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

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 !!!!!
