Types of Gamers

[MidgetHunter]

The Professional: Always loaded, scoped and ready. You're playing a game... this guy is doing his job.

Short Range Mcgee: Can't handle any long range fights, but will beat you down if given the chance.

Surreal Noob: A noob barely capable of navigating a hall by himself, somehow kills everyone on your team and finishes first place.

Turtle Shot: A guy who takes a long time to set up what will be a sure-fire shot, or moves slowly because he's focussing on aim. Ex. You see an enemy just standing there. You empty half a clip towards him wondering if he's even playing. He shoots you in the head. You die.

The Pussy: Only takes cheap shots, always runs when in danger. Not willing to get his ass kicked long enough to learn how to fight.

Advantage Man: You think you can beat him, but you'll never really get the chance to find out.

Feel free to add, discuss or tell me how much I fail. I'll probably come up with some more later.

The Complainer: Self Explanatory

[LegendaryLink]

The Teamkiller: Also selfexplanatory

The Boomer: Why take out one at a time with bullets when you can take them all out at once with nice explosions? You just pray you don't kill yourself in the process.

The Deadly AFK: Sure he may look like he's not manning the controls but I dare you to go in for the knife kill.

[No0n3]

Is this FPS?
I usually suck at close range, so I try to use diversions (smoke grenades), and then come out another exit, and then shoot them from a distance. Could call it dirty, could call it amazing! I try to quickly change locations, and take people out with silencer :) Love to play like that.
I guess I'd be "the pussy". Don't really care, as I don't camp, which is what pisses me off the most about some people. Having to wait for the round to finish because two retards don't dare to move an inch sucks.

[Nocturnal]

+1 on the noob one. Sometimes those guys can be a pain in the ass. You expect most players to have a minimum skill level, ie you assume they won't run AT you if you are sporting a rocket launcher. Their retardness can easily surprise you and cost you the kill.

-The Griefer
The type of guy that talks shit no matter what happens. You can kill him 20 times in a row and if he gets a lucky shot of he will proudly proclaim his caming superiority.

[rand0m]

German guy - After killing him you just hear a screaming and banging down the mic, his character then procceds to irratically move around as if someone was smashing their keyboard against their screen.

[Thomson]

what about the ones that think they're fucking great but every time they die they say you have bad rates or cheats or some shit.

CS is full of that shit

[ChocoChipCamo]

Sergeant Sad-Sack. Seriously, this guy has the worst luck. He doesn't necessarily suck, he's just constantly getting ganged raped, and he's the one who keeps showing up right in front of your crosshair out of nowhere. By the 30th time you've unintentionally killed him, even you start to feel sorry for this poor sap. You might even feel guilty as if you're subconciously exploiting him for stat-padding. After all, you're not -intentionally- targeting him....right?

I wonder what must be going on in the Sarge's head...

(Basically, the epitome, and most likely the birth, of what Rand0m just described)

[JesusTheJedi]

I'm definitely an Advantage Man, I'm really just not fast enough to go toe-to-toe with people, so I learn the map really well and never give them a chance to go into a head-on conflict with me ;)

[clutch-monkey]

i think i'm a variant of the turtle shot.... i don't get many kills overall...but when that annoying camper finally gets fragged, it's usually by me.

[SwyfT]

Turtle Shot: A guy who takes a long time to set up what will be a sure-fire shot, or moves slowly because he's focussing on aim. Ex. You see an enemy just standing there. You empty half a clip towards him wondering if he's even playing. He shoots you in the head. You die.

Thats how I play... if i don't get that headshot off i'm pissed haha. I wont even play games that don't incorporate headshots. I figure the more I practice aiming at head level the better i'll get with accuracy overall. Thats mainly why I can't enjoy Halo's 15-shot to kill MP unless I have a hammer or a snipe. Made me pretty beastly in the CoD series. I've kinda stopped doing this with CoD4 and my K/D ratio sure went up, and I still hold 29% accuracy with a M16.

That and the extremely unlucky guy, i'm the guy that always gets knifed, spawns ontop of grenades, and generally gets fucked at every corner. I'll have some games with a 3/1+ K/D ratio... then an unlucky match and i'm seriously 3-20, my friends all think i'm bad luck.

[skater910]

I love playing a combination of the turtle shot and the short range McGee. Sometimes I'll sit back for that good shot while the others rush in, and sometimes I take kamikaze charges at my enemies. The latter is usually when my team's camping and I want to make something happen so that they get off of their lazy asses. I usually have more fun when I hang back and snipe.

It always gives me a fuzzy feeling when I find that perfect spot that everyone travels through and nobody ever sees you in. It happens a lot in Battlefield 2/2142 on the smaller maps where there's a lot of action in one place. They usually go for the Titan and the medics running around reviving, not the sniper in the far distance picking off everyone with the balls to move predictably.

A good use for short range McGee is using the Gauntlet on really crowded Quake maps. I love going on killing sprees with it and then watch my imitators get blasted away.

[clutch-monkey]

is advantage man like an opportunist? never really enters the main fight but stalks the shadows around to pick off a stray here and there?

[Bicepto]

the renaissance man - this douche kill every one every time and has the greatest luck.

I remember playing battlefield two and i usualy was that player. Great times with battlefield two.

[Sketcher]

The Freeloader - The guy who just stands in his spawn location and lets his team do all the work. Sometimes picks off a few seriously injured enemies and becomes all proud of himself like he actually accomplished something.

The Hyper Guy - The guy who just runs forward into enemy territory firing wildly and ends up dying while his team stays back to execute their strategy appropriately. This ends up being good for the team because it can sometimes throw the enemy off track and allow your team to know where the enemy is.

[UncleSam]

I'm definatly an advantage man I usually play as a sniper of sorts and pick off those dumb enough to go into open areas. But i also like to go suicide with explosives or machine guns every once in a while.

[Slick37c]

The perfect game for advantage man is Shadowrun. You can learn those maps and use glider and teleport to fight on your terms all the time. Just keep teleporting until you're behind someone and boom! Slice'n'Dice.

[Cee]

Armchair General: the guy who is sitting in his basement barking orders at you, finishing off every sentence with "roger" or "copy that".

I'm what I call an assault man:

Assaulter: why snipe or melee when you can grab a medium ranged weapon and win through great use of "strafe and aim"?

[Shmoopie]

The Gamer Chick- oh wait, they don't exist.

[ChocoChipCamo]

I enjoy playing the Boomer in Warhawk, strapping proximity mines to vehicles, and popular roadways. My favorite aspect is the high risk/suicide bomber part that defines the Boomer. I'll toss a couple mines on a 4x4 and drive it straight into an enemy tank or a group of opponents, sometimes jumping out and letting it fly into them or staying behind the wheel and putting my head between my legs. Fun stuff!

[Burnt Socks]

How about the spawn camper? The type of person that sits at an enemy spawning location and kills any person that respawns. I hate those fuckers.

I'm talking about UT2004 onslaught here, I don't play any other FPS online so I don't know how respawning works in other games.

[Dozula]

GhettoBlaster: people who slang a lot or have really bad mics

[SwyfT]

The Mountain Camper: The person who spends 10 minutes finding a completely obscure spot to camp in. Once he finds this spot he can only watch over a small part of the map, because he camped all the way in Kansas when the firefight is in Florida.

:lol: that's a good one

[DarkTalon]

A-10er/ Kermit the Frogfoot, circles airbase at 1800 feet, soon as someone hops in that F-16 he swoops down puts about 800 rounds into it, swoops back up out of stinger range and waits till someone gets in the blackhawk. (PR KASHAN)

[SwyfT]

The "no-skill" screamer: The person who uses only the most user-unfriendly weapon known. He gets few kills, and is one of the worst people with the weapon, but it doesn't matter because he's using what he calls a "skilled gun". Any other gun used to kill him is retaliated with a "Nice <weapon>whoring, noob". Only exception to this rule is Auto-Snipers, seriously, fuck those Auto-Sniperwhoring noobs...

The Ritalin-starved Gamer: The gamer that always has to be typing or doing something, constantly. The type of guy who on a host-starting match will scream "GO" 6000 times in 9 seconds to make sure the host knows what should be happening. The Gamer gets so utterly bored in these 9 seconds he cusses everyone out and leaves. You could swear there had to be a bomb hotwired to his chair that blew up if he stopped slamming down on the keyboard for 2 seconds.

The "Never trying" Gamer: Beware of this guy. You may think he's just sitting at the bottom of a scoreboard just because he's a noob, but think again. You see, this guy never tries. Until he dies so much that people make fun of him. Then you better fucking run. Cause then this prodigy of gaming announces this same phrase every time: "Now i'm going to try", like he's going to fucking transcend to super sayin and blow your mind away with skills no mortal has ever seen. He promptly dies 6 more times in a row, then says "haha just kidding i'm just going to fuck around". We were close that time, next time he might "try".

Fucking hilarious. I don't hear this often in MMO's, but I get it all the time when playing Street Fighter with friends or some other competitive offline multiplayer game. I love rubbing that comment in their face when they lose. "What happened? I thought you were gunna start trying?"

[Xerosnake90]

The gamer: Guy who just fucking plays a game and doesn't care about what kind of gay catagory he's under, he just wants to fucking play.

I've also heard of this mythical creature.

Strategy Gamer: faps to the history channel, and is most likely smarter than you.

im something like that, except i got a mic and i just say random shit, and make people laugh, causing them to turn on their mics, and me seeing exactly were they are, with the little mic thing above their heads, then i go in for a kill...

[Daucus Karota]

Role playing and Strategy Gamer here

faps to the history channel.everyday :p

[burningcow422]

The Deadly AFK: Sure he may look like he's not manning the controls but I dare you to go in for the knife kill.

i love doing that
