I change my main FPS occasionally. Right now it's Gears of War.

I adore making peoples skull's explode with the longshot. It's even better when they don't know where I am, or they are moving. It's especially good when they are running, or rolling, or ducking all around the cover, and their head just vanishes.

Oddly enough, I enjoy pulling out the shotgun and getting right in their face just as much. They explode into such nice meaty chunks.

I *suck* with the longshot. It always seems that if I aim directly at the head I miss, and if I aim lower half the time it results in a headshot, the other half it's a body shot and they just shrug it off. Really need more practice with that.

I'm surgical with the shotgun, though.

Also, back in the old days I always cleared rooms of enemies and then started moving against the walls and pressing "open" button all the time... habit that I always had in Wolfenstein 3D due to its sneaky secret rooms. :P

I prefer FPS games to be fun but close to realism (CoD series)

RTS I like but never play skirmish alot or MP because the tactics you face are tactics no real world opponent would use (Exception, China can zerg)

I agree with Reafis about RTS games. (Though it probably has a lot to do with the fact that I don't have the necessary twitch reflexes for controlling all the units in the game at the same time)

Hmmm, let's see here....

When it comes to gender, I have a tendency to choose female characters, but only if they're pretty. The reason being is that male characters are kinda boring and generic while playing a girl makes it more interesting. In RPGs, I usually limit females to only caster classes while I play males in a more melee oriented class (there are exceptions though, depending on the game and my mood when making a character).

When it comes to "good vs evil" I usually pick good most of the time and only play evil if I'm either forced to (like when playing Warcraft III) or when I bored of playing the good guy or already has completed the good guy campaign/storyline.

In the jedi knight games, I usually always choose the lightside in SP and the darkside when in MP. The lightside story usually has a better ending but the darkside allows me to be more aggressive in MP.

When it comes to class-based FPS MP games like DoD, I usually pick the close-combat SMG wielding classes because I prefer to run in with guns blazing. Long range classes can be fun but my aim isn't always the greatest at times so I tend to stick with "spray and pray" tactics.

Gears of War isn't an FPS.

Yeah. And your cover sheet is missing. Didn't you get the memo? If not, I'll send you another copy.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore.

I always like to play the evil side, generally because the evil folk are stronger :P

I never finished KOTOR playing light side, too boring. Dark side I did twice.
