I'm not quite any of those. I guess I'm closest to guns-blazing?

I like to mix up styles of course, but if there's no approach that's obviously superior I'll generally tend to go for face-smashing berserker. I enjoy using giant hammers and huge battleaxes even in games where they're wildly inappropriate, and if I'm limited to only firearms I prefer the butt end. Shotguns can be pretty awesome as well.

I don't really fit as a psycho, at least as described in this thread. If I inflict pain on my enemies that's fine, but if I crush them so thoroughly and quickly that they never get a chance to feel pain that's even better.

Oddly I don't mind stealth though. I mean, obviously once the killing starts I don't get much opportunity for it, but I enjoy sneaking around the edge of a group of enemies looking for a nice defensible position from which I'll be able to start my rage smashing by taking out one or two of the more annoying enemies.

Just because my insatiable bloodlust drives me to become a brutal, unthinking beast doesn't mean I have to be stupid about it.

i always run into combat guns blazin' and i know that's a bad choice cause in a shooter your supposed to hunker down in some cover to avoid being shot, but then i'd be letting the bots have all the fun! yes, i always run out into combat like some insane kamikaze, and yes, i die a lot because of it, and yes, i think cover is for sissies and yes, i only take cover when i really need to! that's just the kind of guy i am!
p.s i see most of you are marksmen. learn to fight like men, you wall-hugging campers!

Stealth mostly. The only game that has multiple ways of completion that I hadn`t gone stealth was Fallout 3. In that I`m part run and gun and part sniper.

Just saw Leon again and as a hitman you start with long range/sniper rifles and as you get better you get closer and closer to the target with the knife beeing the top rank. I'm still stuck with sniper rifles/bows.

Guns blazing and Demolition, if I have to I will put the difficulty on easy to play like this, it's more fun and I don't like dying anymore than once per a level in a video game, however in multiplayer I use tactics and strategy (sometime's use in single player but not as much), BTW I mostly play single player. only game I ever used a lot of stealth was crysis 1 (I used the cloak a lot) but other times I drove my car at the enemy...hopped out at the last second and watch them both explode!

I can relate to that (well not the dying part, but I just put the difficulty on easy in most game's except halo and crysis). it is probably why I partly prefer halo, because it's more run and gun with explosions than cover based shooting

I'm mostly a stealth/marksman kind of guy, but if a game pushes me too far...

BRING OUT THE PSYCHO.

It depends. I like to go in with stealth/marksman when I can, but I'm not usually good with that skillset, except in Fallout NV or EYE Divine Cybermancy. So usually I just go in guns blazing and demolish enemies with a shotgun.

With Mechwarrior I usually outfit my Mech with some PPC's, LRM's, and machine guns as backup weapons, then run in and try to do as much damage as I can until I die.
It doesn't usually work out very well...

I'm a mix of stealth and guns blazing. I begin with stealth, but once I'm in a situation that would be difficult to get through using stealth, or if I've been spotted, I go guns blazing, and CQC their faces... which most of the time isn't possible, since melee combat is rarely done in games besides the "tap to melee" stuff.

It's usually both stealth and marksman, usually because there dead by sniper/bow before they know anyones there, i put my targets down fast and hard :p it's where my username came from.

I like to stealth my way through areas while killing as few people as possible, I like the idea of nobody ever knowing I was there!
I even managed it a few times in bad company 2 multiplayer haha, that was fun. I like planting C4 around then blowing them all to hell when my team brings a tank up! only managed it a couple of times though.
