....Honestly?

Terrible poll is terrible.

It's a gameplay element, for God's sake. Maybe you should complain more about shooters in general being difficult for some people. It seems more like a valid argument staging.

Yes; there's nothing wrong with active reloads. The only people who make it look silly are the ones who purposely waste an entire clip of ammo at the beginning of a match just to get that "initial advantage," which ends up not being all that significant anyway.

Anyone can do it at any time...its fine. Also, it seems like you're several years too late to complain about such a thing.

I don't play Gears, I've only played the second one once, but even then after maybe an hour of playing I got the reloading thing down, with very few mistakes. I didn't even know what it was when I started the game so I had to try to figure it out myself why I was reloading so slowly.

Active reload can be done by anyone, and is easy to do to begin wtih. So I can't see how it's not fair. 

Everyone gets the same opportunity to active reload, and it is extremely easy to time as well. In my opinion, yes, it is fair.

I actually really like active reload.  It makes you think a bit more about reloading.  I could understand if you were complaining about the active reload sniper rifle in GoW1 but they fixed that in GoW2. 
 
The only thing that really annoys me about gears online play is grenade tagging.  There are far too many people tagging grenades to walls and waiting for people to walk past.  I know there are counters but those guys piss me off.

Not only that... this thread should be in the GoW section.

Who actually voted no? I mean seriously?

Yea sure why not.
 
Now on the other hand, walking slowly while pressing your finger to your ear... that's total bullshit.

It could also be in the Active Reload forum. "

It's in the game so it's fair.

I don't mind it, as it does take some amount of skill to time correctly and anyone can do it. It's a hell of a lot better than fucking two piece-ing that's for damn sure.

how would it not be fair?  Everyone can do it, and it isn't hard to do.  That's like saying moving isn't fair because it makes someone harder to shoot.

It's fair, yes.
 But host active reload should be nerfed.

it's pretty unfair, sometimes it sends me emails and tells me about how I've been wasting my life.  
 
I always forget how much skill and effort it takes to press the right bumper twice.

It's a really clever system, of course it's fair 

" ...What?  Why wouldn't it be? "

Yes it is fair. Everyone has it at their disposal. 
 
Speaking as a person who is not that good at Gears, I still think it is perfectly fair online. If you can consistently hit those even during the craziest crap in online matches, you deserve the boost. I lose my timing when too much is going on around me.

The only time it wasn't fair was in Gears 1 when an "actively reloaded" sniper rifle could down someone in one shot. But they addressed that issue in Gears 2, so no.

It's a dumb feature but it's not gamebreaking. In the first Gears it was, but aside from the overpowered Hammerburst, the active reload doesn't do much in Gears 2.

Way to make a thread about a complete non-issue.
