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 play to increase my trip. Nothing like a grenade blowing you up to make you jump out of your seat.
