top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
1) You usually won't fire all those shots, thus in a small sense, you're wasting money.
2) If you die, the enemies will have plenty of ammunition to kill the rest of your teammates, do not give your opponents that luxury.
3) In this server, if you play properly, you won't need to use so many bullets, we all work together to complete our objectives, thus spend your money wisely and help your teammates.
just a little something i'd like to spill out

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
Okay *wanders off and keeps the same gun without refilling the clip. Unbeknownst to me Murphy's Law (you only need something when you dont have it) kicks in and I die the last player with full armor and health against someone with a glock and 1 hp, because my m4 ran out of ammo and i had just a knife to lose the Tourney finals 9-8*

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
If you're talking about your sidearm, I agree. Just about every other weapon has wholly inadequate starting ammo unless you're a headshot god. It'd be nice if you didn't have to buy the full 120 rounds for the M4 and instead could skimp and get something like 45 or 60, but dems da breaks.

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
Are you saying that you don't buy ammo for your weapons? How in the world can you be prepared to support your team like that? I don't understand...

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
how am i saying that you DON'T buy ammo? i'm saying buy ammo but you don't necessarily have to stuff yourself with them.
okay in that case, it's logical to buy as much ammo as you can on final rounds, cuz it's a heaven or hell/do or die round. Originally Posted by Karkianman101

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
i'm doing this because i've had frustrating experiences where i buy all clips for an m4 then get a headshot by an ak47. you lose quite alot; imagine the same story but with a para? thus "I" don't usually like to buy full ammo. Originally Posted by CingularDuality

OK, quit taking this so personally! Just because people are questioning you, doesn't mean they're "flaming" you. Originally Posted by Nightfire

I've seen no personal attacks here. Hell, I agreed with you with reference to sidearms. Originally Posted by Nightfire

I'd probably agree with the "don't buy ammo" assessment if you had only shot off a dozen bullets in a round your side won, but then, if your side won, you've also got some cash to burn, too.

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
I think he means buy ammo when you first get the gun, but if you live through the round and have say 30 in a clip and 67 extra for your m4, he doesnt fill it back up to 90 extra.

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
I'd say you can get away with two or maybe even one extra clip with the m4/ak. Ditto for the aug and sig. With the galil/famas I want a full loadout because I tend to spray more with those. If I get a scout I buy only one extra clip and I've never needed more.
It can be worth it to cut back if it means you can afford a flashbang or defuser kit.

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
I didn't know it was possible to buy partial loadouts of ammo?
How do I do this?

Re: top 3 reasons why you shouldn't buy a full clip of ammo:
In the old CS you used to be able to buy ammo one clip at a time.
Random and Nightfire, you seem to imply that you can still do this in CSS. PLEASE tell us how to if you can!Wintermute

They are talking about not buying more ammo after a round ends and you are still alive.
