Am I too paranoid?

[effilctar]

Right, I have recently got back into playing Far Cry 2, and I've always seemed to have a habit of always changing my weapons just before missions for a fresh copy at Mike's Bar. I just fear that, seeing as I play on infamous difficulty, the gun jamming can be the difference between me winning the dog fight or me dying. Does anyone else get this on Far Cry or am I just paranoid?

 

[TaborMallory]

I'd say it's perfectly normal. I've got a similar habit where I reload compulsively, sometimes subconsciously in the middle of a firefight.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I do that in most games. I always try to go in as prepared as possible. It means you're normal.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Nope, your just cautious, and a smart player.

Regardless of ammo left in a clip on any game, even when I'm playing online, if ive used 1 bullet I reload

 

[Wheeeee]

You're not paranoid. You just want to be prepared. I always reload before a fight. Its better to have full clip ready instead of risking a force reload in the middle or at the very beginning of a fight.

 

[Merteg]

You should always do that. It could mean the difference between life or death.

 

[Wheeeee]

Regardless of ammo left in a clip on any game, even when I'm playing online, if ive used 1 bullet I reload

Yea, I do that too.

I hate it to run out of Ammo too early in the middle of an firefight so: No you aren't.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Any smart gamer will do this; better safe than sorry, as they say.

I do something similiar to this, in any online shooter I'll always make sure I have a full clip after a dog fight. A few bullets can mean the difference between victory and someone teabagging your corpse.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Nope, that's what I do when I play as well. It's called thinking ahead.

 

[Valiance]

I reload before I turn any corner, and quicksave after every tiny victory.

 

[mikecoulter]

As long as you have an escape route planned, it can usually be okay. But I also, have your paranoia.


Isn't it reallllyyyy annoying?

 

[Xyphon]

In an FPS, I always, ALWAYS reload after I kill someone. Even if I fired a single bullet.

 

[Insanum]

Allow me to be the first to tell you: There is no such thing as "too paranoid."
Ever.

Anyway, that's just smart playing.

2 words. Tin Hats. there is such thing as "too paranoid"

But this seems fine to me. (I'm also a compulsive reloader)

 

[DigitalJedl]

Regardless of ammo left in a clip on any game, even when I'm playing online, if ive used 1 bullet I reload

Yea, I do that too.

Ditto.
Even when I try not to hit the reload button, I end up doing it anyway.

 

[TMAN10112]

I played it on normal and I changed my guns at every chance that I got.

I just recently overcame my obsessive-compulsive reloading habit, which I suffer from in almost every FPS.

That's paranoia mixed with insanity.
To me, anyway.

Too paranoid due to insanity possibly, but still Too paranoid.

 

[chris11246]

that's not paranoid its smart i would probably do the same but ive never played the game.

 

[Jedoro]

Nothing wrong with that. The game's kinda designed for you to buy the guns and get a new one as often as possible, as opposed to picking 'em up from dead guys. You're playing right.
