werent games made to have fun? playing to win is too stressful and sometimes you find yourself being mad because you died in a computer game and its bothering you, jeeze, give me a break as long as you are having fun playing the game and feeling a pretty good feel of WWII (or whatever genre) then its truly a good game

i just have fun, i mean thats what its all about. but i also do my best to TRY to win but i play fairly, i dont camp or spawn kill or use rockets or excesive sniping or shotguns, its all about the rambo style. go into a room with out knowing how many of em are in there guns a flameing http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif

I play to play. I always go to the losing team. It is not fun to really beat the pants on someone. I like the challenge and you get better.

I wast thinking about this thread last night while I was playing. I like to play objective maps with 28+people.
I think i do play to win. I snipe(axis), I like to have at least 2 kills on the Hunt and V2 maps. Omaha if I hit 10 kills I think I'm doing good. On the Bridge at least 1 kill, but that I always try to work my way to the objective(tend to die before i get there.
So, yes I do play to win, number of kills isn't that important, and it's fun trying to win.

"The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys" -Steve Winwood/Traffic

i play for fun, its all just a game.

If I played to win, the disappointment would be overwhelming.
I like to join whichever side needs the numbers.

Hit me, but dont shit me!

I play to kill people, because i get exhausted if i get to the last places.So I play hard.I play for my team.

Actually I play to be the best, and if I paly the best I help my team to win.Of course, I try to make the game fun for everyone, so I don't camp very long, for example if I am the last man standin vs 5 allies when i am Axis, I prefer trying to attack them straight and let the others play than camp in the roof of the church (map: The Hunt.)

Of course, sometimes I just try my luck with the KAR98k and just try to waste em in close combat.When I am Allie, I just try get a few ppl join my company and assault them by throwin nades to the Sniperhotel and then just screw em in close combat, Tommy Gun sayin ratatatatatatata http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif.Out.

This is a debate I have contemplated for years and I just want to see what you guys think.

I personally play games to play, If I loost then I loose and if I win then I win, the most important part is playing the game.

Example: you switch sides in the middle of a team match to even out the #'s, even if that means going to the side that is loosing. This is playing to play.

Example: hanging out at respawn points to get kills. This is playing to win.

I think, in regards to the online gaming community, it would be a better place if more people played to play, you know to actually go out there and try to simulate as close as possable a real battle from WW2.
Yea I know that this is a game and its not suposed to be real but it is another thing to take advantage of a games weaknesses to get a higher kill count.

and no I am not bitching if thats what some a you are gonna say, I am just trying to bring up a relavant and intelegent topic.

I hope to hear what you all have to say about this.

I dont care if the team I'm on is winning or losing just so my kills even out.

I mainly play to play, but I love racking up the kills and I hate when I'm in a slump (which happens often). So in some way, I guess I'm competitive. However, I don't really care about a teams score when I join a game. I tend to pick the team that needs more help. I like playing with the underdogs.
