What did you guys think about this update with the reloading?

Well, that's important to check because in warm-up server or something, it wouldn't matter about the reloading.

But yes, okay, good.

I think overall, it's another one of these things that gives us more to think about.

I mean that in a playing perspective or doing what we do as analysts or casters.

It gives us more to think about in terms of decision making.

That's what this has added.

And I think that the stance of, you know, we're not who was asking for this or why do we even need this?

I start to go down the rabbit hole of thinking, so this is another mechanism for Valve to be able to also balance the game, right?

We've seen them do things with ammo in the past where they've, you know, say reduced the amount of bullets that are in reserve of a gun or they've reduced the amount of bullets a gun can fire at once.

Like the Tech 9 is a good example.

It went from 32 down to 24, down to 18 now.

This reload system obviously has some nuances to it.

And I think that some of the key changes, for example, MP9, that's been nerfed pretty heavily in terms of the amount of ammo it has in reserve.

So I think that's a good thing, right?

The MP9 probably still needed a nudge as far as a nerf was concerned.

The AWP only having 15 bullets is pretty concerning, I think.

The scout being brought down, what did it have, like 100 shots before?

So the scout was fucking insane.

But the scout being brought right down now, the AWP only having 15 shots in total does make me go, oh, AWPing is already pretty hard, at least in the upper echelon.
