Simple/stupid mistakes you know you should never make (but still do) - Games

Using the amputator to heal 2 teammates, I'd heal them with the medigun but instead I use the amputator and get myself killed.

Thinking Im in my intel room safe when I realize is the enemy intel room when suddenly I get teamkilled. I was Blue, not Red.

Playing as a spy and not seeing any enemies for too long and getting confused as to which team I'm on. :<

sorry, but I never make mistakes

Die

Forgetting what team I'm on. Not helped when the HUD is coloured red when I'm on the BLU team sometimes. I don't trust it anymore.

Going into a battle with the wrong weapon out as scout (I play without viewmodels as scout so every now and then I might accidentally have pistol or bat out).

Spychecking players using his secondary weapon.

Nearly 3000 hours have eliminated a lot of the big ones, if only by muscle memory, but I still get turned around in the water of 2Fort a lot. Also I have a bad habit of backstabbing the heavy before I kill the medic. Though I can usually solve this by turning around and plugging at him until he wastes his uber or dies. When I'm not playing Spy though, I'm pretty terribad at most other classes. I'm functional in them all (You kinda have to be to play an effective Spy) but I can barely rocket or sticky jump, I have no aiming skills so Sniper is right out. I cant puff puff sting for shit, and I build all my buildings in the wrong direction, and can never judge the best time to "Gottem" so I usually just stick with my Roguish spy.

Playing Sniper I'm terrible at it.

meleeing a spy i know valve coding will get me killed yet i still try for that 40% uber boost oops suddenly facestab

I always have the tendency to press the big g/h key to taunt.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;32254690]Spychecking players using his secondary weapon.[/QUOTE] Spys can change their disguise weapons. So that isn't a mistake.

[QUOTE=Jacen;32255320]Spys can change their disguise weapons. So that isn't a mistake.[/QUOTE] Yeah, But Spies can only choose primary and melee only.

I know I've posted this video more than once, but I always end up forgetting that you can't destroy stickies with rockets. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS0Z3y5tIFU&feature=channel_video_title[/media] This video makes me ashamed of myself. :(

[QUOTE=E.C.S;32255625]Yeah, But Spies can only choose primary and melee only.[/QUOTE] I think the sapper will bring out the secondary for other classes, but I'm not quite sure.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;32255625]Yeah, But Spies can only choose primary and melee only.[/QUOTE] Hmm. I was sure that you could pick secondary weapons. Well you learn something new everyday.

[QUOTE=Spybreak;32252742]Cloaking immediately after catching fire.[/QUOTE] It's smart if you can get a health pack and shed the fire. You disappear without a trace. Also, dropping uber. I always feel so stupid even if it's a backstab or headshot or random crit that I couldn't avoid. [editline]12th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=DHB;32255733]I think the sapper will bring out the secondary for other classes, but I'm not quite sure.[/QUOTE] It certainly does.

[QUOTE=Jacen;32255753]Hmm. I was sure that you could pick secondary weapons. Well you learn something new everyday.[/QUOTE] Nope, I was wrong. I can use secondary weapons... like 3 years playing this and never realized that, I'm a shameful spy.

Almost always messing up the first rocket jump on coldfront and badlands. Never able to rocket jump from spawn to C on gravelpit. After 57 hours on demo and 250 on soldier still can't roll out decently on any map.

Rocket jumping, without realizing I'm <40 HP. Seeing a Sniper with his back to the wall, trying to stab anyways and end up just slashing his back while he crits me with his kukri (it's always a goddamned crit). Changing my autoexec internet settings to be better suited for projectile classes, then going Sniper or Scout and wondering why I can't hit shit. I really should make a bind for that...

Not running away from fights I probably won't win.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;32254467]Forgetting what team I'm on. Not helped when the HUD is coloured red when I'm on the BLU team sometimes. I don't trust it anymore.[/QUOTE] I kept meleeing my teammate and i couldn't figure out why isn't he dying.

Using a bat against a shooting heavy. :suicide:

[QUOTE=DHB;32255733]I think the sapper will bring out the secondary for other classes, but I'm not quite sure.[/QUOTE] It can, and it's useful as hell. I can use the Dead Ringer and disguise as a Sniper on my team and have my SMG out so that the enemy team just thinks I'm a F2P player who charges with his SMG and it works.

Stickyjumping and pulling out my bottle while flying through the air instead of just sticky/pipebombing my target.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;32256634]Using a bat against a shooting heavy. :suicide:[/QUOTE] Jump on their head and crouch, there's a 50% chance you'll get a kill if you're lucky.

I'm sometimes too aware of my surroundings and look around too much, missing a few enemies that were just there, or next to me. I also on lazy days totally forget Snipers, Demoman's stickies, and Pyros exist.

Most people who own a mic talk when they are invisible as spy in alltalk servers.

Care about hats.
