When playing games such as Halo, what type of person are you when playing multiplayer?

I fill whatever roles are necessary, it just depends what everyone else is doing and what isn't working for the team.

Obviously not going to be a sniper if being a sniper doesn't work for what we're doing, and not going to go silent if my current tactic doesn't suit the use of a knife.(Can't bring a knife to a gunfight, rings true)

Tactics change easily, so I really never stick with a single way to go about it.

The way that gets the job done.

Earlier on CS I was doing the best in the game and I had only used a knife the entire game....on Militia too. I always liked being a stealthy person.

Though on Halo I'm really more of a Driver then anything.

Handgun in Halo was my favorite weapon. Gotta love handguns with mini-scope!

I like the shotgun just because on the fact of its my best weapon simply because a month ago was the last it took me more then 1 shot to kill someone. the only problem is the dumb people on live that take the sniper and the shotgun.

I pretty much go with the most effective tactic available to me at the time, though, I find myself using stealth more than anything.

See them pick up a nice wep? Just sit down in a dark corner wait for them to come by and WHACK! More goodies for me...

If stealth doesn't work, I usually have some type of ranged weapon to help me out, like in Halo2, the Battle Rifle or Magnum.

I really hate sniping... People expect you to be perfect with the Sniper Rifle whenever you pick that baby up, but I never practice with it 'cause just sitting back in the corner and sniping is just too boring for me.

But the original Halo Pistol was my favorite gun... 3-hit insta-kill... Purple Hearts for everyone! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Shotgun in any game. Ive got a rep in CSS at the minute for using the 'farmer' shotgun and yelling "Gerrof my land!" at anyone I kill.

I don't play many shooting games, but I'm very resourceful, and use whatever I find. Too bad I found the shotgun shells after I died and lost the actual shotgun...

i use whatever i got, be it a knife, a shotty, a sniper, a handgun, etc

because if you only use X weapon, then you will always lose to Y tactic. be versatile and capable with everything and you win everytime =D

Bah! I'm split! I'd call myself a power weapon/machinest dude. I use whatever gets the job done. And i find shotguns and machine gun based weapons suit my play style! I try to use a weapon as the situation dictates.

I avoid sniper rifles because, i simply do not have the patience to wait to line up that perfect head shot. And i ain't no god damn camper!

stealth is out the window too. I'd rather barrel into a room with a fully loaded shotgun (or flak cannon. ooo baby), ready to cause a world of hurt. That and the fact im not great at trying to sneak up on people.

I'd say my role in multiplayer is simply to cause chaos. I don't defend or attack bases, unless they dudes taking care of that need backup.. I run about the map killing the enemies as i go. Trying to cause as much trouble to enemy as i can, hopefully drawing attention away from the dudes tryng to snab the flag http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.

Thankfully i finally signed up to xbox live so now i can take my under-developed halo 2 skills online http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

PEACE!!!

I'm a sniper, and good at it. I can do other stuff, but their is the most enjoyable to nail your unsuspecting friend in the head with a sniper round. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

i agree with ya 100%, woot! yeah, i especially love games where you can move when ur snipering, then you can be changing spots, or running behind someone, and *gun shot* they never know where they were hit from, because you arent there anymore, pistols with scopes on them are just as good

Halo 2? Eh, I run in, almost BOC-like (though I'm shinier http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ).

Call of Duty? I'm a sneaky bastid, and will usually go for the cheap bash to the head.

I play the role of silent killer/swordsman/novice. Basically, cause swords are cool and fun to use ( http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif ) and I can't aim if my life depended on it u_u

Technically, I don't use auto-aim weapons, but explosiony things http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I'm more of a vehicular manslaughterer with a spattering of 'A little bit of everything else' thrown in.

In most games, I'm the one with the car, running over people... in Halo 2, I either am the one in the car, or the one either A: Defending with a close range wep, or B: just doing whatever.

I dont care what people's opinions of it are, but I love sniping, whether its Halo 2, UT, or any other game. Sniping gets you frags (admittedly not as quick as gung-ho tactics), but generally keeps you out of trouble, unless you're stupid and stand in the middle of the arena http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Ghost Recon 2 is a great game to snipe on, lol, since you can lay down in grass, hehehe. Ownage.

Only FPS I do is DoD, so we'll go with that!
I'm primarily an offensive (:p) player, running around capping flags, so I rarely camp or snipe (though no-scoping madly can be fun but difficult for someone unused to playing without crosshairs http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif). My weapons of choice are the Browning Automatic Rifle for Allies and MP44 Assault Rifle for Axis, both of which are automatic and best at short to mid range. *votes Machinist*
Whee!

Sniper
Silent killer (uses knife)
Swordsman (Uses a Sword only)

I'm kinda these three depending on what weapon I have. I tend to try to kill people whenever possible and generally like the power that comes from the sword. And whether it is a sniper rifle or just something with a scope, I love to attack people and watch them freak out and try to find where I am shooting from.

My own: Vehicular Killer (Uses vehicles)

On Halo 2, I am very hard to beat when inside a Wraith. I've survives all vehicle attacks (aside from human tanks, which I only fought once), rockets, highjackers, and being ganged upon, some times all in one game.

a rusted barge ship is shinier solstis http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif. But good to hear! There can never be enough gung-ho nutters in a deathmatch! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

A yes and i almost forgot the vehicular activity in halo 2! admittely i am pretty shitty when it comes to using the tank. And if i drove a real car like i do a warthog, i would have passengers cuing up around the block to sue my wreckless, jeep flippng ass http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.

That said im pretty handy with the new improved ghost. once raked up 35 kills using one of those things before someone finally plugged me in a system link game. Though im not great with the banshee. but i remember i spent the guts of 3 minutes once barrel rolling in one to distract a tank dude (the helpless bastard couldn't land a shot despite the fact i kept moving in the same pattern) while a team mate snuck up and hijacked the tank http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

PEACE!!!

I prefer to be a silent/stealthy swordsman,as I kick ass with it.But,like most people, I will use and do whatever it takes to win.
