Is there something you just hate about styles of gaming or just bad habits people seem to have?

My two would be :
On 1 on 1 games if you start doing really well and the other player stops
And Clans in any type of game that have pre arranged tactics and have rehearsed them

I think those people just take the fun out of multiplayer games

When i'm playing a Warlock in WoW, i need to be exactly equal when Lifetapping, or it just bugs me o_O.

or i start Nerd Raging when playing Soul Calibur 4 on Xbox live, and someone does the same combo each second >.<

Yh cheap shotting sucks so much (admittedly I do it sometimes against my friends BUT that is purely because like me it annoys the hell out of him)

Spawn campers. I don't mind if you stay near my spawn, just let me move five-god-damn-feet before you blow my face off.

Anything that I consider to be winning with the lack of skill. That constitutes using a gltich or a bug, a gun that you can "buy" through donating, exploiting, or using a strategy that really doesn't take any skill but works because the game thinks its funny.
Examples of this would be in any WoW private I play, I get absolutely raped by the other factions Donors, and they always corpse camp. Guys in RTS games that come up with some hair brain strategy to sell all of there buildings except for the building that creates INF units and uses all of his money to spam INF. Using a certain gun that is extremely overpowered, like the PKM in BF2, that thing did the most dmg out of any gun and could fire on a point at any distance if the person weilding it dolphined it up.

If someone comes up to me, and kills me, or beats me without having some towering advantage, I.E. the only reason that he wins is because of what he does, not the advantages he has, then I bow to him for being better than me. The other situation like that is when I'm playing tf2 as a medic and a good scout kills me. The scout is just designed to kill a medic in that situation, so I don't get angry about it.

Other than that I don't think its fair that someone else who isn't better than me should be able to beat me, but as Luck and stupid game mechanics have shown, in competitive play, such is not the case.

The thing that really bugs me is when this kind of situation really starts to impede on the basic element of any game, Fun. Getting killed is fine, I mean you can't expect to play a competitive game like that and not die once in a while, but when it gets to the point where you can't even get out of your spawn, or you can't even be of use because there's one guy in a tank right outside your base, then that's where its really bad. I rage quit when that shit starts to happen cuz it absolutely drives me ape shit.

Saving. If I have to find a save point or check point or whatever, it pisses me off. Every game needs autosave!

I hate timers that don't pause when you pause. FF7 style.

Screw you and your two minute long button mash sequences with no breaks, Kojima!

Illustrated......"cut-scenes". "when a story or plot is told through 5 or 6 pictures rather then actually animated.

people not guarding things..... seriously, every thinks they are the hero and all plan to go off and capture everything.... if people just defended once in awhile might acctually get somewhere in games (refering more to capture the point games life BF)

Speaking again from my RTS online experience.
When its something like 3v3, and two of the other team quit. Or even worse when two of your own team quit.
And going further on my experience of AoM.
When you play escapes, and one of the hunters quits the moment the game starts.
Or when you're playing doom lords or something and about half your team quits the moment it starts.

Definitely. I'm in the Red Alert 3 beta right now and I have too many wins from people just quitting as soon as I reach their base. And I've given up on 2v2 matches unless my teammate is someone I know in RL, because I've been screwed over in those matches too. As soon as the battle starts to really heat up, they just dump out of the match, leaving you against 2 enemies.

Move spammers. Don't get so happy you won, it was physically impossible for me to win when you pull the same cheap move every 2 seconds and don't let me stand the fuck up and defend myself.
