Online multiplayer games are a dime a dozen these days, but there are a few open-ended (Grand Theft Auto IV), skill-based (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), and class-based (Team Fortress 2) multiplayer games which allow players the freedom to express their personalities on the battlefield. The role you choose to play may completely alter the playing field and become the deciding factor between a win or loss. Your play-style may change from game to game, but your personality generally dictates your actions. That being said, which of the following aliases best suits you as a gamer?
The Stalker
You tend to sneak up on players and catch them off guard. Surprise attacks are your forte. You have a lot of patience and don't mind camping in a spot until you can silently snipe an enemy from afar. Your weapons of choice are generally silenced, but opting for a knife is also enough to get the job done. You're about as visible as a ghost and rarely die because of it.
Strength: Sneaking
What To Fear: Not knowing what hit you
Weakness: Sneak attacks being anticipated
The Artist
You thrive on your creativity to discover unconventional and untraditional ways to do away with your enemies or complete objectives. You'd rather play your way, then by the rules. This means that you'd play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare like Assassin's Creed, using your environments (running/jumping/climbing/etc.) to gain ground on your enemies and wielding nothing more than a knife or weak pistol to dispose of your enemies. The odds are always against you, but you see every obstacle as an opportunity for much more self-indulgence, satisfaction, and gratification.
Strength: Environments
What To Fear: Unpredictability
Weakness: Always at a disadvantage
The Demolitionist
Explosives are your best friend. Whether it be grenades or a rocket launcher, you enjoy weapons that make anything go "boom". You're the player that blindly shoots explosives with hopes of killing anything within the radius of the blasts. Getting lucky is fun, but you're also very skilled with ricocheting grenades off walls and shooting a rocket like a sniper. You're also the loudest on the battlefield and it is an intimidating aspect of your game. You get a good laugh when "stealth" players fall into your mine and claymore traps.
Strength: Explosives
What To Fear: Accuracy with explosives
Weakness: Committing suicide
The Exploitive
You're keen on finding glitches and cheap weapons. Once they're in your grasp, you rely on them to have the edge over your enemies. You don't care about getting kicked out of a room or even banned. You're one of those who force developers to release updates and patches to keep cheaters from making the game unfair.
Strength: Cheating
What To Fear: Cheating
Weakness: Updates and patches
The Terminator
You're an expert with machine guns. Sometimes you get lucky, but other times, it's all based on being "in the zone". You're a very aggressive player and are always on the move. You've mastered the art of headshots with short fire bursts. You're capable of getting a good kill streak without dying, but once you start "praying and spraying", your skills lose some credibility and consistency.
Strength: Machine Guns
What To Fear: "In the zone"
Weakness: "Pray and Spray"
The Eagle
All you need is a sniper and a spot to snipe from. You only move from that spot if you're killed or if your cover is blown. Patience is integral to your strategy, but you're also accused of being a camper or a sitting duck. All you care about is lining up that scope with any head that happens to be caught within your crosshairs. Your accuracy is extremely sharp and no-scoping is a skill you usually brag about.
Strength: Sniping
What To Fear: Spot on accuracy
Weakness: Close range combat
The Wheel-Man
Drive first, shoot later. That's your motto. You're usually the taxi driver or transportation guy. Your driving skills are superb and players rely on you to get them around. You'll occasionally jump out to shoot, but you'd rather just run over your enemies.
Strength: Driving
What To Fear: Being run over
Weakness: Having your vehicle blown up
The Outcast
You don't really get involved and typically stay out of densely populated areas of combat. You don't bring much to the table, but you're occasionally thanked for providing medical support, a human shield (or bait), or just being the brains of the team. You let your team take care of the dirty work, while everyone is wondering where the hell you are. In all seriousness, you're all talk and no game.
Strength: Brains
What To Fear: A genius tactical plan
Weakness: An easy target
