Poll: Are you a compulsive reloader?

[ThePizzaGuy556]

If the situation gives me a second then im going to reload. I always see people get caught reloading while shooting and then they die and look stupid so i guess im just paranoid

 

[Yureina]

Sometimes. Usually though I go through my ammunition and have the game reload for me. Also, I try not to manually reload in RPG's as often, in order to help my immersion.

 

[DasDestroyer]

Yep, and unless something odd happens, I reload as soon as I kill someone, even if there's more people ready to be shot.

What are you *quickload* talking ab*quickload*out? I would never be a *quickload* cheap guy and just *quickload* load a previous save if I *quickload* screw so*quickload*meth*quickload*ing up!

......Yeah, I often load previous saves, if it's relatively fast and easy.

Also, I am an obsessive compulsive saver. In golden sun I would save, run down a hall and then immediately save again. >_<

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Not really. In games of Bad Company 2 for example I find myself constantly just jamming one round back into the shotgun (which I use on every map at every opportunity) because it often isn't safe to actually reload (especially at shotgun range). I reload only on two occasions: when I'm reasonably certain it is safe to do so or when the situation forces me to.

 

[lacktheknack]

I usually forget, actually.

I thought this was going to be a thread about reloading previous saves. I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED!

Yeah... they meant guns.

I know... I am disappoint too.

I reload after either hitting an enemy or getting a kill. Usually when I hit an enemy they come gunning and those few bullets make a difference.

However on Uncharted 2 multiplayer, I reload if I just fire a bullet. Uncharted 2 has this tendancy to need a full clip to score a kill.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I only reload when I think a fight is over I don't do it after every kill unless I am clipping using a bolt action rifle or pump action shotgun. Those are the only times and in those cases it is beneficial as pump actions take a really long time to fully reload.

 

[Stammer]

If I ever play a shooter, I reload after pretty much every firefight I have no matter what. To the point that I actually really hate watching people play shooters when they run around with a clip that's flashing red or even just slightly less than the maximum clip size for ammo.

Though honestly, I don't think it's ever gotten me killed. Or if it has, then it's gotten me killed way less times than it's saved my life.

 

[GoBologna]

I only reload constantly when the game doesn't really punish me for it. For example, Team Fortress 2 lets you fire while reloading unless your clip is empty. For this reason, whenever I start TF2, I open console and type "+reload". XD

 

[velcrokidneyz]

im pretty ocd about it, i cant use lmgs just for that rsn

 

[radioactive lemur]

Slight of Hand Pro perk FTW!!

 

[HT_Black]

Yes, but I usually have the sense to duck first. My deaths-while-reloading have been reduced to an eigth of what they were since I started doing that.

 

[Kaltazraza]

Ofcourse it would suck if you meet an enemy who just needed one more shot.

[Ice Car]

I figure it makes more sense to take a chance on a reload than guarantee death by running around empty. I've had to train myself to not reload if I've got ammo and somebody's already shooting at me though.

This. I almost never forget to reload after an encounter, but I don't stop in the middle of the open, I try to stay concealed. If someone finds me, I just reload cancel by sprinting and try to shoot/knife them. I've trained myself on the timing for reload cancelling on nearly all the guns, SoH or not.

 

[Light 086]

I've been killed only a few times doing so. I always find a little corner or safe spot(usually near my allies) to reload. It has saved my life a bit more times than it has killed me. I also seen people get killed because they run out and reload in the middle of a fire fight. So I suppose it's all about luck and chance.

 

[mireko]

Yes. So much yes, even in games where it doesn't make sense.

It has gotten to the point where there's no conscious choice involved, it's like quicksaving in New Vegas.

 

[LaughingAtlas]

I reload the moment a battle is over or when there's a breif pause in combat That I do it unconciously would mean, yes, I am a compulsive reloader.
