Do You Have Constant Reload Syndrome?

[rockingnic]

Yes. Even in CoD with LMGs, I reload after every kill unless I'm fighting still even if I just shot 5 bullets. With LMGs though, I'd run to a relatively safe spot to reload though.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

I always reload when the coast is clear. It generally gets me killed because I tend to keep moving and run into another dude who proceeds to shoot me.

 

[Ben Legend]

Yes, especially in CoD and GoW...

oh and facebook, I constantly reload on that.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Sure do.

Reload after every encounter, and you will live past the next.

..Most of the time.

Yes all the time I cant stop even if I dont kill them on MW2 and they go to last stand I see them go down and just reload it's killed me many times now.

Oh yes. I reload after every kill, which tends to get me killed.

I do, but i often don't see the 2nd or 3rd guy until i've already begun reloading, so i have suffered several deaths because of my habbit.

Oh yes. If I had a dollar for every time I reloaded my weapon only to have some other twat run around the corner and shoot me in the ass, I'd be playing on a XBOX 360 console made out of 24k gold.
...
...
Seriously, I've done math.

 

[Wolfram23]

Everytime I get caught reloading and an enemy comes in sight, I regret not waiting till I'm in a safe spot. I try to reload when appropriate now rather than just as soon as I can. Died too many times with a mag in my hand.

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

Hey, I've been playing shooters for about ten years now, and I noticed I reload after almost every kill, which is a problem sometimes. So I was wondering, does anyone else do this?
If not, what habit do you have when gaming? From clicking the analog stick, to gunning the engine in racers.

When i first played cod i never reloaded. My friend who "tutored" me on how to be good at cod (which did work btw, i am pretty decent now) always yelled RELOAD MIDDLE OF SCREEN NOW! whenever i missed a reload with few bullets left which , when trying to concentrate, put me on edge a lot. Now i reload every time by sheer instinct, like after every kill.

 

[geddydisciple]

I also suffer from obsessive reload syndrome, but i have learned to control it. Now i only reload when i am absolutely sure i'm clear of the last firefight. As for other habits i have developed, in rpg's i tend to hit the quicksave button much more often that necessary. Which is good most of the time but sometimes i quicksave at a time when im screwed no matter what i do and i'm forced to go back to my last real save if i want to keep going.

 

[imaloony]

Yeah, I reload all the time.

Which was a problem when I went through my Urban Terror phase, as that game, when you reload, it takes away a clip rather than a number of rounds, meaning I would run out of ammo in record time.

 

[ssgt splatter]

yup, all the time, but hardly ever get killed in MW2 due to the wonderful break reload technique, saved my butt many times

...And how do you do that?

 

[Dumbfish1]

It's the opposite for me, I leave it unreloaded, with like two bullets in the clip. I have a lot of "Take this you... ahhh crap" moments.

 

[Hazy]

Oh yes. If I had a dollar for every time I reloaded my weapon only to have some other twat run around the corner and shoot me in the ass, I'd be playing on a XBOX 360 console made out of 24k gold.

Wait, you didn't check to see the coast was clear?

You just.. Reloaded? Right there? RIGHT after the confrontation?

Silly...


I normally duck into a vacant area to do it. Much less likely to catch a 9mm treat to the 10-spot.

 

[xavierxenon]

Its best to reload and have a full clip for the next guy rather than a few bullets. I personally reload after pretty much every time I've fired a few rounds.

 

[zHellas]

Always, man! Always...

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Ah, man, this is so me. I feel a compulsion to reload after every kill/encounter. It really pisses me off if I'm using a weapon that takes a while to reload, but I still just do it instinctively...

 

[Some_Jackass]

I reload whenever its quiet. Its a no brainer. If Im in the middle of a fight, I shoot until everything stops moving, if I run out-I switch guns (which as Call of Duty says, is always faster than reloading)

 

[mjc0961]

I don't reload after EVERY kill, but usually after a few, when I think a room is clear. I have my fair share of both "oh crap my clip is dry" and "okay safe to rel- oh crap another one" moments.

 

[TheComedown]

I do this a lot and its gotten me filled with holes on a large number of occasions. The saddest part is i find my self reaching for the reload button after a few bullets from an LMG or even worse games that don't even have a reload button.

 

[Doc Cannon]

Absolutely, and when I tried Dead Space Extraction on the Wii I got my ass stabbed several times because of that.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Yes.

MW2...I Sleight of Hand EVERYTHING that I don't Bling.

 

[Icehearted]

Indeed, always keep the clip fresh.

I reload whenever its quiet. Its a no brainer. If Im in the middle of a fight, I shoot until everything stops moving, if I run out-I switch guns (which as Call of Duty says, is always faster than reloading)

True true, unless it's Gears, then god help you if anyone notices you're locked into a weapon changing animation.
