Sinful Sunday: using the same weapon or trick to win
It´s Sunday which means it´s time for another confession, this time I´d like to talk about using the same weapon(s) or tricks to win games. Do you know people who do this? In a fighting game they keep using the same move to win or in a first person shooter they can only play with that one overpowered weapon. But let´s not forget running to that special weapon that spawns in a map that makes killing other people in the game so much easier. Of course it´s all allowed, it´s not against the rules, but it´s not very sporting if that´s all that you´re going to do. But are games meant to be fair or is everything allowed to win?
In my Team Fortress 2 days I played a lot with the soldier, with his rocket launcher I could beat almost anyone and I think I made a lot of people mad by using that a lot. It´s because with the soldier you can get easy kills, it doesn´t take a skilled person to use that class and it usually only takes one or two good shots to kill someone in the game. I guess the same can be said about snipers in CoD games, often quick scoping and getting those one shot kills. But I think it takes a bit more practice to improve your aim with a sniper rifle than with a rocket launcher. As much as people hate these weapons and people using these weapons it never keeps people from using them and why would you? If you can have an advantage on someone else then that´s not a bad thing, is it? I guess not, but it´s not very sporting to constantly do the same thing and use the same tricks. At least people won´t bother you to be friends with you, just don´t be suprised if you got a lot of bad feedback from the people you play with. I know some people don´t care about that and that´s good for them, but if you´re looking for friends online then it might be a smart idea to try and use other weapons or tactics.
When I think about fighting games I think about me getting angry a lot, I´m not good at fighting games and often I forget all the combinations. Which often leaves me trying out something and fail or using the same combo most of the time. It´s not that I like that, but it´s my way of getting through a match. It´s also one of the reasons why I prefer not to play fighting games, especially not online. Of course when you play with friends then all bets are off, you do what you have to do to win! Have you ever heard of the game Bushido Blade on the Playstation? That´s a fun game fighting game where you have weapons and you fight against others, but the thing in this game is that if somebody wounds you in your leg or arm then you can´t use that arm or leg anymore. Which means that you´ll have to kneel or crawl sometimes and with one arm you´ll hit your opponent not as hard as you would with two hands. It´s really one of those games that can turn your friends into your enemies, especially when you use the same weapon or combo to win. But don´t worry, at the end of the match we were friends again!
