Poll: Your reloading habits.

[ShotgunSmoke]

Right after a kill, even if the clip is almost full. This habit often gets me killed.

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

All the damn time, even though it has cost me my life several times.

 

[ArcWinter]

I reload every second, continuously, forever.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Every time i use ammo or think about it.

Im very OCD about keeping my weapon loaded and ready.

 

[Splitfire3]

This depend a whole lot of the game you're playing! If it as a multiplayer game like Mw2 or CSS or something, reloading is a pretty natural reflex after a kill, but in horde- games like GoW or Resistance or whatever, i'll pretty much always reload when the clip is empty or my ass is safe^^

by the way, CoD rules! ;D

 

[The DSM]

All the time, everytime I find cover and kill, Ive hit reload more times on ME2 than combat drone.

But then again combat drone isnt that good.

Only reload when there is no possibility that an enemy will peek you before you have finished reloading.

 

[cptawesome]

its kind of annoying sometimes cause ill kill someone and then someone will come around the corner and shoot just as i reload after the kill and blow me away. but yeah, i reload after every kill, usually after retreating behind cover

 

[Tomster595]

Right after the kill unless I see or know that there's another guy coming.

 

[Captain Bobbossa]

I reload 1) after a kil 2) if there is a brief gap before i finnsih the kill 3)after a mellee kill

 

[Captain Pancake]

After a gunfight, before I enter a building, when I'm safely behind cover or generally when it's safe.

 

[Rednog]

I have terrible luck with reloading, I get a kill, don't see any one in sight, as soon as that clip comes out a guy blows me away.

 

[PAGEToap44]

I normally reload after a kill. But I tend to find when playing something like COD it's more worth your while killing everything in sight while you can if you'd prefer not to end up wearing your arse on your face.

 

[ZerOmega]

I blast my magazine empty if I have to. As long as there is a one enemy in my sight, I won't reload. After the fire fight is over and the smoke has landed, I reload my weapon.

 

[TylerC]

I reload after every kill...unless there are multiple enemies in range. I always get screwed over when reloading after every kill though, pop out the clip and get killed almost immediately...so...many...times.

 

[ygetoff]

I reload: a) After a kill; b) After a miss; c) The times when I'm not running, jumping, or shooting.

This is actually something I've always wondered, seeing as how I don't own a gun, in real life when you reload, in most ammo clip style guns you have to reload the whole clip right? So you should only reload when it is completely empty otherwise you are wasting ammo clips that are still mostly full right? (unless it's a revolver or something where you can load the bullets individually obviously).
I think in games it might make it interesting that if you reload, instead of ammo boxes, you find ammo clips. So for example if you have fired 3 shots of out 12 on a clip, it has 9 left. If you reload it just switches to a new clip in your inventory and puts the 9/12 clip back.
Might make it annoying but more realistic.
Or there could be some thing where you refill the bullets in the clips individually but it takes longer than a quick clip reload.
Ignore this is if I am completely wrong about this clip business. Like I said I know nothing about guns.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

I used to have a bad habit of reloading after every kill. I got better.

 

[Sephychu]

I like to keep my magazine full, because there is nothing more frustrating than missing a headshot because one lacks the necessary bullet. That's not to say I can't cope when reloading discards the whole clip. I just have to let some headshots go.
