Reloading

[run_forrest_run]

Can I ask you something? Have you ever seen an enemy reload? I've played plenty of games and to this day I've still never seen my opponent reload. In Bioshock a Leadhead Splicer will fire up to 10 shots at me before I kill him, using a revolver! There's instances were an enemy will unload hundreds of bullets in my general direction without reloading. Then I kill him, take his gun and suddenly this infinite ammo blessing runs out and I'm left with 3 bullets. Have you ever seen an enemy reload?

 

[Xvito]

Yes.

While playing Bioshock, in fact.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

They reload in Mass Effect.

 

[NeutralDrow]

"I love to reload during a battle!"

 

[Ironic Pirate]

They do, and it's a great chance to strike.

Bad guys in John Woo movies, on the other hand...

I'm pretty sure I've played some, but most of the time the enemies either don't know I'm there, or get mowed down before they can finish firing.

In the older (not sure about the newer) splinter cell games, enemies ostensibly reload, but it doesn't actually effect whether or not they can shoot. I think it's just an animation they do every once in a while.

I haven't actually noticed the combine reloading. Guess I was to busy quickloading.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Some games they do, some they don't. Most of the times they do reload.

Company of Heroes.

I always wait for enemies to reload (especially HMG teams) before I attack them.

Farcry 2, enemies seem to reload after every shot like they've got one in the chamber and no magazine.

 

[DividedUnity]

Yes. I'm pretty sure in Rainbow Six they shout "Cover me! I'm reloading" So it's pretty easy to tell when to pop out from cover and shoot the guy. Unless the sound doesnt trigger at the same time and hes already reloaded then he shoots you in the face.

 

[Zacharine]

Yes. In Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.

That thing was super-realistic in comparison to most other FPSs of the time, and still shines trough. One shot, one kill, pretty much no matter the rifle, (hidden) bleedout, forget healthmeters or danger indicators... Put on Hard Mode and you can even forget objective markers and HUD navigation aids: Compass and map, baby; better know how to navigate IRL...

Vampire: The masquerade does that.

 

[Cherry Cola]

"I love to reload during a battle!"

"There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber"

 

[Distorted Stu]

Fallout 3. I went into that slow motion mode and blew the fuckers head off while he was inserting a mag into if gun.

 

[LitleWaffle]

Yes.

While playing Bioshock, in fact.

Darn you Mr. Ninja

But yeah, every FPS i've played i've seen people reload.
