I am sure many of you here think having your own gaming style. Some of you does, but for a matter a fact, many follow the same pattern. I have here a list about the most common styles among SS gamers.
We begin with the Noob Style.
The newbie, who never played such games before without reflexes, will mostly do as in single player. Pick up a Minigun, stand still and fire against incoming opponents. Just try to do this in Little Trouble when fighting Villains or DWF. Impossible. The noob will later learn that these guys aren´t fighting like Kleers (running forward), rather stabbing from behind or moosh with double shotty...
Next out is the Camper Style.
Campers exist everywhere, in any game. Sniper Rifles are the most common weapon of choice, but in Serious Sam, almost any weapon works. They ALWAYS use first person view to snipe out the best targets.
The camper is a patient person, who could sit for several minutes just picking anyone off. This guy is dangerous. This is to anyone: If you hear the famous DITHCOOWWFF! sound, quickly run and hide. Use third person viewmode to peak around corners, and try spot the coward. If you should locate him, be sure to have picked up the Laser Gun, and then jump out spraying green beams at the camper.
Pup
PUPBOY ALERT! PUPPY WARNING! These famous words warn other players that a Pup has entered the game. The Pup doesn´t care about any "training" or "skill", he just run directly towards the nearest Power Up. The most common pup to use is Serious Damage. It makes the weapons do twice the damage, and the Pup can kill ANYONE from ANY range. Watch out. The best way to kill this freak is to call upon your fellow clanmembers, and give this one a match he will never forget.
The Cheater
This guy is a true A**HOLE. If he doesn´t get what he wants, he will use illegal hacks and cheats to win. Most common are the swimmers. They usually go with noclip, or the such, oftenly making the player model half visible. Others are Spammers. They just join the server to make it as laggy as possible for the other players by typing in-necessary letters in the Console. Fortunately, you can ask the Server Admin to ban this sucker.
The Clanmember
These are the veterans of Serious Sam. Very skilled in any game and map, and real professionals. The clanmember must follow certain rules, such as no spamming, or cheating in any way, nor trashtalking. Best of all, they are sportsmen. If someone manage to kill one of them, the members answer with "NICE SHOT!" or "GG!". GG stands for "GO GO!", and is a very polite way of cheering other non-clanmembers up. If you are lucky, you might meet the Leader in a match. Earn his respect, and you MAY be asked to join their clan.
The Average Player
An average player is the one who has been playing for several years, and keep getting better and better. They oftenly have a goal to reach, like joining a clan or start their own. Self, I am the Average Player.
The Solo
A Solo Player is the one who thinks he is better on his own. Almost like a mercenary, this one uses every skill and opportunity there is to frag their opponent. They are oftenly using Pups, but still play fair. These guys (or girls) can sometimes be asked to join a clan because of their skill in battle, but refuses.
"Alone but strong" is their motto.
The Alias
Aliases, are oftenly just clanmembers playing for fun with different names than their normal nametag, making them seem like innocent noobs. The names are oftenly: Player 1, Killer, Player 8, N00b. Sneaky bastards.
The Wannabe
A real plague among most clans, they use the clan´s tag next to their own name to get more "respect" among other players. I experienced than once I was playing with Villains, and a Wannabe joined with their nametag. Someone suddenly noticed him, and he was kicked out.
The Berserker
Uh oh. This bull doesn´t care if he win or lose, he just keep mowing everyone down with the first weapon he finds. Oftenly blows himself up with his victim, and can be annoying at times. Jumps gladly into any fight, and often gets a frag or two. A brutal techique, but useful....
Last, we have the Silent One.
A mysterious player, is incredibly skilled at anything, and can even kill the most toughest clanmembers or Solo´s. Often changes his name, or use the most wierd name found. He does never use pups, but does also not have any good nor bad reputation when it comes to gaming. He/she shows no respect to anyone, and is always silent when playing. Wierd....
This was Guide: Part 2 about gaming Styles. There may be more to come.
Until then, I hope to see you on the servers. GG! :thumbs:
