Reasonably aggressive with quite a lot of rage-gelling involved, I also prefer to use no missiles.

 

This is pretty much me in a nutshell. Missiles are for raging, not spawn nuking.

Joking aside I think most people are satisfied if the game went fast and smooth. Also, playing aggressively and being a team player are not mutually exclusive things.

[GruntKitterhand]

Specifically regarding missiles, if it's wave 8 or 9 in a game which didn't have targets on an objective wave, and I'm confronted by a spawn, I will use a missile 99% of the time.  I have 6 of them, and know I won't need more than 4 in wave 10, so what else are they for?  Certainly not for use on wave 11!!!

[N7 Tigger]

I play pretty aggressively and follow the golden rule 'kiting is for scrubs', be it solo or team game.

My playstyle involves excessive rage-gelling, and rage-nuking geth primes and geth, in general.

 

As for the four points you brought up,

1. I couldn't care less about score. If I am playing with someone I know to be an excellent player, I use the score to see if I am pulling my weight. A sub-20 pug gold game is a great game IMO. 

2. I try to detonate and set-up combos for team mates. If someone switches to biotic/tech depending on majority of the team's loadouts, I'd say thats a pretty good synergy. 

3. Probably one of the better examples of team-play, but one that is rarely seen in pugs. Sometimes it happens and makes the objective go smoothly.

4. Spawn-nuking in team games annoys me to an extent. If you have to spawn-nuke to make the game smooth and quick, that is not an effective team imo. If ppl are nuking for the sake of score, it's a horrible team.

 

Gotta love it when your in a lobby with two Asari and a Fury and a Vorcha Soldier joins and immediately equips Disruptor Rounds. Four Biotics vs. Cerberus on Gold is so much fun. If one is a Vorcha alternating between Flamer spam and spraying everything in sight with and SMG loaded with Disruptor Rounds, not so much.

Reasonably aggressive

 

Still laughing at this after 10 mins..... the master of understatement.

[CrimsonN7]

 

Attempted aggressive maneuvers, instant death frequent.

[Creator Limbs]

I'm aggressive. Sub 25 or bust. Sub 30 for platinum. I don't have the patience to babysit pugs.

My playstyle is having no playstyle at all. Just do what you have to do, to be effective at this very present moment.

Lies! Your playstyle is hiding around a corner waiting to steal my kills

[cronshaw]

Is dumbgressive a word?

[Derpy]

My play style is to kill EVERYONE.

[Sailears]

So. much. innuendo.

I can't read that OP without seeing anything else tbh.

 

Anyway for a serious answer - I like to play with my mooks.

 

Never understood the appeal of speeding through a match and nuking spawns. I do understand the appeal of speedrunning itself - that being competing for time rather than enjoying the combat itself. But in a normal match, nuking spawns is boring and unnecessary - especially for players who don't need the credits who have maxxed manifests, time should not be an issue for the match, but how much fun you have in enjoying the combat.

 

My fun comes from playing with the mooks - the manner in which I deal with them leading to personal satisfaction.

 

For example - here's a scenario: Standing at the top of the central ladder on FBW - you see a mook down below to the left of the metal cover at the bottom of the ladder. You have a javelin.

Do you simply:

- Point and shoot

Or do you:

- dodge roll down to the lower level, straightening up in front of the mook for a no-scope point blank body shot?

 

This is  the entire point of playing for me - the second option is more sexy, more stylish and a hell of a lot more fun. 

 

You don't get extra points for it, and mostly no one will ever notice, which is a shame - but it is a lot more fun.

 

It's how I execute the moves that matters - doing some cool dodges and weaving through enemy units to land a finishing melee blow on some target for example. Or you could be boring and sit back and shoot.

 

Bosses are just the waste of time to pad out the waves - unless I'm playing a high dps kit (MM hurricane, javelin, etc) the only fun that comes from these are using them as tech/biotic detonation sources or for funny sabotage kills.

 

Yes if necessary I can turn it on to compete for kills in a good team and keep up score, but in a "normal" pug match I prefer to take my time and savour the game.

[Ashevajak]

Is dumbgressive a word?

 

No.  It's a lifestyle.

[Losing You to You]

With a team, I play extremely aggresively. I'll often die in the earlier waves and use all consumables to tank while I keep on firing or for rage-gelling (my friends aren't going to get those revive medals from me, eh). I hate using missiles though, they're mostly for those oh sh!t situations, and if you have good teamplay and synergy, cobras are superfluos. If there's Geth/other horrible game mechanics involved, I also tend to swear a lot on TS

 

Strangely, whenever I'm doing duos or solos I start playing a lot more cautiously, I die a lot less and try to play aggresively, but safe.

[FireRider100]

I genuinely didn't until Ox pointed it out. Doesn't change my answer though.

 

Ironically I thought you had with the answer you gave

 

I can't read that OP without seeing anything else tbh.

 

That was actually the point of my post. I was beginning to wonder if I was being too subtle

[chcknwng]

I would have been more agressive, but I play with Europeans.

[OniGanon]

Ha, I actually took this topic seriously for a minute there.

 

Well played, OP.

I wouldn't do that! I wait for you to revive me then I THANK YOU! Because I have manners you scrub!

[TheShadyEngineer]

I prefer to keep my enemies at mid-long range and like CC. I also prioritize targets based on lethality and not distance away. For example, I'll focus on rocket troopers before going for the prime or the pyro that's getting danger close to me, I'll take out the ravager on top of the ramp instead of the brute that's 10m away and so on. Edit: By the way. this tactic got me killed a whole bunch of times but I don't mind taking one for the team.

 

I also prefer to retreat and fight another day rather than standing my ground and getting killed. Only exception would be a hack objective.

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

sometimes i get kicked after a match if i play too aggressively. 

[Aetika]

I use cover A LOT.

I check flanks too often.

I tend to get separated from others even though I don´t actually plan to.

I die A LOT.

I have compulsion to revive people.

And I love sniping.

 

I am not aggressive enough to be true badass pro, so my score is usually quite average even when I top the scoreboard.

 

edit: my god, the op is brilliant with innuendo, I can´t unsee it now!

[Sailears]

Some more scenarios off the top of my head to illustrate my point:

 

1. A possessed praetorian is down to a few bars, being focused by you and other teammates. There are a couple of seeker swarms, a scion and troopers between you and this praetorian - however all are focused on teammates. To finish the praetorian, do you:

- Keep shooting until it's dead, from a safe position

- see your opportunity - with some elegant forward dodge rolls, aerial cartwheels and so on, you navigate the enemies in the way, avoiding all hits, and seamlessly execute a heavy melee to finish off the possessed praetorian.

 

2. You are playing a grenade class on dagger - there are a handful of mooks in the bottom pit, all in lovely grab positions. Do you:

- Throw a few grenades and shoot what's left. Faster is better, no?

- See a pathway through some grabs using cover turns to block LoS and seamlessly work your way through each of them in turn, with an elegant combination of melee, shooting and power use.

 

I suppose it just comes down to the reason why I play - another form of artistic expression - just like any art form (music, dancing, gymnastics, etc...), with the added challenge of real time mental strategy and planning from something like chess. The game does not reward you with extra score for executing moves in a stylish manner, but the nature of video games like this is that it does allow a freedom to put your personality into the moves.

I tend to play very carefully the first few waves, because PUGs are so untrustworthy.  They need to prove themselves to be competent before I will start taking risks to kill enemies faster.  I do tend to look at the scoreboard for about the first 4 waves to see if there are any weak links, and it's not unusual for me to be in 3rd or 4th place at Wave 4 and then end up finishing #1.  And I completely agree with the people who say that the best matches are the ones with the smallest point difference between #1 and #4.

EDIT: didn't get the joke, read too fast.  Nice.
