Best skill, ambushing.
Worst, varies but generally sniping
(In games like halo I'm okay/bad in the battlefield series I'm far better)

Hmm...

My best is camping, in any of its multiple fashions and with multiple separate weapons (The only exception being CoD's shotguns and Halo's sniper rifle). I'm usually pretty analytical about how I play my shooters (this is mainly about CoD, with a little bit of Halo thrown in), so the ability to find a good area with a large vantage point and a few easily defended entrances, and then use that area as an overwatch to shoot guys who are running around out in the fields is a strong suit of mine.

Worst: I'm easily aggravated. This wouldn't seem like a big issue, but when an enemy gets me out of my campy spot, and then decides to stay there himself (this happens alot on some maps), I get pissed off, and combined with my bullheadedness, this means I will continue to try and clear the enemy out of "my" spot until it works, which means i occasionally have ASTONISHINGLY negative Kill/Death ratios in some games. Oh, another weakness i have is that on missions where there aren't many good areas to camp or the action is too free-flowing, i have difficulty anticipating enemy movements and reacting accordingly (a prime example of a map like this is Vacant on CoD 4). On maps with that sort of layout, i will usually go positive, but not by much.

I'm easily aggravated too. What aggravates me most is my teamates. It seems that I'm a retard magnet since I always get those dumb shits that want to spawn right next to you while you're in your hiding spot and immediately start trying to shoot a fly about 500 yards away with a damned machine gun. That or they spawn next to you and knife you for being a sniper.

Battlefield: Bad Company is ESPECIALLY guilty of both.

I'm pretty good at guerilla style gameplay - run in , run out and hope and pray the person you killed hasn't got a friend close by.

Strength: Sniping and everything that comes with a sniper, pistols, grenades, mines, etc.

Weakness: Luck, just like in CoD5 you spawn RIGHT into the action ¬.¬"
If i can live longer then 5 seconds, i usually get into a sniper position, but around the same time, i get attacked at the exact point that i failed to guard...or i just get sheer unlucky.

My best skill is that I'm fucking awesome!

My worst is... You know what, who am I kidding... I'm not bad at anything when it comes to... Well, anything to be fair... Yeah, I'm pretty awesome now that I think about it.
*Shrugs* your not that good, or you would be know as the number one for everything. I use a Sniper Rifle, and I'm usually top of the game, doesn't mean I'm awesome.

Also you never answered the question.

Strongest: Crazy rampages. Once I get going, I often get 5-6 kills before retreating or dying.

Weakest: I'm not a good leader.

Oh bloody hell..... COD5 had the worst spawn system I have EVER seen. =\

You know it's bad when you spawn into an artillry strike three times in a row.

I'm an all purpose soldier. Throw me on the battlefield and whether it's sniping or assault, I adapt and own.

However, if vehicles are involved in any way, I WILL find a cliff. And if I have passengers, they WILL ride with me screaming to our doom.
LMAO I hate when people do that and at the same time I love it. It angers me that i have to spawn again, but it fills me with joy because it's frikkin funny as hell. xD

I'm bad at dealing with multiple people at once.

Good at: Some games I'm best with machine guns, and some games it's rockets, things that require a wrench or pliers

Bad at: Airplanes, not doing suicide rushes instead of tactically withdrawing and waiting for backup, commando roles

Most bipolar skill: Sniping, some days I'm awesome and some days it's like my first time using a mouse.

My best is adjusting to all the different weapons in the game and finding out which suits me the most.

However I always get shocked when running into other players and that throws me of for a couple of seconds. I can't play horrer games like Doom because everything just scares me all the time.

I'm a CSS and CoD4 nut haha

Good: Aiming and baiting enemies, especially when I've planted the bomb. Good sound helps.
Grenades, if you hear 'tink tink' its gonna hurt.

Bad: Sometimes I see red and run myself straight into a bunch of enemies, my screen name was .:splat:. for a long time due to this.
