Poll: Your reloading habits.

[Sunrider]

I'm a chronic reloader. I reload if missing one bullet if I so much as get a second gap to do so.

This.

 

[MetaKnight19]

Usually I'll reload after every kill, or if it is a big firefight then I'll reload when I can find some cover that won't let me get annihilated by a hail of enemy bullets.

Unfortunately, after a kill. I've developed Reload Syndrome. Even if I've only used 3 bullets from a round of 24, I'll reload. I hate my damn reloading habits! Oh, on Mass Effect 2, I reload whenever I use too much of the clip.

 

[Abengoshis]

After every shot. It helps A LOT. Never do I run out of ammo when facing my opponents.

 

[heliosmj12]

I like to "tactical" reload where, even if I fire off one shot I will reload so I have enough ammo to take someone down. This is especially helpful on Online FPS when it can take more than the expected amount of bullets to take someone down.

 

[Olikunmissile]

After a kill. Or at any other point (other than mid fight) when I don't have a full clip.

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

After playing GRAW 1 and 2 I got used to reloading constantly, partly because you used a lot of ammo, and partly because it was so fast.

 

[oppp7]

Mostly when I'm safe. I do it sometimes when there could be an enemy but most of the time I run to cover.

 

[Jamface]

I don't reload, the square button does.

 

[DominicxD]

I reload after a kill then get shot while reloading.

 

[Captain Schpack]

Most of the time I reload right after a kill or before I go into a room/around a corner that I suspect has enemies in it.

 

[smudgey]

I used to reload constantly, but i've been playing Rainbow six: Vegas lately, so that game is helping me break my habit.

First of all, let me say this: I fucking love reloading passionately. Every once in a while, I will shoot a bullet into the air just so that I can reload again. Something about the animations, or the basic concept, or SOMETHING just makes it so much fun for me. Even when I shot a 9mm in real life, that was my favorite part of it all. I wish that game developers would make 10 or 15 different reload animations for every gun, so that I could jack off to my character slapping around that sexy little M4 of his. I am fucking weird, aren't I.

Hey, you're not the only one who appreciates a good reloading animation. I used to do that in Perfect Dark all the time (it was the first game i remember that actually had reloading animations, instead of the gun just disappearing beneath the screen). Come to think about it, does anyone know what the first game to feature reload animations was?

 

[Xanadu84]

I reload in 2 situations. First is when I am out of Ammo. Obviously. Second is any situation where I have even a single bullet spent, and I don't need to possibly shoot right this very second. I CONSTANTLY do tactical reloads.

 

[Indecizion]

After every individual or group i kill, i obviously dont reload in the middle of combat

 

[Unit Alpha]

I reload after every single kill. I can't keep myself from not doing it.

Edit: Ok, fine as long as I'm not going to die doing it.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I reload after a kill or when ever I'm in cover/getting shot at and have to stay down.

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

I annoyingly reload after every kill, and sometimes even if I just firing a single bullet. I can't help it, like its I'm on auto-pilot or something

 

[srm79]

When its safe, and depending partly on circumstances.

Scenario A) Assault rifle, 30 round mag, 7 fired and no enemies with a clear shot on me = reload

Scenario B) Assault rifle, 30 round mag, 7 fired and an enemy shooting at me = keep firing

Scenario C) M240 SAW, 23 rounds fired, 6 enemies still a threat = keep spraying the other 200 or so rounds

Scenario D) AA12 (or whatever it's called) automatic shotgun = BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG ohshi...*die*
