Up against the last mob with 1 hit left on you, fire your last shot into the last monster...not dead yet, but almost, now you're reloading. You have a pistol, the monster is right in front of you, but oh no... you can't switch to your pistol because YOU'RE RELOADING. You die, everyone yells at you.

Honestly?

Or at the very least give us an option so that we can disable automatic reloading of weapons on empty. If I am firing my gun wildly because I'm backed into a corner, and I suddenly run out of ammo... Why would I automatically start to reload just because I kept pulling the trigger? It's not realistic and in these cases it is a death warrant. If we could enable it so that weapons are ONLY reloaded when we push the key to reload them, we won't get stuck in that situation. If the thing runs out of ammo and we keep clicking, nothing happens. Then we get to choose whether we want to reload it or switch to another weapon. Obviously if you are backed into a corner, switching weapons is ideal, even if it is only to a knife. You probably won't survive long enough to reload your gun anyway so you might as well start stabbing!
