Poll: Your reloading habits.

[LitigationJackson]

oh god, im really bad about reloading, i do it waay too often

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

Right after I shoot, no matter the circumstances. Don't know why. Force of habit I suppose.

 

[Slayer_2]

I'm a compulsive reloader. Even in real life, during paintball or airsoft wars, I find myself reloading after every few shots.

 

[thekrimzonguard]

Whenever it's safe, and as soon as possible.

It's a compromise between the likelihood of being caught with my pants down because I've an empty clip, and being caught with my pants down because I'm reloading.
If I've just killed somebody and their pal is 3 feet away looking as though he took exception to what I just did, then I'll wait. Otherwise, Option #1 please!

 

[Chewster]

I'm a reloadaholic, so I tend to do it whenever I can. Naturally, this has backfired on me more then once. It is almost a compulsion.

 

[Awexsome]

I think reloading in games is the closest thing I have to obsession compulsive disorder...

Kill a guy? Reload.
Moving around? Reload.
Force a guy into cover? Reload.

Hell I get a bit restless just watching my friends play a game and run around with 2/3 of a clip left without reloading.

Depends on the Game

Gears of War 1 & 2- Reload after a kill

Halo 2 & 3 / Fable 2 - When it forces me to.

 

[Skeleon]

I reload quite often; after a kill, after retreating into cover, after crouching down, after a wasted salvo...
I rarely ever empty an entire clip.

 

[slowpoke999]

In left 4 dead 2, 5% of the time I am not either reloading or shooting.

 

[Magnikai]

Depends. How many boolets do I have left? Am I low on health? How easily can I die right now? Etc. But I reload when I reload, I don't really pay much mind to how often I do.

 

[Omikron009]

I reload all the damn time. Constantly. After every shot fired if I can.

 

[ray=out]

CoD logic requires most of a clip to kill somebody therefore this poll is invalid, you MUST reload after a kill.

 

[Acaroid]

Alright Escapist, when do YOU reload?

Personally, I'm in the habit of reloading after every kill, mainly because I like having a full clip. But also because of paranoia that I'll get caught with my pants down, reloading in the middle of a shoot-out.

I am getting out of the habbit of reloading after everykill. aslong as i still have more than half the clip i just leave it and wait till it is safe. so many times caught reloading after a kill.

 

[Sgt Doom]

I try not to, but I reload after almost every kill.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

I reload at the first opportunity, usually after a kill.

 

[xxnightlawxx]

I usually reload after I kill somebody or when its safe.

This^

 

[Spiz]

I tend to reload after a few shots. I mainly use a sniper so it's generally safe to reload after firing. If there's multiple targets I'll attempt to take them all out before reloading, though.

 

[Tyrannowalefish_Rex]

Reloading after a kill is the same as reloading when it's safe! *wise insight*

 

[e2density]

I never reload after a kill. Far too many times I've reloaded only to have another enemy pop out...

Unless I am sniping at a safe distance away, I rarely reload after every kill. Usually I'll kill a couple people, and get a sense of how many shots I have left, and see if that will be enough to kill someone. If not, I listen around and reload if I don't hear anything. If I hear someone, I'll pull out my sidearm and go from there.
