It depends on the game.

>>47663643
Like what games?

>>47663873
Well, games like S4 and TF2 are different than regular FPS games since the playstyles vary a lot.

Hell, even in S4 itself I play differently depending on the map on the situation, which is why I have an "attack" guy and a "defense" guy.

attack guy
+SP
semi rifle
Counter Sword/plasma sword
Smash rifle or revolver

defense guy
wall
HMG
MOTHERFUCKING BAT
sentry (either of them)

Speaking of asian shooters, anybody played paperman

>>47664210
It's out?

>>47664129
Oh, and the attack guy also uses anchor in certain maps.

>>47664210
Nope.

>>47664129
I use mind shock for CQC guy, it's delicious when you're inside a dog pile

>>47664349
Yeah, did they nerf it a bit? I barely use it but I noticed it fucking RAPED, even without doing criticals.

Well, TF2 is a different case because every class has to do their own thing but I enjoy playing offensive engie, defensive soldier, defensive heavy, and offensive demoman.

It depends on the match and the map.

In Touchdown I usually just defend and snipe. But on some maps, I am in the actions since there really isn't much to defend. Deathmatch I get up close and personal though.

Support. If there's a rifle, I take it and shoot fuckers that are going after my bros. If there's a medigun, I'll use that along with an SMG of sorts. If there's buildings like in TF2, I'll use those to support mah bros.

The best way to describe my method of playing is I'm all about the objective. In S4, I always follow the ball and try to score if no one else is. In TF2 I'm always going after the payload cart or the cap point or intel while everyone else just wants to play like it's a Deathmatch.

>>47664413
I don't know, I just recently started playing it. I notice is criticals a lot.

Mostly I like playing defensive/support - and that goes for all types of games, fps, rpg, mmo, etc.
But sometimes if I play with a shitty team I can really feel like I wanna go out there and show them how to cap the flag/get kills/etc.

In objective based matches, I'm at the front, pushing as hard as possible to claim areas or return flags. In deathmatches, I'm usually right behind the retard run-and-gun crew, looking to pick off whatever I can with a (preferrably semi-auto) rifle.

In S4 my playstyle was FUCK YEAH CHECK THIS DEVIL MAY CRY SHIT and I ran around doing as many walljumps as possible.

The guy who runs around getting kills, hyper offensive I would call it.

This stems from my days of Q3A and UT2k4. Those skills and mindsets just set with me over to this day. So on MW1 I was playing with extreme conditioning, sleight of hand, and a silenced AK74u.

Fuck year.

>>47664466
I usually I start attacking. I don't score many touch downs, but someone has to kill the other guys and clear the way right?

If we're dominating by a lot of points once the half time starts, I change to defense guy and camp a bit.

>>47664588
Yeah, as long as you actually aim the enemy, it'll get criticals.

I am a shock trooper. I can usually fill any other roles as they show up but my primary role is shock trooper

>>47664647
walljumpan has probably got to be S4's saving grace. The really good walljumps are kind of hard to pull off, but when you do, it is extremely satisfying (for touchdown).

>>47664846
Station 1
Oldschool

DEM JUMPS

>>47664938
Station 1, I remember in the beginning days of S4 europe, when we were the first dudes walljumping over the blockwalls and into the touchdown and everybody on the other teams was like "OMG HOW HE DO THAT?"

shit was so cash

>>47665078
Yeah. I was at the beta, and it was pretty nice.

I should play one of these days and grind a bit for my Master clothes... DEM GRINDFESTS MAN DEM FUCKING GRINDFESTS

speaking of S4, anyone find any use for sentry nell?

I'm strongly on the attack side.
Run and gun with occasional short camp in hot spots usually in front of the enemy spawn location but not too much to not get surrounded. Ocasionally I will ocuppy building in enemy territory. It's fun when entire team tries to flush you out. If some retard want to run first then go ahead and show me where the enemies are. Don't rely on unknown teammates anymore (they suck mostly) so I'm basically one man army. On objective based modes I primarily go for the objective killing folks on the way. More teamplay on this modes and I like it when me and some other dude tries to get the objective and we support each other.

I play ever fps twitch shooter style.

Started with UT and never dropped the habit.

It works well on most games, but well...

>>47665297
Touchdown games, to stop the enemy holding the ball.

I like pushing forward. Being the guy clearing a building or getting enemies out of a certain area. Not so much "run and gun", but trying to take objectives.

Which is why I hate MW2, because people who actually try to advance get killed by campers and no one ever goes for objectives.

When I'm playing with random players who are at least competent, I break out my all-around guns/gear and stand at the front line, ready for anything they throw my way.

When I'm playing with random losers, I do my best to keep as far away as possible from them all, flanking the enemy, being sneaky and looking for weak spots in the hope that they divert some of their attention to me and my crappy team might do something.

When I'm playing with my bros, I know what they're capable of - I adopt a support style to back them up, generally staying behind, guarding their six with big guns. Maybe supply them with ammo if it is one of those kinda games.

Pretty much the only thing I'm not that good at is using sniper rifles; no problem with an ordinary gun and no zoom, but a little circle with a crosshair in it will fuck me sideways.

One thing I've learned is that, when in doubt, push forward!

Don't run, then stop halfway. The moment you got the enemy not moving out of their camp is when you know you have won. Then people get fustrated and start leaving or start getting sloppy due to rage.

So is S4 flavor of the month again?

I'm thinking of downloading it again. Delicious Semi Rifle camping behind wall with Sentrying.

>>47665536
Fuck campers you should aim and shoot faster than they can shoot. And cut corners with gun aimed so whoever is there you have your gun aimed at them instantly. Only annoying are the ones that camp in unusual/dark places so you don't see them at a glance. But they can only kill you once from that spot. Plus, use grenades or something.

i; RUN, DIE, RUN, DIE, RUN, DIE, RUN, DIE, RUN, DIE.
fuck you fags for not moving up with me.

>>47665769
It's quite alright if you don't care about clothes and only save monies to spend on guns and shit.

>>47665829
If you kill at least 2 with each death then it's good tactic

>>47665829
Indeed, rushing together is better than rushing alone. Might seem obvious now, but it rarely happens in-game.

>>47665934
Unless you play with retards who get stuck at the door to get all your team killed by grenade.

I really, really, really like clearing buildings with a good shotty to capture an objective.

>>47665769

Flavor of the month? Not really. Maybe in a few months if we get a substantial update.

>>47666037
Once Arcade mode it will be flavor of the months again, fuck year.

>>47665774
>aim and shoot faster then people spending the entire game with their sights aimed at the corner you're coming from

>>47666138

Arcade Mode is actually pretty awful, at least everyone who has played it so far has said so.

>>47666138
Ugh, once arcade mode is patched in, I mean.

>>47665854

Yeah, I never wasted my time with the clothes. I just bought the 5 hours versions of the weapons and skills.

>>47666256

Well, I used the Gloves and Boots you could get out of that random item thing, but otherwise, just 5-Hour semi rifles and sentry guns.

merker

S4League is not a first person shooter. Please stop calling third person shooters FPS. It makes me wanna rip my hair out.


Also, defensive player here. I prefer sniping you,setting up traps and all that good stuff.

>>47666229
Well, I don't know how it is, but most people on /v/ were pretty excited about it.

I just want something that will make grinding less tedious... I mean FUCK I want those clothes.

Supportive, that gets me killed sometimes.
