Poll: Are you a compulsive reloader?

[GBlair88]

The worst is reloading the M249 in Project Reality when I'd only fired three rounds.

 

[Motakikurushi]

I guess I compulsively reload, but not during encounters or after shooting, I like to watch the reload animations during idle moments. Yeah, everybody did this on Fallout New Vegas, just pressing up on the d-pad to switch between ammo types while exploring.

 

[DTWolfwood]

i do this. even in Aliens Vs Predator where you have 99 bullets in the gun i reload after the coast seems "clear" regardless of how many bullets i've actually used XD

Many a xenomorph/predator have slice and diced me while doing so ._.

 

[TheeBassMasta]

It's so bad I'm considering professional help for it.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Depends on the game. In COD? Yes, after every kill. In ArmA? Hell no....

 

[Major_Tom]

Only with shotguns or similar weapons that load one round at the time.

 

[teebeeohh]

it's not that bad in online shooters but for example in fallout (3 and NV that is) i frequently change weapons to make sure all my guns are fully loaded. This was really bad in deus ex where reloading even a weapon with a full clip was possible.

 

[ThongBonerstorm]

ya the slight of hand perk is a must for me in cod, it grates at me. hell i have a real hard time using lmg's because i have to tell myself not to reload after 2-3 shots and it drives me nuts.

 

[hyker]

when I was young my compulsion was that my total ammo allways had to be dividable by the maximum that's in my inventory, so it's like I'm having actual clips
I remember when playinh half-life 1 I allways counted out on a calculater at what ammo do I have to reaload to make it dividable

anyway, yes, I1m a compulsive reloader, it caused me several deaths in multiplayer too

 

[dawdarsd]

yep,that's the cause of 50 percent of my deaths,25 percent when i forget to reload,and the other 25 are just deaths

 

[Owlslayer]

This happens to me really often. I jsut can't stand being 3 bullets away from a full mag...
So i have to reload. But luckily, in MW2, i almost always use sleight of hand, so that kinda solves my problem. But still, sometimes I've gotten myself killed because of it.

 

[Henrik Moeller]

The ammo pool is dumb anyway, all games should have consistent magazines. (You save the magazine if there are still bullets inside it for later use.)

 

[GundamSentinel]

I used to be, but lately I find myself checking ammo before deciding to reload. It improves my game significantly.

 

[Frenger]

Always reload when I get the chance. I tend to run out of bullets in middle of a fight, and that get me killed more often than being jumped while reloading.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Like, if I fired off 1 round in a large clip and I had time, I would reload :3

 

[Korolev]

I basically reload every time I I shoot someone in multiplayer. It has caused me to die many, many, many times. I have a habit of reloading at EXACTLY the worst time - I'll be running around, notice that I have 4 or 5 fewer bullets in the current clip, pause for a second, decide to reload, and then bam, the enemy comes right around the corner.

 

[rokkolpo]

Not at all, 3 kills are a minimum for me to reload.

Or when 100% safe.

 

[EternalFenix]

I ALWAYS reload every weapon I have at the end of a fight. It gets pretty bad especially in CoD Multiplayer when I reload in the middle of a fight when I think that they are dead, only to be killed right there.

It also makes me really annoyed when watching someone play who never manually reloads, but maybe that's just me.

pretty much this OP lol. It has won me many Annoyance Points among my friends with my constant nagging

 

[Cabamacadaf]

I usually reload after every kill. Every time I try not to, I end up running around with about two bullets left in the magazine.

 

[Nannernade]

All the damn time, I always look at my ammo and even if I have half left in my clip I go argh I got to reload I know I won't kill them with this amount of ammo...
