The only time i reload is when im out of ammo (of course) or if i think all the other players (or AI) is dead...of course this only works about 85% of the time and sometimes a guy comes around the corner and shoots my head off lol...but if my clip is dry and still have enemys near i just switch to my pistol or what evers my secondary and if i run dry there i just cross my fingers and hope no one kills me
I always have to even after firing a few rounds. I got the reloading trophy (Manually reload 150 times) on Killzone 2 on the third mission. xD

Hey, I've been playing shooters for about six years now, and I noticed I reload after almost every kill, which is a problem sometimes. So I was wondering, does anyone else do this?
If not, what habit do you have when gaming? From clicking the analog stick, to gunning the engine in racers.

Most people reload like that, it's just a smart thing to do >.<
I do this, I've also developed a habit of getting as low as possible when I do.
I don't drop shot, I drop reload.

Depends on the game and weapon, or what I'm trying to do (dependent on game as well).
Sometimes its just better to swap to your secondary though if you run outta ammo on your primary.

Its one of those things, I go by necessity.

Such as fire fight around the corner, always be prepared.
I do that in Half-Life one and two, and with any shotgun that loads individual shells. Shoot one load one.
I have a really bad habit of drop shotting even if the person I'm shooting at isn't facing me ._. and I reload after every kill as well . . .
Depends on the gun. LMG with 100 rounds I don't but assault rifles and SMG's yes. When I'm reloading is when the an enemy runs around the corner though.
Happens to me sometimes. It's useful when it happens.
Strange, usually I'm beating myself up for 'not' reloading. xp

I must admit... I do it as well. No matter what it is, if I even let off a few digital rounds and if I'm not currently in combat, I'll reload. It's not necessarily a bad thing as that way my game weapon is always loaded and ready to go... I just have to be careful that reloading wont make me an open target-- which it usually does. Heh.
Usually I don't even realize when I'm doing it... Hitting the button to reload is just a habit.
omg I do this! haha, I'm a re-load addict
