**POLL**

BTW, iam putting this poll in the PC games forum because i dont regard console FPS games worthy as being included because of their controllers (with the exception of Halo on the xbox :P).

Medic / Assualt.

If there is no Medic, I will choose the best Machine Gun capable of burst firing accuracy, and rambo my way through everything, sometimes like Sniping aswell.

Medics are never balanced, just grab ammo off someone, most medics have good guns, 1 man army, can litterally kill many more than any other class in any game.

In arcade games, some kind of front line infantry because snipers suck in most arcade games. In (semi) realistic games, a sniper. Offensive sniping, or actually sharpshooting, is the best! Especially in Red Orchestra it's fun to snipe.

I like sadistic suicidal technique called "RUSH-OVER-THE-BATTLEFIELD-AND-GET-KILLED-AS-MANY-TIMES-AS-POSSIBLE".

It's kind of relaxing...

It depends on the game of course, but I usually like being tactical, taking out as many as I can quietly, then assault whats left head-on.

I like to either be as stealthy as possible but if there's not much stealth in the game I like to be sniper.

Really depends on the game. But basically I like support roles (medic, rear guard, driver for other troops etc.)

I wonder why so many people like being a medic? Is it because you can heal yourself, or because they like helping out the team?

Helping out the team for me. And that's why I enjoy support roles more than anything. Leave the big guns to the people who enjoy them ;) Different playstyles ftw.

The strategy I use, or "class" I play, depends largely on what type of FPS it is I am playing. Usually I go sniper though.

There are no options in the poll for me :( I always need to be in the front lines, shooting people from a distance is boring... but I do love sniper weapons, so I always ends up going on a suicide mission, by using a sniper weapon at the front lines :)

I enjoy playing a medic because I like to be part of a successful squad that can cross maps quickly taking points, and having a medic as part of a small squad is vital if you want to make ground and keep it.  With long respawn times you can easily lose a point you captured by the time you respawn, and a medic allows you to instantly come back.

And since you mentioned BF2, the SA80 is an awesome weapon for the medic, and one you can get very early on if you make the right choices.

Healing yourself is OK, but medics that do just this tend to be lone wolves rather than team players.  If I could have a squad of 6 that had 1 medic and 1 support, I would be perfectly happy to take on anything!! :D

As a final point - you can also have a great laugh at your mates when you revive them and they have no kit, and arms bent a funny angles as they run around without weapons :D

I just love to snipe.  I really love the expressions or the complaints of my friends when I snipe them when they are hiding and they think that they are totally safe.  I think I'm one of the most feared and respected among our LANning buddies.  For some reason, they always want to be on my team.

I prefer run-n-gun.  I tend to be able to out-twitch most people, so that does the best for me.  I am definately a team player and I always have the most fun taking the role that is most needed at the moment, no matter how boring it may be.

Medic or Engineer.  I like playing support.  I tend to prefer Engineer class, playing defense and keeping the base running.  It really depends on the game, though.  In BF2 the engineer kit is pretty worthless so I usually go medic.

Depends on the game...
If the game has a really powerful single shot "rail" weapon that remains accurate while strafing...then im using that gun (railgun,lightning gun...etc) and using my uber mouse to headshot everyone even at point blank. Theres no other bigger rush.

If the game does not have a really powerful single shot weapon, then Im loading up on deployables (spidermines, mines, c4 packs, claymores) and im rigging up every ladder, chokepoint, and spawnpoint in the map.

Im normally the one that shoots at everything that can move in FPS games :) But it depends on the game, in the battlefield games like bf2 and bf2142 im mostly the spec ups dude.
