What kind of FPS'er are you?

I wonder who else thinks that the atv is the most useful vehicle in the game? I can honestly say that I have captured more points with it then any other vehicle because of my firm belief in blitzkrieg.
 
I don't think there's an option on here that reflects my play style. Mostly because I don't play many of the generic shooters and end up playing the over-the-top realistic ones that most of you can't stand.

Run and gun simply doesn't work unless you've managed to flank your opponents and take them completely by surprise. Camping can work, but it's simply not conductive to objective-based gameplay, so it rarely happens for long periods of time. If being tactical were synonymous with "sneaky", then that's news to me. I always thought that it had more to do with using your head and thinking about the situation and how to overcome the obstacles that many scenarios will present you with, rather than simply charging in guns blazing in the style which many FPS's seem to cater too. Support.. well, there's a lot of different kinds of support.

Perhaps I'd have an easier time with this if I felt it wasn't centered around one game and the class/style gameplay it offers.

So, none of the above then?

I say sneaky to put it loosely. Personally I don't like to fight head on so I generally look for gaps and sneak behind the enemy. Basically what a real recon does.
 
I usually play as some form of support role like medic or engineer when playing online. Offline I like to run and gun.
 
I want to say that I am "The tactical. I am a sneaky bastard." But I would have to say I am "Run and gun. I want ACTION!". But that's because of the way they make the damn games! I used to think, before I started playing online a lot, that I'm going to get this game, I'm going to take my time, look around corners, catch people off guard and I'm gonna shoot them dead! But then you get in a game and it's 100 mph, and it's all willy-nilly. It frustrates me to no end.

A group of us used to go down in the woods and play paintball against each other. I took my time going from tree to tree, looking, making sure no one was around and that it was safe to move. I would see people walking slowly around not knowing I was watching and then POW! I never once saw 5 ~ 10 of us running top speed through the woods.
 
I voted Camper, and I'm not ashamed of it. :p

Tactical would be a close second for me though. I consider myself to be the thinking man's FPS player, and I like to do things strategically to gain the advantage instead of relying on sheer reflexes alone. Usually I like to hang out in buildings and places where I have some cover, but I'm flexible and adapt to the current situation as well.

I would say that I value my personal score more than the team victory, maybe because that is what I have the most control over. This is playing primarily CoD TDM - not a very team-oriented gametype anyway. Like Commander FAT said earlier, I try to do my part for the team by scoring the most kills possible while at the same time giving away very few deaths.
 
Honestly I like being on the sucky team. When my team sucks, I try harder. If we win, I know it was because of me. Sometimes though, my team sucks so bad that I can't do shit.
 
I've done all of them at times... just depends on the game..

There really aren't support roles in a game like Quake, nor is there really camping, or sneaking around. It's just a reflex game and whoever spots the other person first and can predict their movements better.

Yeah, the overall team performance doesn't really effect my enjoyment unless we're just completely getting destroyed. I think it's almost more badass to get MVP when you're on the losing team. :cool:

Sometimes I like getting MVP with a negative k/d.

Absolutely always a support role, mainly because they are the least common and people appreciate a good supportive teammate. Even outside of FPSs, a good support player is a rarity and people want to play with you.

Yeah, this.
You might not always get a good score, but it helps everyone enjoy the game.

That's right! Aim is king and "run and gun" is what gets the job done, plus an addition of some awesome reflexes ;)
 
I'll classify myself under Tac, but I do play run and gun to mix things up and get some stress out. Run and gun can also be a good warm up.
 
What I hate is when snipers are next to an objective and they are doing nothing, and no one is spawning off of them.
 
In anything Battlefield series, I usually play support. I do like playing assault and medic in Bad Company 2. When I drop that ammo/med pack people just surround me!
