I just saw this tweet in my feed, got me thinking, and wanted to also know what ERA would do.

For me I am: Team reload. Just makes those kills off the reload that much more epic.

I used to wait to empty my mag due to playing a lot of BF1942. However, after playing CSS and COD MW3 for hundreds of hours I started reloading every time there wasn't an enemy close in any game.

Is there a shooter that actually makes you discard unused ammunition if you reload before the clip is empty?

The way video game mags work, I'm reloading after almost every trigger pull, much more economical... Right? Yeah...

My reloading habit is so bad haha, I pretty much do it instinctively after every shot. And it always gets me killed when I have to reload big machine guns.

If there's one less round than maximum capacity, I'm reloading.

Any empty moment not spent maximizing your future chances at a kill is a wasted moment.

Reload your damn weapon you savage

I ain't reloading unless it's near depleted.

Same applies to any genre. I ain't using healing items unless I'm about to die. No breaks!

I hate that I reload after 1 shot and I get killed in the animation. It could be 34/35 and I would reload.

Playing the free weekend on battlefield 5 and my reload curse always gets me with these vintage guns.
Fired 3 shots? Better begin the 10 second clunk fest reload!

If I've tapped the trigger even only for an instant, I always reload right after. I do this all the time. I die due to it repeatedly. I will never learn.

As soon as the chance presents itself it's reload time, it has nothing to do with the ammo you have left.
Stuff stops happening onscreen=reload.

The times I've died in siege due to reloading when I had 29/30...

The last time I tried to take an FPS seriously (CS: Source), reloading constantly was a habit I had to break. Nowadays, I just reload whenever because I don't play any of those games competitively.

Been playing Synthetik where you don't get wasted bullets back after reload. You learn to stop compulsively reloading pretty quick.

I know I've played a game which does this but I can't think what it is. Maybe the first Metro 2033 game?

On the other end of the spectrum the early Medal of Honor games would not let you reload the M1 Garand I think it was until the clip was empty. I believe this was true to real life.

is there a game that punishes you for reloading? Like let you have 100 ammo, a mag is 20 and you shoot one. you're down to 19/20 with 99 total. then you reload and you're at 20/20 with 80 total.
