Game Types

Foe · 24-July-06, 06:35 AM

Usually when we open up the server browser we go right for a particular type of game. Most often itis because we feel that is the type we play best. So when playing multiplayer, which type of game do you prefer to play? And tell why please.:blink:

Capture the Flag ... I started with TFC -- good enough answer?

Actually, it's the whole team dynamic thing. I actually like having to devise a plan to keep the enemy from getting your flag while simultaneously going to get their flag.

I mix between team deathmatch and deathmatch. I grew up on Duke Nukem, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D. My brother and I (when we finally were able to get TWO computers [my dad has 5 in his house now...lol, and I have two in mine...times have changed havn't they

]) loved duking it out in Quake III to see who was the best player in the family. I won most of the time (of course, duh) but he always handed me my butt in fighting games...

Yup, i had to be the odd person out: i chose "other".

If you're talking strictly multiplayer FPS, then Team Deathmatch is what i look for most of the time (my chances of remaining alive longer increase drastically when on a team). If the server has a lower population, then i might play Deathmatch.

If you're talking about any multiplayer game, then MMORPGs rank number one for me (as a rule, though, i prefer FPS games for PvP)..

When we were able to keep a DF:BHD game going at work before things got too hectic, we would play mainly team deathmatch. Regular deathmatch is ok, but I prefer the team dynamic primarily because of my particular style of play (sniper/support).

For me the team based types are more fun, and more of a challenge.

Team Deathmatch, but if there is good teamplay going on, I'll go with CTF.

I haven't played anything but Conquest lately. BF2!:angrygame

Foe · 25-July-06, 12:20 PM

For scoring best I do well in the team/round based types, but every once in awhile you just want to go kill something. Deathmatch fills that need.

NCXCStud · 25-July-06, 02:24 PM

I guess i'm the only one that prefers old school deathmatch over the others

.

But, like I said...i mix between DM and TDM lots of times...

I once attended a 12-player LAN party in which we had a CTF match (6 vs 6) with a capture limit of 5 and a time limit of null (this was Unreal Tournament by the way). That round lasted a hair under 7 hours. One round. I must say, folks - there's nothing quite like a 7-hour nonstop CTF battle with two very skilled teams. It's fairly hard to describe, but I think one word sums it up better than anything: INTENSE. Final score? 5-4. It was neck and neck the whole darn time. After that match, everyone basically collapsed for an hour or so.

I love working as a tactical team. Farcry multiplayer is the best when working as a team.

I guess I'm one of the only ones that likes to go Rambo-style on people...

Must be because I'm from South Cacalaky, we be raised diffr'ent in these he'r parts. Shoot...I shoot dem squirls in me trees. I 'magin they ur a'liends or som'ting.
