I've been playing CoD4 long enough to know about how many shots I need, with my average accuracy, to kill someone with my favorite few weapons. around 15 with P90, 10 with MP5, etc. I reload if I'm below that amount.

i hate myself for always reloading after killing an enemy. sometimes i get caught reloading. thats why i suck at FPSes
I reload only when i'm sure i can make it sure it back fires sometimes but most of the time when i did not i need the ammo that wasn't in my chamber to finish someone.
I tend to only reload when my ammo it is less then 50-40% of a clip. When using something like a SMG where 2 bursts empty a clip quickly, then I'll usually reload immediately after a kill. Sniper rifles though, I'll reload after firing a single shot if I don't see any enemies around.
Hello, my name is Daniel Brown... and I'm a compulsive reloader.
I reload every time I've killed the enemy/enemies that I fought with before.

I'll reload when I think I've gotten a headshot in SWAT only to be proved wrong by facebullets. It sucks.
Also whenever I kill someone and am not in a scuffle I reload, usually to walk around the corner and be shot in the face.

I am a very very compulsive reloader, which ruins my chances when playing something like BF 2142 XD
These days I play Black Ops.
As such, if I am playing regular Team Deathmatch, I will reload often, ( sometimes resulting in my death) due to the number of bullets it can take to kill someone.
Alternatively, in Hardcore gametypes, where it takes significantly less bullets to kill, I will only reload when I think I am in a safe position to do so.

Definitely. Course, I don't play multiplayer games, so I never really worry about dying while reloading, unless I'm in the middle of the fray and not in cover. And originally, I never thought much about it. Then, after playing Dead Space + a few other shooters, I realized it's probably better to constantly reload just in case you absolutely need to empty your clip on something important.
I used to be VERY compulsive, and I still am to a certain degree, but over time I learned the value of patience and if I'm confident the amount of bullets I have left is suficcient for at least one enemy, I don't take the risk, at least not when I'm out in the open.
I avoid reloading until it's necessary or I've got cover, that came from way, way back with splitscreen Goldeneye. If you have cover and you have a general idea of where they are, then it's safe, if you get caught reloading while on the run you're fucked.

I tend to reload after every kill. This used to get me killed all the time, but now I've refined my pistol skills (went 2 weeks using nothing but pistols), and now any time I'm caught reloading I just pull out my pistol and take them down before they even get me in their sights.
Not compulsive, no.
I reload if I know I'm not about to get shot. Better to have a full clip than half of one.
But I'm not compulsive enough to do it when I'm being shot at.
