Instictively trying to use a technique in the wrong game.

[soulless-5]

I get mixed up in nearly every new game I start, most recently in Just cause 2 I have a nasty habbit of mixing up the grapple and nades... I've wasted so many nades even and after so many hours of gaming I still do it.

sometimes i will find myself crouch-walking around enemies in FPS games where it wont help me in any way. like in Battlefield, ill crouch-walk as if im playing Halo

 

[Squirrel1328]

Sometimes i keep trying to jump from cover to cover and silently sneak up behind my enemies because i think i'm playing Splinter Cell

Every time I switch between Saints Row 2 and GTA IV, I always hit the wrong button for handbrake turns. In Saints Row 2, X is handbrake and A is cruise control. In GTA IV, X is changing weapons and... headlights toggle, and A is handbrake. So if I play a lot of Saints Row 2 and then later go play GTA IV (like I have been recently), I find myself slamming into a wall as my headlights turn on more often than I'd like.

Also, this time in GTA IV I kept trying to hold down B to access the weapon wheel, but there isn't one because Rockstar decided to say in the obnoxious PS2 "press left and right a whole bunch of times" part of the world for that mechanic. >_<

It turns out that if I try to aim down the sights in Halo, I end up sticking a team mate and having the whole team get mad at me.

Ah, I kept doing that too, thankfully in the campaign though.

Tried to rush around to flank the enemy on my own in countdown match on Red Orchestra 2.(Like I would in COD or BF)
Ended up with a face full of lead and a long wait for the next round.

I remember one time I was playing Saints Row 2 and I wanted to call a horse in a la Red Dead Redemption. Strangely, a few of my gang members rode up and got out of their car. It felt awesome.

After playing Brink for some time, it was kinda wierd playing a game without the SMART system..
Trying to walljump in BF:BC2 can get you killed pretty fast..

The only thing i can think of right now..

Try adjusting to something like COD after playing that.

Fallout 3's PS3 jump button was the same as COD's switch weapon button- I think you can tell where this is going.

Also, the COD "special grenade" button is the same as the Resistance 2 "Sprint/Crouch" button. Cue self-flashbanging.

Resistance: Fall Of Man's Secondary Fire is Resistance 2's Zoom. Cue much accidental self-nading.

Shattered Horizon has no gravity. Cue many deaths from falls.

COD/Halo/Everything modern has regenerating health. Half Life does not. Cue many suicidal rush attacks.

Most games don't have terrifying flickering nightmare faces as enemies. Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut does. Cue much brick shitting, screams of terror and "OH GOD WHAT IS THAT"s.

Dawn Of War: Soulstorm classifies Necron Scarabs as air units that only attack other air units. My favourite strategy for screwing around with infinite energy was now useless.

After spending a lot of time building towers in Minecraft, you forget that crouching in other games doesn't prevent you from falling.

yep, i did that in portal 2 'i wonder what's behind there' splat

also, pretty-much any driving game i just follow the physics of the last one i played
so i slam into walls allot.

I do it a lot with MMOs. Playing a little Warhammer lately and everytime I switch between different characters I'll try to use the hotkeys for stuff. Really sucks when you're playing DPS and trying to use your heals.

 

[Jake|Ranger]

In Day of Defeat, I use space bar for sprint. And in Counter-Strike I use space bar for slow walk. On more than one occasion I've tried to sprint past the double doors up to bomb site B in de-dust2 only be slowly walk and get owned by a terrorist.

 

[Thetwistedendgame]

Every game should have double jumps...

 

[asam92]

I'll go one better, I tried to click the right thumb joystick that wasn't even in my hand and try to look behind me cuz I had been playing too much GTA San Andreas that day.
As for in game, I may of done it a few times, but nothing I really remember.

 

[silasbufu]

I tend to jump like a retard because of the reflex gained in Morrowind, for increasing Acrobatics.

 

[Raddra]

Trying to do a dodge forward roll (batman AA) in Mass Effect

Trying to block (Champions Online) in Everquest 2

 

[TheMagicIndian]

Holding shift to creep over to see what's over an edge only to fall to my death in any FPS. Damn you, Minecraft...

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Fast switch-spamming between two weapons, like in TF2 (Rapidly pressing Q while running, for teh lulz), in CoD4 Multiplayer on PC. I looked like a spastic guy with a tendency to always lean left. It was annoying, but I couln't stop .____.

Also, playing the SC2 Terran Campaign after playing 20 or so Protoss Multiplayer games in a row.
I have called down more MULE's than I have ever made Probes...

 

[thahat]

Switching forward through the Halo series is quite awkward, especially trying to melee with B or reload with X in later games.

Otherwise not much of a problem, as apart from GTA cheats my muscle-memory is rubbish

and switchinf forward from halo you will probably have noticed your aim has turned to putty. XD
thats the effect halo had on me anyway. have to play a LOT of other FPSs to get it back up to scrathc XD ( damn you halo and your spray and pray attittude, you bullet sponging, and collorfull cvollorfull people XD

 

[MrJKapowey]

The CoD / Bad Coy knife / 'nade problem.

I kept trying to grapple around the Vatican in Brotherhood after too much time on Just Cause 2.

Trying to use R-mouse to do something special with my 37mm cannon on WoT - DAMN MINECRAFT!

Blowing myself up on BFBC2 'Nam. In the main game I always have the binoculars as my Recon ability (to call in mortar strikes) and that's always L-Dpad. In 'Nam it's ALWAYS TNT = L-Dpad and Binoculars = R-Dpad. Cue much left trigger to bring up binoculars (place TNT) then right trigger to begin calling in a barrage (Detonate TNT).

 

[Loki Cain]

I press Shift so i wont fall off an edge... jeez this gets me killed at least once a week.
