RTS gamers

This post was officially added by CORNMASTER from his blog wtfbbqiztis.blogspot.com as a contribution for this AWESOME blog !

When it comes to playing RTS the people you'll stumble upon are either a friendly one or someone who just wants to OWN you bad! So what kind of RTS gamer are you?

First of all the most common RTS gamer is the turtle gamer this gamer likes to fight units with money . They won't bother to move and neither will he go to you they just stand there with his base all cramp up and when you rush them you'll lose more units than them because them base is probably filled with useless and useful units and tons of turrets . The counter? Artileries and superweapons will kill that cramp minded person and will eventually grant you victory.

Second is the sneaky RTS gamer this gamer will be sneaky , very SNEAKY! They'll use stealth units , cloak units , harrasing units and worst of all they'll blow up your vital points in your base for example say Red Alert 3 if you don't protect your vital buildings say the ore refinary and the construction site it won't be long till you see it sold by your opponent who sends a engineer to rape your economy . The counter? Rush them there's no point in defending agaist the sneaky bastards they'll eventually work a way to get through your defense and besides rushing the sneaky bastards will be cake because most sneaky units can't go frontline like the StarCraft Dark Templars with a UBER damage but a really fragile body.

Third is the thinker whose tactics are unpredictable , the thinkers are great at thinking massivly they'll make thier strategy unpredictable by just spying at his base with scouts and you'll soon find out his strategy when your base is in rubbles . These thinkers are geniuses or insane masterminds they'll be unpredictable and their way of winning is to make you paranoid you'll never know what he'll send to hit you , take Tiberium Wars for example the Nods are known for thier dirt cheap units and the venoms have illusions so whenever you scout thier bases they'll spend a few thousands on fooling you to buy anti airs but instead they are actually doing the opposite of you thus making it your weakness the anti anti airs . The counter? Simply mix your units a mixture of all 3 types anti vehicles , infantry and air but that's not all use guerilla tactics to ensure your big mixed up battalion survives longer because he'll kill the anti types one by one and soon you won't notice you're missing something so do micro your units well.

Fourth is the sidewinder these people find alternatives to taking you down . Rather than assaulting you or ambushing you the sindewinders do something unique either harrasing you to death like the muta-stack in StarCraft or the hit and run twinblade rush in Red Alert 3 these people are not the friendliest people in-game due to thier odd gameplay which makes them a less depending team player so don't expect big guns from them they'll just use small weapons that make big difference. The counter? Use something that kills massive amounts of harrasing units like the Science Vessel's irradiate which kill muta-stacks like eating cake or like Red Alert 3 simply make your base harras proof by placing turrents strategicly.

Lastly is the your worst nightmare the AGGRESOR! These people are insanly aggresive during gameplay only they may be friendly on the outside but when it comes to a friendly 1v1 or a 2v2 these people just can't die . They are masters of micro and macro and a anything goes attitude these people dive into the heap of danger just you make you paranoide and rush you just to make you breathe faster they use guerilla tactics and then rush you with a heap of missle , a few hundreds of artilery shells and then to top it off the cherry on top of a good sundae a big massive imprevious to small guns tank like Company of Heroes's Tiger Ace , the Red Alert 3's Apocalype tank or the insane MOTHER F-er of StarCraft a big bad fully upgraded , fully researched Battlecruiser with a mind whopping 29DPS , 250 EN , and a bad ass armor of 9 makes it uber gay. The counter? Keep pushing him off the ledge ensure you take most of their resources because that's where they get thier power from mindless spending in resources !

So now that you know about the five common people in RTS what kind of RTS gamer are you and your friends? :D

CORNMASTER out! :D
