What kind of shooter are you?

[Schlen]

I'd say I prefer the griefing pinball style

That's the demo, anywhere you are I'm not and still shit goes boom in your face or under your boot

Don't want to lower myself to the noobtube though, that's the bad kind of griefing that requires no planning whatsoever

Sometimes I'll go for the biggest penis-enlargement you can give me, I usually don't care if its one big thing or a million small things that comes out of the dangerous end as long as the guy in front of me isn't getting back up

 

[pspman45]

Stealth. nothing is more satisfying than chasing an opponent around the map and finally putting a bullet in their skull

 

[Lieutenant Larceny]

A silenced shotgun or SMG and a revolver more suit my personality, sneaking and runny-aroundy. My melee weapon would be piano wire.

 

[XzarTheMad]

Whatever the situation calls for.

In TF2, I main in Soldier (Black Box, Gunboats, Frying Pan), Medic (Blutsauger, Medic Gun/Kritzkrieg, Ubersaw) and Scout (FaN, Lugermorph, Sandman), but I can play any class and remain firmly in the top of the score list. I rarely play sniper or spy, due to them being cheap, 1-hit-kill classes, and I prefer the satisfaction of knowing I killed someone when they had every possibility of fighting back. On occasion I go huntsman sniper with jarate and bushwacka, but that's usually to just fuck around and not be serious.

In the only other shooter I play, Bad Company 2, I go whatever is needed. I like the medic due to being able to help my team, but dislike the wide spread and general uselessness of the MGs. Assault is my second favorite, due to good RoF, accuracy and being able to reinforce my squad with ammo. Engineer is third, but I love placing mines to halt enemy tanks. Recon is, to me, reserved for douchebags and people who can't/won't fight like a man, with honour and dignity. Actually, I guess in general I dislike snipers because of their overpowered weapons and because of how they never actually help the team. If by chance they do kill someone to allow you to cap a point or take a base, it's 9 out of 10 pure chance. People who care about K/D rates go sniper. And honestly, fuck those guys.

Depends on what game, what map, if I'm playing with teamates, how I feel, what gametype, etc.
Most of the time, Tactician.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Sniping, suppressive, tactical, stealth. I'm a jack of all trades and by my honor I'll kill you at least once.

 

[RelexCryo]

I love using revolvers. I try to find a playstyle that justifies using them.

Without revolvers:

In general, my play style differs from multiplayer to singleplayer. In multiplayer, I am extremely aggressive, I will run into suicidal situations just to get a kill or two. I will frequently die more than the vast majority of people on my team, but also get far more kills.

In singleplayer, I tend to roleplay, and tend to focus on stealth, and caution. Since realistically speaking, I wouldn't come back from the dead, I try to play like one life is all I have.

 

[Farther than stars]

Given a range of weaponry, what best describes your method of play.

Stealth: Sniper rifle & Silenced Pistol / knife

Offensive / Agile: Assualt rifle / AK47 with Uzi / Pistol

Offensive / Heavy: Minigun / Flamethrower / Antitank rifle / Missile Launcher

Melee: Pistol & Knife / Bunt

Demolition / Grenadier: C4, grenades, emp, mines with Uzi

Tactition: M4 / M16 / AK47 with M9 Pistol

Powerhouse: Shotguns / Double Barrels with Colt

How is melee a type of shooter? =/ And also, aren't "offensive/agile" and "tactition" as you just described them pretty much the same thing?
As for me though, I'd pick stealth. It always stretches you to the maximum of your intellegence and your skill. Admittedly I often play with a rocket launcher, but that's only so I can tactically rocket jump behind the enemy lines.
But that's just by a little. Over all I play pretty varied characters. And that's the way I like it. All the ups and downs to every style of combat is what keeps things interesting. You know, one minute blasting through the front door, the other sneaking through the back.

Edit: this would have made a cool poll though (you could still add it).

 

[Android2137]

I am a coward, so my favorite style is sniper. Hide, shoot from great distances. Uh oh. I missed. Did this guy see me? Eh yes he did... Time to high tail it out of there and find me a new sniping spot! Good luck catching me from where you are, sucker!

Spy. Disguised as a Spy

"That Spy is a Spy!" (That's not what they say, but still).

I love hearing "I never really was on your side" when I dominate someone; makes me feel really malicious in a moustache-twirling way.

Hey, which one says "Your teammates paid me to kill you"? Spy or Sniper?

 

[teqrevisited]

Stealthy. One of my friends & I had more or less perfected a silenced MP5 sweep of the buildings on mp_bloc. Radar Jammer, Stuns and optional C4. After all, you can't kill what you can't see.

 

[thelonewolf266]

Offensive agile run and gun is the name of the game its what cod is built for works amazingly.

 

[zajohnson]

The old school, Ratchet and Clank 3rd person shooter.
Not sure what that falls under. Herp derp.

 

[xXAsherahXx]

Definitely stealth. I love going around in Splinter Cell: Conviction and just killing everybody without making a sound. The feeling from that is spectacular, I wish I could do that as a job in real life.

 

[ajh93]

Sniper all the way.

 

[Coldflame727]

If I had to pick, I would be stealth. Although, my favorite stealth games are the ones where shooting somebody gets you noticed and then murdered.

 

[rvbnut]

Stealth. Best way to take them out is by not letting them know that they are gonna be dead

 

[alandavidson]

Hmm... I'm a guerrilla warfare tactician, so aussault rifles/SMGs and grenades are the best choice for me.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

Generally I use a sniper rifle but if there isn't one I end up using an assault rifle picking off people at distance with short bursts. So I'd say I'm pretty fixed on being a "stealth" shooter.
