When I play at lan parties there are the guys who use shotguns, and the guys who use pistols. The guys who snipe, and the guys who rush. Which is your favorite weapon and tactic to use?

I do anything and everything as the battle requires of me. Never will I repeat my tactics unless I know the enemy has no clue what I am doing.

I rush in with the pistol. If it takes me more then 3 shots to kill someone i punch myself.

Snipeing is to easy and to safe. I like to get close. I must admit that headshots are fun though.

If your talking about like CTF BG, I usually rush with a pistol and sniper and keep them cooped up in there base. (If i miss a headshot with the sniper i get pretty angry). Once i enter their base do a silent switch to the shotgun (pick it up then immediately press your melee button, the enemy ususally hears it if you pick one up normally). Then wait until the right moment, and take their flag. Never take it without a plan or back-up support, its just suicide. Once you learn correct headshot leading its a piece of cake.

CTF, Im a pistol rusher all the way, however I have to use the hill for cover (We only play blood gultch) for all you snipers out there, My rush isn't really a rush though, i zig and zag to mess the snipers shot. When i get colse to the flag there are people who took my stadgey, gaurd the walkin entrance with a shotgun, as soon as they round the coner, blow there heads off, so i do 1 of two things, I either, have a rl handy to blow they away , or i have camo with rl and sneek past take teleport and drop flag wait for chace then blow em away. But the pistol is great, great range and amazingly accurate.

i use the pistol and sniper rifle, i always hit them in the head though, coz if u dont, u give away ur poistion.
on the couple of occasions i miss, i wait 4 them to come to me, then i switch to pistol, and run backs while throwing grenades and shooting them in the head. its funny, killin them and waiting 4 them to type a swear word onto the screen.
BUT REMEBER TO TAKE ENOUGH AMMO 4 DA SNIPER, ITS A LONG JOUNREY BACK DOWN, WITHOUT IT.

Sniper rifle, 100% of the way. Delightful way to play a game, really.

Since I have a slow DSL connection (we are switching internet providers this month) and the connection is split 3 ways, I have had to change the way I play. I used to love to snipe, but with lag it's useless. Ever since I found this out, I've switched to weapons with larger clips, like in Rainbow Six 3 I rarely if ever snipe and I am always the first guy out in the open.

It all depends on the weapon you use. I'd hate to be the guy sniping with a shotgun. As for me the pistol was the best, but I still liked the needler. I wish they had put one in Blood Gulch though.

I'm alone, where is my microphone.

I use the sniper right in the middle and grab the rocket launcher. I then shoot 1 round at the teleporter thing and kill almost 1 person everytime. I then keep moving right below the hill so I can see the base and the teleporter than, do all that stuff.

I always rush with the pistol, it's not only for sniping ;)
but shotgun is best at close range (headshots;))

hmmm, open maps, definalty sniping and moving constantly. but in a closer environment, either plasma pistol and shotgun, or needler and pistol either way, there both quick deaths :D

Stalking. I carry the pistol for long range attack and the shotgun for close defense. If I am in a more open area, I simply replace the pistol with the sniper rifle.

BG and Sidewinder is a pistol/sniper or shotgun/sniper combo, unless there's a rocket launcher around in which case the first gun has to go. But sniping's cool, and I'll do it a lot. I just don't do it so much when it's an all guns match, where I use the pistol more

Snipe
Pistol is the best weapon in the game its much better than the shotgun
In close range its good but the shotgun is better. But you dont get close range evry day.
You attack your opponent from a grater distance and dont wate till he gets near you...lol.

Depends on the map. I usually play suppression with my pistol, but if its anything smaller than bloodgultch, I like to grab a plasma rifle or needler and have fun with it. . . well the fun is with the needler because the pr is actually pretty good.

Oh, and if you can catch yourself in future posts, don't brag about -I only use 3 shots with my pistol EVERY time-. . . lying on an internet forum to impress me is just plain sad.
