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.

You know you can play to win fairly, I think I do, I try my best not to spawn kill, like on omaha I snipe(if i see someone spawn on a boat I wait a sec, give them a chance to move. and then try and snipe them. I tried the spawn killing thing when i first started playing and it wasn't a challenge, it really did nothing for me.

i play to have fun. doesnt matter to me who wins unless it's like a clan match or something.

I play to win. When ever I play to have fun is when I completed the game and turn cheats on to just have some fun. Although I already played the whole game with out cheating.

I also play to have fun. If the other team is loosing bad. I switch even if the teams are even.

How much fun is it to play against a team that is really doing poorly? I would rather have a challenge and fight against the better team. This way I get better at playing

i play to do my best
i dont mind switchen teams as long as i get top 3 overall for either my team or both teams
i know it sounds like an insignificant victory that no one besides me cares about but it helps me get better

I play to mostly get my ass kicked and occasionaly go on a streak.

Low Spark your right you can play to win fairly, I guess everyone is out to win that was stupid on my part not to say that b4. But there are definately a difference btween people that play this game (not as much as other games tho) and other games that are out there just to get a high kill count/cheat and get a rush of adrenaline.


Is there anyone out there that can defend playing just to win? If so please post your comments and I will try my hardest not to flame you. Just kiddin really tho post some comments I know you are out there. (Rocket Spammers)

I play to win,but i also have fun while playing. I don't get all mad when I lose or nothing so it's more fun than a chore to me.

Most of the people play for frags, not just to win. At least on objective maps where getting the most frags does not make you win.

I always play to have fun 1st.
I bought the game because I thought it would be fun.....I invite my friends to play or watch me play because its a fun thing to do.
I play online because I meet people who enjoy the same pastimes i do (like playing this game)and thays fun......
Winning is secondary, unless it affects the real world that i live in. ...... then its not fun its life !!!!!

I play to have fun. I switch to pistol and Mauser a lot just to have fun http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

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.

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.

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.

I really enjoy just playing. I can't play at my house cause of a 56K slow ass modem but when i play at my friends house with cable I extremly enjoy playing, and thats to win BABY! BOOYA!

I play to play,then to win.

I play to play and tries to simulate cool WW2 close combat shoot outs in the streets or inside buildings. i like to just charge forward with a Tommy Gun whatever is in front of me, just to see how cool it gets. When i charge them i sometimes spray 3-4 players with 2-3 mags of ammo, and thats cool i think. Long heavy fire fights in the streets mith much action! Grenade Suicide runs towards the enemies ect, i love it!

We are the Storming Stoned Shock Troopers, and we play for fun!
