Why not both?

>>379449108

>>379449003
Faster reload.
I'm a compulsive reloader in games unless it's one of those handful of games that makes you lose the bullets in your magazine when you reload. So I get faster reload on everything.

>>379449247
It's a bad thing when you are the heavy gunner, you need to sustain your fire

>>379449003
faster reload
some games have shot actions and animations between the next shot(since the gun is powerful) that take longer to finish than a quicker reload
its a cheap way to increase rate of fire

You're going to reload after each kill with bullets remaining anyway, that's just how everyone plays.
Faster reload it is.

This is a casual argument and only casuals want either option. I only need 6 bullets, and I love to reload during a battle.

Depends on clip size.
>Small clip
Faster reload,
>Big clip
Extend that shit.

Magazine is such a superior name to clip. Because you get to type four more letters.

Faster reload easy next question.

more bullets > faster reload

>>379449821
Magazine is a batch of paper that you take to the toilet to read, not insert into your gun.

>>379449003
Does the game actually favor suppressing fire? If not then faster reload.

>>379449003
Faster reload 80% of the time unless it's an lmg with 100-200 rounds and extra mag gives like 100 more or a weapon that has such slow reload, you are fucked even with faster reload.

Extended mag almost always never give enough rounds to take down an additional enemy reliably. Better off take quick cover, reload, and re-engage

>>379449821
>>379449932
>>379449978
Magazine and clip are not synonymous, underage redditors.

>>379449003
I HAVE to reload when I shoot 1-2 bullets accidentally or even after every kill

This just makes me think of the bullshit in APB. You can choose between the following:

>Mag Pull
>40% faster reloading
>25% smaller magazine

>Extended Magazine
>30% larger mag size
>60% longer reload time

There's basically no reason to ever use the later one.

Depends on the weapon's power and fire rate.
It also depends on what you're doing. Do you have only one life? Is it big teams on a big map? Is this objective-based or elimination? All of these things should be considered when choosing your weapon/attachments. Even then it mostly boils down to your preference/playstyle.

>>379449247
But that's objectively a crutch and WRONG. Reloading during a fight means death either way, just pick your reload times better, higher capacity magazine actually offers a combat advantage.

>>379450292
You're going back to basics private.

extended magazine for sure unless you are a compulsive reloader

both. just jungle style two 50 round magazines. it's perfectly legal in my country

>>379450554
Definitely not my dude. If you have quick reload and you know you're safe(if you are good enough you will be able to tell if you are in a populous part of the map) then it is in your best interest to make sure you have as many rounds in your mag as possible. Like he said tho this only works if you don't lose rounds from reloading.

A faster reload means less vulnerability windows. Also I have a fetish for reload animations.

>>379449108
Except a 100 times as fast reload means you basically fire the same rate as full auto even if the magazine size is 1
Where as 100 times larger magazine means you get exposed to danger every 3000 rounds

assuming the stat boost on both is roughly equal;
analysis of a life in an FPS
>shoot guys
>reload
>shoot guys
>reload
>shoot guys
>etc

ideally you want to be successful during part where things happen. reloading is inevitable (unless you die before your first reload) and undesirable, and you want to decrease your downtime. however, as the analysis above shows, extended mags will be the more useful at the part when you shoot guys. then when you get to the reloading part, the faster reload will equal out in usefulness.
QED - the extended mags will always be either more useful or as useful as faster reload, where fast reload will always be either less useful or as useful as the mags. therefore you should always take the extended mags.

a close comparison would be between taking something helps you when you're alive vs. something that makes dying not as bad. just like in that case, you want things that help you during your uptime, essentially.

>>379451352
if you're reloading just as often with extended mags as you were without, then the faster reload would be better as you are a suboptimal player. just the same, in CoD4 for example martyrdom would be better for you if you spend more time dying than being alive.

>>379450095
But it is, trust me I play video games.

>>379451956
Except Martyrdom is better in CoD4 since grenades are broken and once you've killed 5 or 6 people with grenades you spawned with then you can sudoku to take out 2 or 3 more and get them back.

>>379449003
>larger magazines = heavier weapon
I wish weight and weight balance was a thing in modern FPS.

>>379449108
so infinite bullets vs. instant reload, in which case there's no difference between the two

therefore the two options are equally as good

>>379449452
This is the only right answer

>>379449003
If the game has a really short TTK, then mag size.
If it has a long TTK, then reload speed.

>>379452226
But if an equal amount of ammo is just distributed between fewer, larger magazines, then the overall loadout weight is the same.

>>379452264
There's definitely an issue of weight

>>379452408
I was referring to physically larger and higher capacity magazines. They weigh a lot (unsurprisingly) depending on how much more capacity they have over a standard magazine. It also shifts the center of gravity on the gun depending on where the magazine is in respect to your supporting and shooting hand. It's a bit hard to quantify the effects this has on shooting, but it's like someone's tugging forward and down on the gun constantly as you hold it at the ready.

>high capacity magazine
>regular reload speed
>still reload after firing one shot

It literally doesn't matter, but now I feel like playing counterstrike.

>>379449003
Why not both?

anon, pls

In something like counterstrike where you want to generally avoid reloading in a fight and can make ten rounds stretch pretty far (I have seen SO many people get killed while they were compulsively reloading after only firing a few bursts), I'd probably pick the bigger magazine M4A4 user btw. If I didn't have time for the original reload speed then it's probably a better idea to whip out a pistol anyway. In something more "run and gun" where you spray shit down willy-nilly, the reloads are already fairly fast, and you're generally encouraged to smack that R key as soon as there's no enemies in sight I'll usually pick higher reload speed.

>this thread

>people think automatic weapons are better than semi automatic when they aren't belt fed
cute

>>379449003
This all depends on the ability of weapon switching.

In Killing Floor 2, high cap mags wins if you have a secondary/thirdary weapon

>>379449003
I'd rather have an 20 round magazine with a 1 second reload than a 100 round magazine with a 5 second reload.
Downtime is a killer. Longer downtime means more missed opportunities. You're going to reload after almost every kill anyway no matter how much ammo is left in your mag unless it's one of those games that tracks magazines like ARMA or early BF, don't deny it.

In the case these are attachments/perks/mods or whatever:
>Faster reload
If it cuts the reload time in half, always.
If the weapon has a small magazine and likely won't benefit much from ammo cap increase, yes.
>Ammo capacity
If it's a doubled magazine to something like and LMG with a shitload of ammo already, yes.
If it's +15 to a 30 round magazine, maybe.
If it's some paltry shit like +5 ammo to a 30 round magazine, never.
If bigger ammo capacity also means carrying more total ammo in reserve, absolutely.
If it causes your total reserve ammo to not be divisible by the magazine size, NEVER.
