Do You Have Constant Reload Syndrome?

[Abi79]

I have a constant Really Really Really Meant to Reload But Forgot Syndrome (it's quite stressful realizing I forgot to reload, again ). Bless the one who got auto-reload into Team Fortress 2. Took a huge load off my brain.

 

[Ekonk]

Yes. A bad case, too.

 

[mr.aravaro]

Yes in fact last time I Played through Half-Life2 the rebels only asked me to reload once.

 

[-Samurai-]

Ooooh yeah I have this. It accounts for about 60% of my deaths. I just cant stand to see the little grayed out bullet icons!

 

[wkim564]

Yes, Yes I do, but not only after a kill, if I acidentally shoot, reload, if I freak out about an enemy and shoot, reload. Being paranoid doesn't help here. Also, if I didn't reload, my non existant OCD kicks in and I fell like I have to reload.

 

[IamQ]

Unfortunately, yes. This includes LMG's in Cod and the M32 Hammer in Uncharted 2.

 

[nettkenneth]

Yeah, I have CRS and I find enjoyment in it. For example in Quake 4 after a huge fight it felt nice to stop for a second and reload all weapons. Weird, right?

I played a LOT of the Infiltration mod for Unreal Tournament (original), which kept track of how much ammunition was in each of your magazines. Constantly reloading left you with a lot of one-shot mags, and that game REALLY quickly broke that habit for me.

I will reload when my mag is low, or empty, not based on whether I've fired three shots at somebody.

 

[[Gavo]]

On most games, yes.

However, in Project Reality (BF2 mod), where you do away with your old clip, I hold onto the mag as long as possible.

 

[BlainosGhost]

I used to have this problem, but now I smarter with my reloads, I still usually will after ever encounter, but I usually clear an area before I reload, just to be sure.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I reload when i know it's safe... usually after a kill, I know sometimes in online matches in shooters people might think holding out as long as you can without reloading or finding a safe looking corner before reloading might sound like a better idea... but seriously last couple of matches I've played in I've waited in certain areas which look safeish just so i could run around a corner and knife people i heard reloading... got me like 15 kills... over the course of 2 matches... on top of the other kills preventing angry people from getting their revenge on me...so yeah I'm gonna stick to reloading as soon as it is safe-ish to do so. saves my ass and lets me get more killing done

 

[metalcore42]

yes r I r have r r constant r reload r synd r ome. r

[Pyotr Romanov]

Yeah, I do that...
I click the analog stick too. Hell, I even rotate them in half circles, horizontally.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

I do it since half life. I like the thrill of low ammo full clip changing games.

 

[TheColdHeart]

I always reload after i've used some of the ammo even if it's at THE most impractical time to do so. It's a mix between being 'ready and prepared' for the next encounter and strange OCD for having a full clip at all times.

 

[Soods]

I reload after every kill, and if it's unsafe I hide behind something and reload.

 

[natster43]

I always do as well. I'm starting to do it less.

 

[Serenegoose]

I used to, far too much. But that depends on the game, eh? in TF2, the soldier cannot reload too much, with their four rocket clip. I got BC2 earlier, and I noticed that reloading early cost me ammo, so I push it further before I hide to reload. Sometimes, you end up ducking behind a corner, swapping that clip, and somebody follows you and shoots you anyway. Most annoying, but it happens.
