Your stupid gaming habits that get you killed...

[fun-with-a-gun]

One of my worst ones is sprinting everywhere then seeing an enemy shooting at me and not being able to shoot. (CoD4)

I reload after just about every kill, just like almost everybody else who has commented. I'm getting better though, and I never reload while I have a LMG unless necessary; I used to before. I still do it sometimes though and I hate it.

Smoking a joint while playing COD WaW can be quite problematic as it gets you killed a lot, thats why I switched to a vaporizer so I can just suck on a tube hands free.

 

[C0nn0r666]

this might be luck more then a habit but i wait in a hiding spot for a hour for a enemy to come by but get bored and the second i leave get shot in the face

 

[Hyldago]

i have an amazingly dumb habbit of wonder if somthing would kill me (i.e. jumping into the cieling fan) and then going to find out.

 

[jimduckie]

playing when tired gets me more than being careless , just as bad is my controller gets cod4 disease ( left stick sticks )

In CoD 4 my grenades always seem to bounce off buildings or walls and right back at me.

And every single time I don't notice until it's too late and all can do is say "Oh crap..."

Getting killed by someone with an MP40 hiding around the corner, then when I respawn going there again, hoping to kill him..... from the hip..... with a DP-28 or scoped MN91/30 / SVT-40. Two or three times in a row.

Taking an ISU-152 on Debrecen Brenus 9xcap etc etc. It takes FOREVER to get anywhere, the armour sucks, and while it can one-shot Panthers, even the limited gun traverse you have takes forever and reloading takes forever twice, giving the enemy you just missed by 2 feet at 800m plenty of time to line up his shot and kill me.

Moving while reloading when fighting a Tiger from a T34/76. It doesn't cause them to miss, and it all it does is royally screw up the T34's advantage of much faster reload. And while it does take him three or four shells (as opposed to the ONE Panther shell I usually succumb to in a fucking IS-2) on account of my sloped armour, he does kill me.

All in Red Orchestra, btw. Which should be obvious if you've read some of my other posts.

Reloading every single time the trigger is pulled, kill or not, if one round goes off, I must reload.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I tend to get kicked from servers by admins claiming I 'cheat'. It totally kills your fun.

I always save the really good weapons, or the cool skills with long cooldowns for an emergency. Only problem is I never use them in an emergency either, because there might be an even bigger emergency right around the corner. This usually means that I die without using them.

...Picking up and eating things off the floor hahaha just to be different

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

I'm impetuous as hell. I rush into situations guns blazing, even on high difficulty modes. Cue a quick dash back to cover with what little health I have remaining...

I like to keep the action moving, and have little patience for subtleties in fighting. There's a reason my favourite weapons are generally automatic bullet-hoses or really large swords.

That said I can be tactical. I completed all of the first Halo's missions on legendary. I just prefer brute strength.

I'm also a sucker for duels. I'll deliberately tune my weapons down to whatever my enemy is using, giving them needless advantages.

 

[hardter]

In COD its either reloading or cooking a grenade then getting shot cause i have no weapon on.

Gears i get killed cause I can't resist the chainsaw or taking a hostage

In Street Fighter I just have a big urge to end with a flashy move. So many times I have to try set the super when a low kick would be enough.

I always get paranoid after being backstabbed by a spy in TF2. I look all around me, but I fail to see the übercharged Heavy spinning his Sascha at me.

Also, when I play execution on Gears 2 I always rush towards downed enemies to kill 'em, resulting in getting shot during the execution.

 

[Kelbear]

Helping teammates. I stick my neck out, and then it gets chopped off.

 

[Duskwaith]

takeing to long with sniper shots, they always hit me first.

 

[ohgodalex]

I am melodramatic; in fighting games especially, I will wait until I can finish my opponent off with the coolest combo possible before I end the fight, even if I could've ended things a long time ago.

 

[EuanMack]

I have the same as everyone else... obsesive compulsive reload disorder
