The Types of Gamers that Play First Person Shooters.

[akhi216]

There are players who seems to fall into "categories" who play fps games. I thought I'd have a little fun naming a few.

First there's the Pacifist.

The Pacifist is generally a young child (under 8) who's parent's don't monitor they games that they play or have a "cool" older sibling who doesn't obsess over their ranking and let them play. The Pacifist thinks guns are evil, so they just run around the map collecting firearms, rocket launchers, bazookas, and occasionally mines and grenades until someone gives them a headshot and all of their "collectibles" spread out all over the place. What separate the Pacifist from other gamer types is that they never fire a single shot. A Pacifist will run right by you to make a beeline for a gun that's in their sights. Some Pacifists run up to two people engaged in an intense gunfight, wait, then head to toward the first body that drops only to get dropped too.

To have fun with a Pacifist follow them around and give them a headshot when they're in an area where you know where they'll respawn that has guns lying around. Position yourself to give them another headshot next to the gun that will be the first one in their sight as they respawn then pwn them as soon as they pick it up. Rinse and repeat to your enjoyment.

Next up there's the Jumper.

The Jumpers is either very young or not very intelligent. The Jumper thinks that they can avoid getting killed if the continuously jump. The Jumper never realizes that they're accuracy gets compromised with all that jumping, but they don't care, because in their eyes they're smarter than all of the non-jumpers.

The Jumper can be easily taken out by simply timing shots with their jumps.

The best way to kill a Jumper is to equip a rocket launcher/bazooka and fire a blast at the ground where they land. A more devious way to kill a Jumper is to equip a shotgun, run up on the Jumper when their close to an edge, and blast them while they're in the air and watch them fall to their death.

The Loony

The Loony is an person who is extremely good at the game and have gone mad due to sleep deprivation from countless hours of their life spent playing the game. Too many hours of having to endure lag has driven the Loony crazy. The Loony will relentlessly hunt you down continuously because you either killed him in a manner that he didn't like or you kept him from getting an achievement last round. It is not out of the nature of the Loony to blow himself and you up with a rocket launcher/bazooka just to get their revenge. Loonies commonly yell expletives while after their "prey." Some Loonies have to be reported as they won't let the limited medium of a game server stop them from harassing you. They'll spam your inbox with expletives, cries, and even threats. Some will even continuously send you invites to play more matches with them.

The best way to deal with the Loony is to report them and block and/or choose to avoid them if possible,

The Camper

The Camper is led to believe that they have a foolproof plan: hangout (or camp) in the corner of a building and fire at anything that moves.

It's impossible to come up with a one size fits all strategy for the Camper because they can set up so many ways. The easiest Camper to kill is the one who uses a sniper rifle. You can just run up on them from the side they aren't facing and fire away. If you're feeling a little devious you can toss a grenade in their precious corner and let them see you camp in their spot for a second before the respawn.

Remember to watch out for "smart" Campers that set mines up at the end of each hall/walkway.
