We've all done it. You're torso twisting around and you accidentally hit the fire button at exactly the worst time. Put a AC20 shot into the back of a teammate already damaged just as we were approaching an enemy from behind for a surprise attack. The result was I got a teamkill and killed by the target we were about to 'surprise'.

Brain fart = pressing "\" instead of "/" in an SRM Cat.

I turned my AC20 on my friend once right before the capture went through, that was hilarious. I blew his Dragons ballistic arm clean off with one alpha and the whole team was watching.

He was sitting next to me though in the room. It wasn't a terribly well thought out plan...

One of my first runs in my brand new gausscat, I still had an itchy trigger finger and right at the start of the match on Caustic we all booted up and started running towards the Caldera... And just as a Jenner was racing past in front of my crosshairs I hit the mouse at exactly the wrong moment and cored him right through the back. I felt very bad but the fact that one hit cored him made me feel super powerful and as a result I now love the gausscat unreasonably, regardless of how it performs match to match.

Well, I recently got my first and to date only TK and didn't even reckognize it during the intense fight. Normally I open the chat and apologize if I hit someone on my team. But here's the point: I died and of course noticed it...but I was shutdown before I died and couldn't use the chat. :( A few seconds later the match was over and I was unable to even remeber which player I killed.

If you read this: Sorry, my bad. You have one free TK next time you see me. :)

To the Raven who's leg I shot the other day because I mistook your repeated flamer test firing for an overheat-suicide farming attempt - I again apologize. :)

To the other Raven who crossed in front of my alpha on Forest and died, I also apologize. You had no way of knowing I was lobbing that much AC10 from that far back.

It was a bad day for me and friendly Ravens. :(

Rushing back to defend the base, putting an AC20 round in to the back of a friendly ECM commando who had the same idea. Worst part is that the shot was right on target and would of killed the YLW that was capping, but I got killed instead.

I legged an ally commando with my ctf-3d while he was off screen, running around the cap point... I think he shouldn't have been that close to my freaking gorrila arms, though.

I was following a streak catapult raidboss around one of those rocks in the water on forest. We circled it like Benny Hill, then he somehow messes up, and I start to gain on him.

Maximum heatvision. Something pops around the corner, and I fire all my guns...

and I kill our own catapult that I don't know how he got there.

Killing the whole enemy team singlehandedly, kill after kill in close succession, only to realize 3 of them were on my team at the end match screen.

A while back, I switched my alpha strike button with my "show target overlay" button. The next game, I walked up to this poor commando on my team and tried to check which variant he was. Unfortunately I hit the old button and completely eviscerated him with an alpha strike.

He never said anything, but his armless, smoking trash heap of a mech slowly turned around and just looked at me as if he was saying "Why?!"

After that, I made sure not to screw up my hotkeys again.

In forest drop in the water while an Atlas was marching down to the water from behind a hill. Triggered 2 different tics as an already damaged team hunch crossed infront of the Atlas, taking both of them out.

Sad day...

Shot people but luckily never blown any parts off or killed anyone.

Most embarrasing would be getting so into the game that a friendly mech came round the corner and I shot him in the face out of surprise.

PS: I always say sorry if I do - it's only polite.

2x LB10-X to a lancemates Raven. At sub 50m. He disintergrated. The Atlas I was aiming at didn't.

My finger twitched or something at the beginning of the game and I fired my first group of weapons right in my teammates back. We were in TS at the time, "ooooopss" :). Luckily it was just 3 ML's. But kinda embarrassing to shoot your teammate who you are on TS with.

In an 8v8 team queue match, I was in my brawler atlas. I fired at an enemy, and then right as the delayed shots went off the highly damaged friendly cicada ran in front of me.
Net exp for that match: -39
