Aliens vs Predators

[Excalibur]

I already kinda don't like this game, but not for the darkness and random bouts of steam from pipes and the whole DOOM concept, but for the fact of the weapons. So far, I've seen gameplay of using the pulse rifle and the pistol and it's the classic style of "mid mag reload and rack the bolt/charging handle/slide" like in a lot of games. This is another point on why game designers should at least ask a person who knows guns do you have to rack the slide or bolt when you are half empty? It might look cool, but it takes several seconds to change mags and then rack the bolt. In that few seconds, an Alien could pop in your face and kill you. It's just annoying. This is also the case for games like Fallout 3, Borderlands, etc
