People, you should NOT use the "E" key to reload. It can lead to your death, usually in boring but sometimes highly amusing ways.
A long time ago, on Ice Fields at the bridge, I was facing a pretty good opponent. We both had pistols, and he had grabbed the overshield earlier so I couldn't easily approach without being 3sk'd and vice versa for him. Suddenly, a hog comes roaring up behind my opponent, and because he was pressing "E" to reload he GOT SUCKED INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. It was freaking hilarious as the animation looked like he jumped forwards 4 feet into the seat. Anyways, after a split second of WTF I threw a frag grenade, sending the the hog over the side and killing them both. It was a pretty amusing story when he explained what happened.
The moral of the story is, DONT use "E" to reload or pick up weapons. Use "R" to reload and "X" to pick up weapons instantly. Use E only for getting into vehicles... "E" is context sensitive, and on the battlefield the context can change suddenly... leading to your sudden death.
