Your favorite way to kill guards.

[El Camarado]

Poison, if done well in a game (so that it actually does something), or anything that does damage over a long period of time. There is nothing quite like standing back and watching a guard die while looking for you after hitting them only a few times with the poison. And there is also nothing quite like having an opponent keep trying to kill you, while you do absolutely nothing to defend yourself, only to have them die.

Also, when possible, I like to kill very tough baddies with underpowered weapons, preferably also dodging all their attacks as well. Though explosives are always fun. Maybe a combination of the two would be even better... ?

Other than that, when those aren't options (as in, most of the time) I like to mix things up as much as possible. Variety is the spice of life; right next to Poison and Explosives.

Err I dunno, by shooting them? Yeah, I'm not very original...been playing Perfect Dark recently too.

Batman: hang em froma gargoyle. wait for terrified guy to stumble upon the unconcious bat-pinata that was once his fellow goon. detonate explosive gel. smile.
Xenomorph: basically just eat em or call my facehugger drinking buddy over to rape his face

I walk into a room of about 30 guards while myself disguised as a guard in Prototype. I then stealth-consume each and every one of them without ever alerting the guards. So much win.

Bullet it to the head if I have a gun and if I don't then just some stabbing motions until they are dead.

Slitting their throats and bringing them into the haystack... Who knows what goes on in their eh?

Sweet Christ I swear I have filled at least a couple haystacks with a few hundred bodies each. Someone probably vomited after trying to feed their horses.

Captain stabby meet face, face meet captain stabby. Then comes the construction of the rotting death fortress (5 bodies in a crude circle).

 

[badgersprite]

Stealth kills, preferably silently sniping someone from a distance and taking out his buddy before either of them know, wait, what the fu--

 

[sora91111]

In Assassin's creed I give them a fair shot. First, disarm then dispose of thier weapon. Next, a fist fight. Finally, hidden blade to the neck of the unconcious guard. Fun right?

 

[Why do I care]

I like to just walk past two guards and shoot them in the head and say, "Fuck off."

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

If I have the ability to, take over their minds and make them jump off of bridges, cliffs, buildings, out of windows, etc...

 

[Comrade Mateo]

I don't like to kill the guards. Instead,I walk up to them, convince them I'm their friend, tell them Caesars Legion sucks, and steal their stuff.

...which I use to kill them when I come back.

 

[duchaked]

Assassin's Creed 2, shooting them in the face with a gun they've never heard of before, and probably think runs on witchcraft.

I love how Brotherhood has incorporated the gun into some counters
basically Ezio just decides that sticking someone ain't enough, gotta finish them off with a point-blank "whoa what the WOW awesome bro" shot (okay maybe the high five and fist pump afterwards is a bit much but okay it's whatever)

 

[Israirie]

Knock their weapon away. Begin boxing match.

 

[Arduras]

Depends on the game really.
For something such as Mount&Blade I favour a Two hander while on foot... charge me horsie, I dare ya!!!
FPS: Stealth as close to the target as possible and, either use a silent weapon (knife, pistol, tranq gun, etc) or wither them down with a few bursts of an assault rifle (military doctrine, get close, use surprise, no one left alive).
When defending I like to use range, not a sniper rifle, just an assault to surpress and pick a few off at a time... or a bow with a sword and shield in reserve.

Snipe from a distance.
