What's your gaming style?

Are you aggressive? Cautious? Do you run around looking for someone to shoot at, or do you find a good defensive position and wait for targets?

I'm more on the cautious side: I tend to move slow, or try to hole up & try to use communications to let everyone know when & where I see an opponent, and tend to like the big guns (MK-48 in GRAW 2 is my baby) or the A4 or similar set on single shot or burst on bigger maps.

I also prefer OTS or 3rd person view over 1st.

I am aggressive in Halo 3 and cautious in the other games.

I am EXACTLY like that Thornes. Anyone can run around untill they find something to put in the crosshairs. Its a whole different beast when every move is calculated and deliberate. When every shot is given special attention to and you put rounds in the precise place you think would be best. Instead of just spraying magazine after magazine. Slow and steady wins the race and one shot one kill..

Please, Cuse - don't you mean it depends on how badly you wanna spank everyone else?

I would like to play some games where both sides are actually trying to use tactics rather than just pulling the trigger first. Maybe it's just because I suck at shooters in general, but it always turns into a run-n-gun and that's where I lose big time.

I'm fairly strategic. I usually find a strategy for each map, and play the map that way. Some maps I'm overly-aggressive, some maps I'm cautious.

It depends on my mood, the game and my level of inhebriation. I find the best tactic is to wait till everyone scatters at the start of a round and follow the biggest group but a little ways out on the flank.
Once the crap hits the fan, I usually have the enemies flank all to myself and start cherry pickin.

I almost always charge into the fray in HALO, but rarely in other shooters unless the opposition is very weak.

I would say I am aggressively strategic. I like to sit back and think about the situation and kill at range if I can but when it comes down to it if I have to im not afraid to run up and kill someone up close and personal if it gets the job done. That is at least for most games.

In Halo however my play style would best be described as flexible, having played this game the most out of any I have ever played. I usually try to cater my play style to what will work best against the opponent and on the map.

I like to lure out the enemy so my teammates can shoot them while I lay dead or dying, LOL.

It really depends on the game type I'm playing. I don't really like the run and gun play, but in deathmatch or team death match, and infinite respawns, run and gun is just how the game play is done. Without respawns, I'm a lot more careful and strategic. I tend to play a bit better because run and gunners suck as the slower paced games.

I can attest to that! Although I think your other strategy of walking into someone else's line of fire is your best tactic... don't call it a teamkill! LOL

I'm probably more aggressive than not. I get bored sitting around.

I like teleporting around. So far, the only way I've found to do it is to get shot and respawn somewhere else.

I'm still working on another method.

Cautious for the most part, although when Keezy runs in willy-nilly I usually run in trying to save his bravado ass.

I guess I should actually contribute rather than just being smart-assalicious.

My style is usually somewhat slower and more cautious than most. I tend to have a longer lifespan in games, but also with fewer kills, thus I'm assuming I just take things a little slower and get into the fray a little less. I play the outer edges of the battle quite a bit.

Depends on the mood I'm in. Sometimes I just don't mind dying, so I just run-n-gun.
