In UT2k4/UT3: flak cannon junkie. Not subtle, no long range, but fun, so i think i'm a rusher kind of person.

I like to think im a good all rounder tbh:].

But you cant be a camper and a rusher, and i CANT stay in one low traffic area for more than like, 10 seconds maha.

I'm definitely a flanker. Whenever me and my friends would play split-screen multiplayer, I'm always the one that sneaks around and ambushes people. I usually wouldn't get the highest score and I had a tendency to die easily in a straight up fire-fight, but they'd always get worried if nobody had seen me for a bit.

I am the 'team leader', I run out into a game and try to help my team do better and lead by example (and help those who get injured when I can).

Nothing says 'fight harder dammit!' like seeing someone make a mini pile of bodies with a really big gun.

EDIT: Fine, I'll do the pro/con thing.

Strengths- Can cause massive destruction and impact a game heavily.

Weaknesses- Easily overwhelmed by numbers and has the potential to be an arse.

Probably the rusher because i find it the most entertaining (others might not, not about to argue that, each have thier own opinions bla bla bla) charge in firing wildly at anything in my sights untill everything in the room is dead or I am... more often than not I am, but I'll be back in 15 seconds to do it all again

You forgot the all rounder.

The one who is happy to sneak up from the edge with a sniping rifle, wait, make his easy shots, then charge in to give the enemy some shotgun loving, before quickly melting away back into the map dumping some claymores as he goes.

You'll see a lot of those.
This usually describes me. That or:

The crazy (rager) armed for boom/short range combat. Average life span 30 sec after revenge kill.

This, with the exception of 'ambusher'. I've never been the trap-setting type.

I'm a cross between Sniper and Flanker,although sometimes I'm a bit of a Wanderer (walks around aimlessly killing anything he runs into)

Strategist, I'm the guy who calls the shots and leads the team to victory.

This should be a poll really.

Strength: uses parkour-kungfu/superpower-enhancement-drugs, aside from normal guns to deal with the enemy

Weakness: that kind of awesomeness does not belong to online shooters... yet.

I try to stealth kill everyone whether it's appropriate in the game or not...

I'm mainly mix of Camper (damn it, forgot the marshmallows) and Rusher.
It really depends how I feel and what gametype.

If I feel like an evil little shit or it's deathmatch, I'll be kind of a roaming camper, sit in one spot with varying weapons and get a few kills, and find a new spot and get a few more.

But if I feel like just grinding experience or to show off close range sniping prowess, I'll rush.

I use all tactics, these are just the most effective for my play style.

I'm the guy who sits behind the rusher with a mid range gun (like the battle rifle from Halo). I don't like being in direct danger but I want to be able to actually help with the objective if the need arises. It's better than sniping in some corner not helping with anything.
