Which game has the best reload system?

I liked the active reload in Gears. (+1!)
Now that I think about it, Goldeneye Rogue Agent had some cool looking reloads, especially when duel wielding. They had several different reloading animations and one of many were chosen randomly when reloading.
Actually, someone correct me on this. It's been several years and I haven't played it or seen it since it first came out.

yeah, I agree there, realistic reloading causes you to think, and not just throw away magazines and magically have more, it is challenging and more entertaining when it is realistic.
On a side note: What's with the weapons in practically ALL FPS' having no recoil?
The original Killzone, especially the heavy weapons.
The ISA chaingun with under-slung rocket launcher and the Helghast squad cannon both looked impressive and sounded great; the reload animation was the only good thing about the Helghast weapon really, it was really hard to aim and surprisingly ineffective.
Off topic: Did anyone else notice "For the Emperor", at 5:53?

What? Wait...
You mean to say you can reload the gun you are holding rather than wait for another full one to appear in your hands when you respawn?

Practically all reload systems are the same: you press a button, and your guy reloads, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with FarCry: Instincts, where Jack Carver can reload an SMG with only one hand. How does he do that?
Gears Of War's active reload really does it for me.
If I had to pick another one it would be Black. As someone said before the reload in that is so visceral.

Not my favorite, but F.E.A.R sometimes messed its nailgun animation up. The magazine would fall and a fresh one would conveniently slide up your wrist and click into the gun.
I was gonna bring that up, but it seems I was beaten to it. I also like that you couldn't fire a sniper rifle from the hip, it just felt right you know? Thank you XBL marketplace, Black would have gotten away from me, I just downloaded it like a week ago.Samurai Goomba said:
EDIT: something I would like, although the game would be destroyed by critics for it, would be if it was actually a different button or sequence of buttons to reload each gun. The immersion would go up, because real guns aren't reloaded by a simple button press, but rather a relatively unique sequence of movements. You know what I mean?
EDIT #2: I just thought of another game: Perfect Dark. More specifically, the Cyclone, which you would somehow reload by passing a sheet of metal through the top. Also, the Fareye, which would reload by holding a small orb up to it, which it would absorb.
Gears, feels great, looks great, and has that unrealistic yet rewarding bonus with actives.
far cry 2 / any other game with jamming, deserve mentions for realism.

Gears of War. Sure a damage boost is a little bit of a head scratcher, but it let you get into things without getting too complex, and let the developers put in jamming without relying on an RNG. Random jams in games are always bloody frustrating, especially if it sends you back to the last checkpoint. Even more irritating when you think about it: game guns that don't jam are closer to realism than the ones that jam all the time in games.
Weapon jams are rare in anything even remotely maintained. Most of the time, it's a user fault: I've seen more jams from bad magazine feeds and bad loading of a mag than anything else.

), because reloading doesn't exist. You have a full Flak Cannon. There's a bunch of enemies in front of you. You know what to do.
l4d because you can reload while melee-ing....
I kinda like the way dark sector handles weaponry. you can only use the weapon for a limited amount of time before the gun self destructs. Its kinda fun when you're in a heated firefight and your gun explodes in your hands. You're like "OH SHI-"
