this "feature" is stupid. and why would you want to have a server option for it? its not a big deal, just remove the whole autoreload thing

heh i voted and forgot to post :P

I personally prefer the auto reload i mean its not realistic or anything but it really is annoying when you switch guns and have used up all the ammo in the current round, but theres still ammo for the gun left and it does not re-fill.

Not to mention when your in tense situations i have died many a time waiting for my gun to re-load at a crucial point haha

I believe the opposite, auto reloading takes AWAY from the tense gunfights you could have. What fire fights are now, you just keep running around pooring out miles of ammo into an enemy, you never have to find cover to reload or anything

Im with Power-Mad too.

OC should be more about intense and highly enjoyable cooperative HL2 action battles and less about watching npc's fight and placing bets for long stretches of time...or fishing for hours for things that are most likely going to kill you and piss you and everybody else off until the map ends...or being able to play the most worn out maps over and over with an oc kick...am I right?

I'm not saying the joke maps are bad, but they definetly shouldn't be the majority.

We need a majority of maps that give you immersive hl2 coop action. When you're in a firefight with your teammates, you should FEEL like your actually teammates in a firefight, not children racing through a laser tag arena. HL has always been all about immersion. You should want to keep your friends alive, you should be able to rely on them to do the same.

God damn, teaching myself hammer is so time consuming and frustrating!!!!

and auto reloading sure takes away the need for CO-OP and this is a CO-OP mod
