Being one of the people that has seen the original combat timer algorithm gives me a very good understanding of its process.
There is a patch that specificly mentions the "plant & shoot" feature on January 1998 that notes both the first state(plant & shoot) and second state(animation) were modified to be shortened. The patch clearly stated that the initial state was the movement restriction. Running and being able to shoot with a ranged weapon was not possible outside of alpha.
