Poll: Are you a compulsive reloader?

[IamQ]

The worst thing to happend to you in an FPS is if you compulsivity reload when you're carrying an LMG. God, the reload times on those things...

 

[mew4ever23]

In TF2, I have my game set to auto-reload every time I take a shot. Mind you, you can shoot mid-reload in that game.

I tend to reload during pauses in action to limit the number of reloads I need to do mid-combat in left 4 dead

 

[Penguinness]

Yup I definately compulsively reload. Still, I get a few good knife kills in counterstrike source due to people doing the same thing, love seeing them panic.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Always. In any safe zone I will reload, even if only 2 bullets have been fired. I've had kills that have required the full magazine so those 2 bullets can mean the difference between life or death. I have sleight of hand on all my CoD classes so I don't get caught out as much as others, if I do I just pull out my pistol and fire it with my surprisingly fast trigger finger.

 

[stormcrow5]

Depends on the gun, everything outher then LMGs yes but when it comes to them i dont reload at all and often get caught needing to reload when i start getting shot at

 

[monkey_man]

Yes I am. And one of the reasons I like tf2 is due to the auto reload function. (even though I bash "r" every time after a shot)
Also, reloads can be interrupted in tf2. which causes non deaths

 

[SGDeath2]

Every time i shoot, even if its just one bullet, cant help it. Battlefield and OP Flashpoint screwed me with that too with not counting total bullets but mag numbers

 

[isnosche]

haha, reading this it came to me, sooo many times have i died because i had to reload
Counterstrike comes to mind ....

 

[mParadox]

Playing Dead Space does that to you. =\

 

[Berserker119]

I reload after every kill in every game except for Halo. I don't know why.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

Oh my yes: Kill, reload, SHIT!, dead.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

A good way that I have been fighting this problem is using extended mags on CoD, with a LMG. Or playing Bad Company, and using their LMGs. I can kill more people in one go.

 

[shadyh8er]

Not only do I reload whenever my magazine (or is it called a "clip"?) isn't full, but if I see ammo lying around I'll fire off a couple rounds just to pick it up.

 

[Alon Shechter]

Sometimes I push the reload button in the middle of a firefight with an almost full magazine.

 

[Harkonnen64]

Lost a tournament last night because I reloaded at the wrong time.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

I'm shying away from it, there are so many times where i will kill an enemy or two, reload, and in that exact moment that i hit the reload button two more enemies come around the corner in which i could have unloaded those last 10 bullets or so into them to at least get one of them.

(wow wtf, firefox didn't have the word "could" in it's dictionary..)

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

I practically reload after every shot. I can't stop myself, even when I try.

 

[Artina89]

I will reload if I have beaten a group of enemies, like in "Resident Evil 4" I will kill a group of Ganados and afterwards I will reload. I cannot run around without a full clip. It annoys the hell out of me if I watch someone play and they are running around with like 5 bullets in their clip and they can have a maximum of 15 or something. It jut bugs me.

 

[CharlesBronson]

Not only am I a compulsive reloader, I also have trouble in games like Red Orchestra. I dont want a clip left over with 11 rounds in it. I actually prefer to empty the whole clip (Chalk it up to suppressive fire) just so I know that I have mags with a full 30 rounds in them.

Lucky for me most games dont model jamming, or I would be sitting down and cleaning my weapon after every kill too.
