Yup. I played Halo 3: ODST with a friend a couple of weeks ago, after a solid week playing Borderlands. The result was a little ugly to watch.
Does switching between games confuse you?

the main problem I have is when I've been playing something like San Andreas, and then try to play Grand Turismo 4, the driving is so different it really messes me up for a while lolTPiddy said:I've gotten into a habit lately of switching between games, and I find myself getting confused by control schemes sometimes.
For example. RB is the run button in Saints Row 2, but in Gears 2 it reloads, and it Borderlands it throws grenades. I can't count how many times I've thrown grenades when I've wanted to run.
Does this happen to anyone else? Are there any really bad button confusion combos (like RB for grenades or running) that you can think of?
Transition from Halo 3 and other games to Bioshock. Y=Jump?! X=Hack/Reload/EVE Hypo! RB and LB to cycle through weapons, B to use a health kit etc. I was messing up wasting hypos and health kits and switching from my guns to my wrench by mistake almost halfway through the medical pavilion...although I haven't played Bioshcok in over a year since I beat it so...
Yes, for the simple reason that I play a single game for weeks and then switch to a different game.
It's proving VERY difficult to lose the Fallout3 controls though. Maybe I should use my keyboard a bit more.(there's not a single console port on my pc that I'm not playing with my wired 360 controller)

Yes. I switch between games a lot, particularly if I'm just doing achievement playthroughs and need to avoid boredom, which is bad because once I get used to the Assassin's Creed horsey-steering, I end up crashing my Borderlands car into a cliff, then I have to adjust to the controls in Prototype which bite me in the arse when I want to remember how to jump in Fallout 3. It's my own fault really for being so schizophrenic with my games.
Only when I first started FFVII a few months back, and I thought I saved because I hit X which is cancel in that game...
Caused so many lost hours.

I don't really change games that fast to confuse controls but it sometimes happens to me. Halo 2 controls over 3 made me throw equipment when I meant to reload. Haha crazy Bungie.
Switching from Left4Dead to Resident Evil 5 to Dead Space in one day resulted in a lot of swearing on all parts =/
If I play games of a similar genre in immediate succession, I trip up on the controls every now and again, but that usually wears off after a good while playing the game.
Accidentally pulling up the map or looking at your partner when you try to run in RE5 (from Dead Space controls) is a nice way to get your head separated from your person D:

I keep shooting my teammates in gears because I can't walk through them so I think they're a spy
No, I got used to it already.
I switch through games and systems without a problem, unless the start button is something different. For instance, in some games 'start' is the inventory and in some it's the menu; and in some, it just pauses the game.

Happens to me switching between Halos 1 and 2 to Halo 3, "x" is reload in the first two but "rb" is reload in Halo 3
