What to do when you run out of ammo (if you do)

[Bad Karma]

If i get down to one last mag, i either whip out a speed loader and someone to over watch me, or i pop in that last fresh mag and charge enemy lines screaming like a bear.

If you run completely out of ammunition (which shouldn't happen unless you're retarded), present and properly utilize your side arm. Once you exhaust your side arm, use your rifle to provide simulated cover fire for your unit until one of them can safely hand off a spare magazine to you (because you all use the same weapons platform, so you can interchange mags on the field, if necessary).

This whole running around screaming while flailing rubber knives or going Rambo with your last hicap or whatever seriously detracts from the gameplay. It only serves to take everyone out of their element, and makes you look like an idiot who can't practice ammo conservation and/or properly equip himself for the assignments you have been given.

I run real caps. And it was Faction wars.... not to serious.

Not singling you out at all, though I suppose by quoting you it sort of looked that way. I've been guilty of it myself. It's just a behavior that a lot of people do at some of the more serious games and it gets old. I distinctly remember being at Santa Wars III and having an invisible RPG.

EDIT: Photographic evidence of shenanigans!

Got to my pistol, or sitdown, light up a cigarette and re-load a couple mags.

[Mongrol]

if you dont want to buy more mags just carry around the bag of BB's to reload your hi/mid cap. i would suggest putting a rubber band around it though so that they dont rattle and make noise. i cant tell you how many times iv snuck up on someone just to get shot cause my high caps or bag of ammo is rattleing. its a good solution if you have only one or two high caps but mid caps are way way better. besides it makes you feel cool to kill people then drop an empty mag and reload a fresh one lol. (CONTROLLED FIRE ALL THE WAY)

[Pacman]

I run around in a circle, trying to grab that one spare mag that I can't seem to grab, while screaming like a little girl....


Or if it's out of ammo for my AEG completely, I'll grab my bolt action and shoot Pacman...

I pretend to change my battery while waiting for Jester to show up and tap me center mass. I then curse loudly and respawn asking for a spare mag from my teammates while in respawn.

Of course, its in the spirit of fun. Most of the time i do a #1 instead of a #2, the #1 seems to prove better than the #2, being more combat effective than do a #2 on the field.

Although, there is nothing more pleasing than a big heaping pile of #2 flying towards the enemy position.

of course, if sir Limpy and I shoot him while he walks back to respawn, he curses even more and opens fire

run out of ammo?

If you're running out of ammo, you're not carrying enough. There's a simple solution to that. Carry More.

Or use less!

More is better than less. Have more to shoot more!

Bust out teh 1337 camera of doom...

[Drover]

i get shot, go back to respawn an reload my mags, then repeat

I seriously don't see how people that have several midcaps run out of ammo on a regular basis. My average number of BB's I have loaded on me is between 30 and 60, just dont be stupid with your shots. When I get an AEG with midcaps its like bleeding Christmas. Luckily im about to make an evike run and get some mags finally... When I run out its knife time or run around yelling "I NEED A GUN HALP MEH!" and usually one of the gearwhores will help me out.

[Variable]

In all seriousness, I carry about a million mags. I haven't run out mid-game in years.

[VogonFord]

I only run out when I'm running pistols or MP7, and even then it's rare (I do have 12 GBB magazines). Usually the grenades or blades only come out if I'm being the mood-breaking asshole that Justin seems to dislike :P
