I'm not really sure.
In most FPS I tend to run around with a Sniper Rifle, shooting on the move and beating people up with it. Working out where people are from gunfire and muzzle-flash and laying in wait in really random places (not necessarily hidden, either - there's something satisfying about hiding around a corner for a point-blank headshot - as is sneaking up on a sniper, beating them up, taking the sniper rifle and killing the person they were originally aiming at. THAT'S kill-stealing).
But in games where the aiming isn't so great or the map isn't sniper-friendly I'll run around as a beserker - short-range SMGs and a bucket full of grenades are the order of the day.
Yet I love RTS games too - ones where strategy works. In C&C Generals, flanking and aerial support and so forth tends to work and makes it really fun (you're rewarded for sneaking forces around the enemy and getting good fire-positions) - but in Dune and C&C Tiberium Wars just getting the biggest force possible and tidal-waving the enemy works best (and I'm less keen on those games).
So Strategist I guess...?

Berserker of course! Nothing better than charging into a gun battle with a knife and still take everyone down! Just the thought of that makes me happy X-D
I'd have to say I'm a mix between a Hoarder, an Explorer, and a Grazer. I'm fairly open-minded as far as game genres go, and I'm willing to try almost anything, and I greatly enjoy open-world games like Fallout and Oblivion, since it means more delicious content to devour and, well, explore.Surreysmith said:
As far as combat goes, I like to be prepared. I hoard my ammo like a miser when playing an FPS, never wasting it and taking full advantage of everything at my fingertips. It's not cowardly per se, it's just good strategy.
So I'd say I'm 50% Grazer, 25% Hoarder, and 25% Explorer.
Depends on the game I'm playing really. On games like Crysis I'm a mix between the Hoarder and the Strategist because the game requires me to make full use of the suit's abilities to advance through certain situations and you need to always collect whatever ammo is available to you. However on games like CoD:4 where it's piss easy and the ammo is practically given to you on a silver platter, I play as the Berzerker just because I can get away with it and it's fun.
even though it may be impossible 2,7,5. it matters when ever im in the mood of screaming and running into a spawn on cod4 with nothing but a pistol, or flanking them until they no longer have a spawn and leave the game.and if you havent noticed yet i play fps mainly
I combine several aspects for that matter.
1. The Hoarder
I do like to go back to stack up on formerly ignored pieces of gear I'd need lateron after I used up some special abilities in a harder part (Usually at a 2nd or later run of a game)
2. The Berserker
By times I tend to just ignore all the good strategies and rush in, when I know I can take them all, then I tend to just rush into a pack of 5-10 mobs and beat them all up one after one or simultaneously (Best with a DK in WoW or in God of War)
3. The Explorer
Rather rarely the case I still wish to find some undiscovered areas I did not totally look through as of yet or don't know too well. Got me a few nice rewards and aiding supplies. (God of War mostlikely as the chests are not rarely just barely off your main path)
8. The Grazer
Admitedly I haven't tried everything and simulations sure aren't doing it for me anymore (except for MechWarrior maybe) and WW2 shooters or some hardcore RTS or tactic titles, but else I play next to everything
9. The Masochist
Ever wasted 2-3 hours on God of War (1) in one of their challenges? I just say: F*CKING MEDUSAS!!!!! DON'T STOP DROPPING HEALTH, YOU B!TCHES!
... Yea, I play too much (a tinch)
