Bad habits
HenWen:
1. Clear all levels to 100% when not on challenges. I can, with great difficulty, bring myself to stop attackign a pack of 4 former sergeants on AoB.
2. Hoard medkits and any powerup greater than a small health globe. I always like to save them until the end of the level. After all, I can *probably* survive with 36% health, right? I am somewhat reasonable when it comes to using small medkits but I am terrible with large medkits, which I generally don't use unless I hit 20% health or less. This has led to many mancubus deaths.
3. Hoarding plasma cells. After I figured out how to clear city of skulls with rocket jump (after you pull lever and after the agony elemental spawns), I found the BFG wasn't really necessary. But I still carry around 5 stacks of cells with almost any build, just in case.
4. Hoarding rockets. I like to save a lot of rockets as insurance for the Wall. But post-wall there is no reason whatsoever to hoard so many. I will typically carry 2-3 stacks around until I end up discarding them for something more useful.
5. Avoiding radar shooting in hell. The thing is, I *hate* blowing up items/powerups as a result of barrel explosions. But I need to do this more, especially to detect Mancubi.
Klear:
I've got a new one - treating the tactical shotgun like it was a combat shotgun (or rather like it was standard shotgun). I rarely realize that I can unload all the shells at once without reloading.
I also try to start running even though I'm already running, getting an instant tired tactic.
Ashannar:
I didn't know you could turn off running early. I don't think that's too useful. I guess you could wait until an enemy fires, then turn it off and fire yourself without the accuracy hit. I guess you turn it off once you find good cover. That's pretty useful.

Last time I was playing some easy mode and I had 6 small and 1 large Med-Pack. Guess what? I got KOed by a Former Human.

Dualreloading with enemies in sight. Costed me a YASD vs a lava elemental HNTR last night, when the beast decided to walk towards me and melee instead of whacking me from a distance against fireproof red armor.
