Valve say Counter-Strike 2's reloading needed "higher stakes", so you now dump all the ammo left in a clip when you reload early (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Why not just have a limited amount? No one in a fire fight is manually loading a mag unless shit has gone REALLY sideways.

It's not like you're reloading a magazine. It's more like you take the magazine that's in the gun, dropping it on the ground (including the ammo that was remaining in the magazine) and loading a new full magazine.

That part in parenthesis is what's new. Previously, that ammo would have been returned to your reserve ammo.

That actually makes more sense than what I was thinking this said. I don't play many war games, so thanks for informing me!

So is there an option to pick it back up again or is it just lost to the bits after that?

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

It's just gone

Now, when you reload, you'll drop the used magazine and discard all of its remaining ammo.

Gone. Counter-Strike rounds are fairly short and strategic anyhow
