Your stupid gaming habits that get you killed...

[Ravenseeker]

counting bullets, sounds like a good thing but i've grown up on medal of honor so you had to count your shoots. In games like Killzone 2, it's a better idea just to empty an entire clip into someone than shoot them in the head.

Also, whenever i get hit in multiplayer i always hit crouch. Which basically goes like this: guy shoots me, i crouch, guy hits my head instead of body, i die, cursing follows

Killing someone, Reloading by instinct even though his friend is stood in front of me with a shotgun & a grudge.

Couldn't have put it better myself

Well I could, by spelling things correctly.. but other then that, same here!

reloading every time i shoot more than 1 bullet, oh and sprinting around corners

In STALKER, this bad habit has got me into more than a few tight spots:

Immediately after an engagement, I rush to loot the bodies without making sure the area is totally clear first. More than once an enemy has come out of the woodwork and caught me off guard.

I just can't help it, as soon as all visible enemies hit the ground, I'm like "must...steal...goodies 8D"

 

[Straitjacketeering]

I get too twitchy and sometimes i'll round a corner and it could be a team member but i'll end up shooting because unless the persons in my feild of view for a good moment i'm basically, HOLYSHITPERSONSHOOT.

I rush with a melee weapon in hand.

I would say these are my two most stupid gaming habits that get me killed:

1. Standing in the same spot for 10 seconds as a sniper
2. Trying to get a revenge kill which only gets me killed by the same person, again, then usually a third time, and then I finally learn my lesson only to do it one more time in that particular game.

Would you believe, reloading is my bad habit.

I reload to often. I'll kill a player, then instantly reload by habit and always there is a player that will come around the corner to get me and I can't do a thing

forgetting where i threw the grenade ..... that and not remembering that theirs a minimap and people know where i am

 

[Kiereek]

i always get the need to click the control sticks in certain directions, just to hear the sound. or i need to pull the trigger for some reason, so i try to do it just enough to make it sound when it snaps back, but not to fire. this has caused many deaths

I find one of the biggest problems I have in TF2 is being too stubborn to switch classes, even if the situation requires it, I dunno why I always do that. Another problem I have is ALWAYS lancer rushing gears of war 2. God I love that lancer...

 

[bmar]

Stopping to switch weapons. I don't do it often but when I do i get killed.....

 

[Aedrial]

Clinging to shotguns and I'm an OCD reloader. EVEN if there is a dozen enemies around, I will reload after half the cartridge is down.

 

[Blackdoom]

I have a problem where I need to see what happens when I use an explosive weapon, usually that ends up with my being turned into several bite sized pieces.

Especially in Garry's Mod except I usually check if something is explosive by using the wrench.

 

[fanklok]

i dont reload after ever kill i only reload when a guy from the other team is out of view then during the sequence he pops up and kills me not intentionally of course

 

[ItsMelvin85]

Not throwing in fighting games. Local matches at my place have had a rule of No throws, personally we think that spamming them is a cheap as hell way to win. Now that fighting games have entered the online realm I almost never even think of or expect a throw. Gets me every time.

 

[adledog]

I love using pistols, even in games where they suck=P

 

[gamer416]

REloading after every kill, and staying put for too long.

I also suffer from this...

As do I.

And I as well.

wow this is common this and revenge rushing

Killing someone, Reloading by instinct even though his friend is stood in front of me with a shotgun & a grudge.

This.

Also,

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Pff, I wish. Even when I'm getting owned I end up saving all the big stuff because I'm a tosser.

Killing someone, Reloading by instinct even though his friend is stood in front of me with a shotgun & a grudge.

I'm like that only I don't reload until the shooting has stopped completely.

Whenever I get cheesed in an FPS I always switch to whatever they did and start trying to revenge them, even if I'm bad at what they're doing.
