CounterStrike: Global Offensive automatic reload

counter-strike-global-offensive

After holding down the fire button and depleting a clip, the gun will not automatically reload until the fire button is released.

Is this behavior by design, or is it a problem with my setup? MOUSE1 is bound to the "Fire" action, and Raw Mouse Input is disabled.

All iterations of the counter-strike games have functioned this way since the initial release.

Simply because other games use a different mechanic does not imply that all games do.

In Counter-Strike, the time you choose to reload your gun is a very strategic one, having it "auto-reload" takes away this mechanic.
