Poll: Attack or Defense?

[Instant K4rma]

In any game, FPS, RTS, RPG, etc, when some situation requires being on attack, like assulting a base, planting a bomb at a site being defended by the opposing faction or team, pretty much any situation that can be considered being on the "attack", or choosing to be on defense, like defending a base from oncoming attackers, defending a site from being bombed, holding a spot and not allowing attackers to advence, or any situation that would be considered being on "defense", which do you prefer?

Personally, I enjoy being on the defensive side of games. I enjoy holding out in a building while enemies close in around it with my team. I enjoy having to hold certain spots from oncoming attackers for a certain amount of time, things like that.

What about you, Escapist? Do you enjoy bieng the attackers or defenders?

Defense

Zerg is the way of the winner.

It really depends on the situation. I enjoy attacking in first person shooters when you're usually by yourself, but if I'm playing something like Left 4 Dead, I'm always on defense.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Defense for me. I'm a horrible attacker.

 

[El Poncho]

I usually attack but I don't mind defending if they are attacking we aren't just completely pwning them on the attack that none of them reach our base.

 

[KillerH]

The best offense is a good defense.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Im an attacker, i dont use defence that much because i tend to run away.

 

[thisisyournamenow]

attack all out

"Honor in death"
"death in sacrifice"
"sacrifice in glory"

I usually build up my defenses for ages (that means several layers of walls around my keep, complete with arrow towers and the like), then spend a good while hoarding resources until I have such a ridiculous amount that it'd be impossible for me to run out.

Then, when I'm ready, I empty my full strength out the gates (closing the gates behind them) and send them against the enemy base.

Numbers count for everything.

Defense. Easily defense. Even when attacking, i prefer a defensive posture. Let them come at you

 

[GreyWolf257]

I like setting up defenses. Even in games where I have to attack, I only advance a certain distance and then set up defenses before moving forward. I guess defense allows me to feel the joys of the "Last Stand." That is one of the most epic feelings in the whole world.

 

[SantoUno]

Defender, because in Halo 3 and CoD4 idiots always want to go fight for Sparta and leave our {insert gametype object here] undefended. Hell I have been a good defender over the years.

 

[Skeletor 0]

The best offense is a good defense.

nay
the best defense is a good offense.

 

[Antimony]

I'm more of a defensive person, in both strategy games and in more "twitchy" games, I prefer to be active, yet defensive. Hey, the defender always has the advantage, right?

 

[AngloDoom]

Defense.

I'm pretty good at setting up choke-points and strategic gameplay when I'm given that small amount of time that defense often gives. When attacking, I just go into a savage frenzy, which only works when people are surprised. Otherwise, I just get holes blown in me quickly.

Plus, the feeling of invulnerability when you set up a near-perfect defense...well, it makes me happy in areas not traditionally associated with videogames.

 

[LordGarbageMan]

Attacker; I never have any patience and usually use guns ideal for rushing.

 

[KillerH]

The best offense is a good defense.

nay
the best defense is a good offense.

say what you will on this, I am an immovable object on this.
