First of all, I am really enjoying the game!
Having never played many online games before, I have really discovered just how easy it is to make a fool of one's self in full view of an international audience. Here are some of my dumbest moments on multi-player:
1) Grenades - I must be the biggest clod with these things. Maybe it's just the performance anxiety, but I always manage to screw up an easy kill situation with a bounced-back throw. The latest came in the basement of Commissar South. With two Soviet comrades in the room with me, I turned what should have been a leisurely toss into the German-held next room into a bungling butchery of my own colleagues. That I escaped was merely the cherry on the crap sundae, as I oh-so-brilliantly stumbled into the German room to a much-deserved death.
2) During a hard battle for the Grain Elevator foothold, my Russian assault trooper decided to acquire a rifle and plink away at the Germans coming through the windows. I bent down to grab a dead comrade's MN, but, being overly caffeinated, could not find the ctrl key to save my life. I mean that literally, because after an eternity of fumbling about, I picked up the rifle only to look up and see a German player, who seemed to have been just standing there watching me the whole time. I did manage to pull the trigger-that's the good news. The bad news I can sum up in one word: click.
3) Finally, my worst RO2 moment yet: getting owned 3 times in 2 minutes by a player called Mark_the_Muffin. I'll just leave it at that...
Hopefully, others will be kind enough to share their own embarrassments and help me to feel better about my own.
