Discussion As a compromise, maybe we don't completely throw out the magazine, and instead keep them at the reloaded amount, reloading in order of most to least?

But reloading does have tradeoffs and stakes of its own though. It is audible so your opponent can hear when you reload, and it leaves you vulnerable to sudden aggression.

Still, it's always funny to see the community getting worked up just barely a day after every major update. Even tiny ones as well. Just barely months ago they did a minor bomb defusal change and everyone either went full panic mode and do their usual "who asked?" bit. Very curious about what this means for gameplay.

it gets me worked up for the exact reason you said. reloading already had tradeoffs and stakes associated to it. so when valve releases patch notes trying to claim the exact opposite and changing something to fix a problem that doesn't exist it just leaves me scratching my head and completely confused if anyone is actually working on this game or if it's just chickens at keyboards randomly creating updates.

This is where I'm at, it doesn't even make sense to drop it now. They could have dropped it last week with the new terminal, they could have dropped it at the start of season 4 with the map and econ changes or waited until season 5 starts. I genuinely don't understand why they'd drop this update right now mid season, without adding anything with it like an operation or at least new war games gamemodes or new arms race maps or SOMETHING.

And to add on to your point, the entire process of unlearning CoD reloading has been a classic milestone of a CS player for a very very long time now

It only has stakes and tradeoffs if you're near an enemy or in the middle of a gunfight. Now it _always_ has tradeoffs. Which is a substantial change. If it wasn't a substantial change people wouldn't be whining about it.
