Describe your role in a team.

[ElTigreSantiago]

The only sports I play are Cross Country and Track and Field. Not much teamwork there.

In games, I'm the support. I sacrifice my points, glory and sometimes fun, for my team.

In Team Fortress 2, I'm ALWAYS the Engineer unless my entire team is Engineers.

In Gears, if it's Guardian I protect the leader. In Warzone I cover my team with the Mortar. I charge into hell to revive teammates.

In Battlefield, I play as the support class. I spend a lot of time healing Abrams tanks and dropping health packs during firefights. I get more kills mortaring key positions for team raids than I do with my M60.

But if a game has aircraft in it, you bet I'll be in it giving air support.

In short, I get kills from responding to calls of distress, defending, and supporting my team.

In WoW, I'm the tank telling the healer to respec dps because I don't need them for heroics.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

I'm the lorist and medic of the group, the one that knows what they're doing, warns the team that they're going about it all wrong, gets laughed at for suggesting the way that actually makes sense, and then patches up the crew while saying 'I told you so,' because their genius plan wound up going all to hell.

 

[Cody211282]

In RPGs mostly healer also like to play the tank, In shooters mostly rifleman/guard someone tells me to hold the area and I do that until I'm dead, football i play receiver, and paintball mostly just sneak around the side and try to confuse the other team as everyone else does takes them out

 

[Jark212]

With my trusty M4 I'm usually the only one securing the flanks, and I'm good...

 

[Lazy Kitty]

In sports: Delay & Distract, basically I harras whoever is the most dangerous.
In games: Usually something defensive.

 

[Teddy Roosevelt]

I have the tactical brains in pretty much any situation. In video games, I can do some dirty work, but in real life I've got no brawn.

 

[God Worm]

With TF2, I'm either playing one of three roles:

Part of the mob - I move with the majority of the team and try to help with as many assists as I can.

Surprise-spearhead - Strangely enough, I've noticed that I can occasionally start/lead a successful push for a cap point...usually I'm dead before the actual capping is done.

Solo-wanderer - This happens mostly when the rest of the team is very solid and I'm that redundant wheel at the end. I mostly just try and heckle the other team from the back and get them paranoid.

 

[TheBXRabbit]

Whenever I'm in a group I provide snark and muscle. In sports I usually play defence and do as much psychological/physical damage to the other team as possible. In games I'm a tank, who will use explosives to devastating effect. No matter what I'm doing, you can expect me to also help with morale with a constant stream of lame jokes and vicious sarcasm (Results may vary).

 

[G-Dragon]

on a team, im the last line of defense, im useless unless i have to be useful, then the adrenaline kicks in and i get good at whatever im doing. that being said, i am much better at things i can do by myself

 

[Zero-Vash]

In sports it's always been a defensive that I fit into. (American) Football I played linebacker, rusher in flag. Soccer I play either goalie or the aggressive defender. Frisbee I play the back zone.

In shooters I'm jack of all trades. I can do whatever role needs to be filled fairly well. When I play with my friends I normally get a few "What the..." moments; so the lucky guy.

 

[Tharwen]

And you make this thread right at one of my most depressed moments...

I feel so inadequate...

 

[biggles1]

in real life, I am a thinker and solution finder as well as light humor.

in games, I am a tactical commander/assassin/ millitary dictator who is unstoppable in most fps and rts games I play.

 

[edgeofblade]

I'm the battlefield tactician.

I do one of three things:

I find a data port far away from the bullets and plug my datapad in. Then I get on the horn and watch my friends backs, thinking three corners ahead. It helps if I can drop waypoints for my teammates. (Games like Perfect Dark Zero's shotgun ability and Chromehounds' command configurations)

I drop behind a bullet shield and turtle my way into fire as my friends take the pot shots. (MW2)

I hide away from the main fight and work my way around the periphery, staying out of sight of the snipers. Then, I get as close to the flag as possible, call in an extraction I hushed tones, and haul ass to the flag as soon as the Warthog (Halo, if you missed that) starts getting close.

 

[The Undoer]

IRL? Nothing. I'm NOT a team player in reality.

Ingames, I want to win. I will take charge and throw out tactics for hard parts, but most of the time I am the one who does the most retarded thing in the world and pulls it off: For example, in L4D2, playing Advanced, 3 of my Team Mates were down fighting a tank, not far from the safe room. I had 50 HP and would't survive the fight, so I agroed the tank and ran to the safe room, closing it, and shooting the tank through it. When it died, I ran to and helped my team mates up and we all got to the safe room (All 4... Including Rochelle).

I'm also the gay who will run into opponents, do some nice chunk of damage, then die/fallback whilst my team mates do the rest of the work. I'm not really much of a man for surrender, so if I have respawns, it's death or victory. If it's not I fall back though, whilst my team mates deal with the enemies chasing after me.

I have some decent tactics, but you can guarantee they all come with a risk.

 

[jubosu]

I lone wolf it then meet back up with the group later.
Kind of a John Locke character only with more explosives.
love me some C4

 

[Eggsnham]

I play "Medic Airsoft" with my friends and I'm usually the medic.

Although, I don't really ever 'heal' my friends, I'm more of the bad-ass medic who takes down the entire enemy team (enemy medic first) with just a spring pistol while not 'healing' anyone on my team at all.

I wonder why I'm always medic, now that I've taken time to ponder this.

 

[Shawshanker]

The one who fails at FPS games and always lets his team down with his constant dieing. When I do actually get a kill everyone drops what they are doing and gasps then claps like I just won a fucking award. On the upside I'm good at RPGs that invole strategy and also umm.... whatever Assassin's Creed is (the first one mind you, even though I can't wait to pick up the second).

 

[Banana Phone Man]

I play county badminton and although everyone on the team has the same role as player we are looked at in different ways. For me I am looked at as the leader as being the most experianced in the group but I like to play more of the supporting role and just play not to lead. However if I have to take the lead I don't mind.

I guess that's why I always play stealth class in games. Help in ways without getting noticed and doesn't mind leading the others in for a charge.
