My friends refused to play Goldeneye 64 against me if Proximity Mines were available. I had a habit of abusing a glitch that allowed you to create invisible mines. If you planted one on a box of ammunition, then immediately picked up the box, the mine would be invisible. So some poor bastard would come into the room looking for ammo, step close to the newly respawned box of ammunition, and get blown to bits.KingsGambit said:
Ah, good times indeed.
Im a mid range fighter, so assault rifles. Either 3x burst fire or semi automatic. In CoD type games i try to be an anti-sniper.
In the first CoD game (the WW2 ones) this meant jumping around like an idiot in the middle of a field baiting the enemy snipers to shoot at me while my snipers took them out. Course this was back when people would always jump when moving around as there was no movement penalty.

Sniper rifle all the way. I love making precise one shot kills, preferably without anyone even knowing where it came from. If I have trouble finding a sniper rifle or ammo for it, I will usually try to at least get an assault rifle with an assault scope, dial it down to single shot, and use it like a pale imitation of a sniper rifle. I despise the run-and-gun playstyle, I like my kills to be methodical, precise, and from as far away from the action as possible.
Scoped assault rifle.
I can't exactly speak for my real-world prowess, but in shooters I find an AR is incredibly effective at most ranges.

Depends on the game. If sniping works in a universe, then it's usually my preferred method. One of the things I absolutely loved about Mass Effect 1 that was sadly missing from ME2/3 was the ability to ambush enemies. I don't mind Bioware spawning in enemies in Dragon Age, where I can't snipe, but in ME2/3 it was annoying.KingsGambit said:
In ME1, I loved sniping on Mako worlds. Who needs that overgrown tank when I can take out my foes (Geth or pirates or mercs or whatever) from so far away that the battle "ends" after every shot (because I'm so far away my party members instantly assume the battle is over).
Also my favorite method in Dishonored. Crossbow bolt from the other side of the compound. And then, when the enemies eventually find me, summon rats, run and hide, and then snipe again!
Shotguns are my favorite. KABLAM FOOL YO HEAD IS GONE!!!!!! My favorite has to be in Mass Effect with the Vanguard. The best part of it was the range of the shotty didn't matter. By the end of one you could fire it across the room and still hit some one and in 2 and 3 charge was awesome.
God, this is actually a harder question for me to answer than you'd think. You see, while I do like the good old standby of an Assault Rifle (Or better yet, a good Light Machine Gun simply for the added stopping-power and ammunition), but I've always leaned more towards Shotguns, until recently.
Lately, I've fallen in love with Sniper Rifles, particularly the slow-firing but hard-hitting bolt actions that feel so satisfying to use when used properly and at long range. But, I still love Shotguns with a passion, particularly when a game does them so well. So, really, its tough to choose.
Since every other time I'd probably say Shotguns, I'll go with Sniper Rifles this time around.

In games? I always go with the sniper rifle. I do NOT want to put myself in danger just to get a kill. As a sniper, the only threat I have, if I do it right, are counter snipers, and when that happens, the game becomes the most amazing thing in the world. I've had matches like that go on for 30 minutes to an hour, just trying to snipe each other.
yeah this, i tend to be very accurate and precise about my smg bullets, i tend to creep hard with them and catch someone by surprise sprinting at them with a blaze of bullets (love doing this with me2 and 3's full auto smg's)Assassin Xaero said:
also depends on if the game allows for any kind of stealth or silence/noise modifiers.
if it something like socom, i'm using a silencer every damn time, and most likely an assault rifle to match, but if i'm playing a more medieval style game, i'm using dual daggers as a rogue, fuck 2 handed swords and fuck magic and fuck bows.
I generally prefer melee combat. Preferably with either a two handed weapon(Warrior Vocation, Dragon's Dogma) or Twin Blades(Lloyd Irving, Tales of Symphonia).
If I have to use a projectile weapon, I much prefer bows. If they have to be firearms, then pistols/dual pistols all the way.
Sentinel or Adept in ME1 was perfect for me. Specializing in pistols(about as specialized as Sentinels get, anyway) was not a problem for me, because I prefer to use a pistols anyhow.

I like to use short range weapons. You put Spray and Pray down for the SMG, but all it comes down to is that, provided you're at close enough range before the fight starts, you'll beat out most any other weapon - and unlike the shotgun, if you miss, or if there are multiple targets, you can still take them down.
So for me, close quarters is good, and assuming it's got power, an SMG will do me just fine. Of course, if the SMG sucks, then I'll take a shotgun, and if there's a really neat melee weapon, I'll take that.
