s. Not sure if does this with all weapons. The animation sometimes stops for one person before the other person stops seeing it.
