Gaming Moments: Jump, shoot... grenade.


THE SCENARIO :

The helicopter has landed, and after a long cut scene detailing the apparently easy process of rappelling down into a war zone you are finally granted control of your character, looking away from your teammates in order to prevent a tragic (Although ultimately funny) accident, you start pressing every button on your controller in order lo learn their function, sure, you could have waited until the tutorial started, but you don't have time for that, you are Sergeant Bobblepatch, you are here to save your country from the nameless army that kinda looks like a real-world faction but that is totally a coincidence even though they clearly have a Russian accent... you are the only man who can do this, especially since you've done it like a thousand times before in other games with the same story (Seriously, why Russians?), you could say you already know how to play.

So, with all your knowledge and experience in hand (And i assume your controller) you press the sequence of buttons you always press, "X" to jump, "R1" to shoot, "L1" to... grenade?
