Call of Duty 2

[nonconformist]

Hehe, I knew it had a name.

I've learned to slow it from excessive Counter-Strike playing, from that I don't reload until at least half a clip, but it's still there.

Edit: Though I knew it as "Chronic Reload Syndrome"

Yeah, another sufferer here.

I take a guy out with a headshot, a couple of rounds, and I reload.

But it beats runing out when you're ploughing your way through half a dozen, and have to finish them off with a hastily unholstered pistol, and much whipping.

 

[conquer_dude]

I never run out. I'm an ultra-ammo-conservatist. I usually wait until I have about 3 shots with an automatic, and 1 with a semi-auto to reload. I ALWAYS shoot in tiny controlled bursts. About one bullet and I'll deal with that fool when he gets back up with a melee.

 

[RameNoodle]

I've been a Counter-Strike player before, and, as a result of that, I do a lot of spraying, i.e. shooting toward an enemy, hoping that you can control the burst enough to get either a headshot or enough bullets in him to kill him. Then, I reload, be it 26/30, or 5/30, or even 5/6, as with some guns. By the way, I have CoD2 on 360.

 

[Captain2]

I actually only have Chronic Reload Syndrome if i have a thompson or another gun like that, with a sniper rifle i tend to shoot until it forces me to reload

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Aye, I find that using sub-machine guns I reload after firing, but with rifles or sniper rifles I tend to forget.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Yup, I'm exactly the same, especially with machine guns...

Also, is it some unwritten rule of the genre that emplaced machine guns must be so useless? Even going near one is like putting up a massive sign saying 'shoot me quick!!!'

 

[Captain2]

actually after playing Call of Duty 2 i'm finding the soldiers getting back up after being shot is bothersome, I actually carry a pistol just for the purpose of not wasting my other guns ammo

 

[Maniacal]

Yeah, I would imagine that, I think the health system is still a good start though.

 

[nonconformist]

Aye, I find that using sub-machine guns I reload after firing, but with rifles or sniper rifles I tend to forget.

Trust me, let your sniper empty, and you'll be kicking yourself when two targets line up one next to another juicily, or when you see an SMGer running towards you, and you need to put a quick round in his chest.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Oh believe me, I've been there many a time. As I say, like reloading constantly with SMG's uncontrollably, I'm also forgetting (or worse, ignoring) the need to reload the rifles.

I second that. Shot a guy in the head with an M1 Garand. He gets back up.

 

[Kozmos]

You probably hit him in the helmet.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Aye, I've shot a guy in the helmet many a time, just pings off him, the guy falls, gets up and shakes his head, I shoot again.

I'm a very methodical player, so I take my time in FPS's. It's no bother to me.

 

[RameNoodle]

It's not really a problem, for me at least. I don't mind putting another couple bullets in one of those "Fascist pigs!"

 

[Captain2]

I'm currently on the map where i just got off the beach its called "retreat? just an advance in another direction"

you ever run out of ammo and just grab the gun closest to you? just so happens i grabbed a luger, freaken scary trying to fend off a german attack with a luger

 

[Kozmos]

When germans charge at me I take the bazooka and use the melee attack.

 

[Maniacal]

Imagine a big muscled barbarian drafted into the military and given a bazooka! Look at those enemies fly!

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Imagine a big muscled barbarian drafted into the military and given a bazooka! Look at those enemies fly!

It is absolutely hilarious when you see a bazooka man get a good shot on someone.

One minute they're standing there, the next...

 

[Captain2]

One minute they're standing there, the next...

they're standing next to everyone in a ten foot radius

 

[Captain2]

is it just me or is call of duty 2 during the d-day level severly giving of a WW1 vibe?
