The Strategist
This is the team’s go-to guy for strategy. He is the type of player who knows other teams as well as their styles, but also knows how to work out the trouble spots in a map. They are commonly very smart players, but not nearly the best. A Strategy player is commonly the one that won’t play unless to call strats. While they commonly realize their strengths are in preparation and not actual participation, they are often the part of the group that can feel left out. Another key thing about the strategist is that the Leader can take this roll upon himself. While a very useful gamer, they are often the low self-esteemed part of the group that feels left out of the overall team.

Work Best With: Filler, Prophet, and “For-the-Team” Guy
Work Poorly With: Leader, Veteran, and Lone Wolf
The Guardian
That’s the guy who won’t fold under the pressure of a team onslaught. They are very strong positional players and rarely leave a position once they are imbedded into it. The Guardian has one of the best senses of position in the game as they can commonly be called “campers” for their skill in hiding. That doesn’t mean they are entirely hiding types. They can easily change rolls to a rush-stopper because these players, while not the best, tend to have good shots and communication. The guardian’s flaw is his inability to move later in the round. While they are terrific for holding a spot, they fold under pressure and tend to be poor on offense. In a clutch situation from 1v5 to 1v1, these aren’t the people you look forward to being the last guy.

Work Best With: Strategist, Leader, and Radio
Work Poorly With: Veteran, Lone Wolf, and Whiner
The Prophet
How did he know I was there?! Wasn’t he on the other side of the map?!?! Those are the common things the other team will say when they are playing these types. The Prophet is the guy who can instinctively understand a situation and rotate to where he is most needed. They are the fastest players in the game in terms of tactical ability and know the positional breakdowns of the map. They are decent for clutch situations and are often some of the best shooters on a team. The major flaw of the prophet can be their instinct. If they feel something is happening, they move with it or they overanalyze the situation and get themselves killed for thinking too much. They can be the best or worst players on a team depending on a match to match situation. They are probably the least dependable gamers to consistently perform, but when they’re gaming is hot, they can’t be stopped.

Work Best With: Radio, Leader, and Basic
Work Poorly With: Lone Wolf, Baiter, and Guardian
The “Radio”
“He’s on B plant, watch your 6 for the second guy”. This is your “radio”. They are often the players who will break the silence in a match and call out the enemy positions. They are very good team players and are happy to call out a position rather than get the kill if they see it beneficial to the team. All of their efforts go into the group and their individual skills aren’t as honed as the other classes of gamers. However, like all gamers, they have a flaw. “Radio” gamers can be overly talkative and block up the team’s communications. They may be giving out useful information, but that time spent blocking the sound of another player’s headset can get him killed. A good “Radio” is precise and exact in his coordinates and can be valuable to any team.

these fit me the best
The Veteran
Of course, you know this player? This is the type of player that can be sitting in a situation where he is surrounded and is just sitting back, relaxing. These are the strongest players overall in the game. While they may not always be the best in terms of skill, they are the best in keeping the team together. They are like the Leader, but much more content to sit back and play with the team rather than monitor it. They can aid almost all the players on their team. The veteran has a flaw in his armor though. The common veteran player tends to have two major issues in his game play. First, they can think themselves better for having the longer term of experience. The secondary problem that may come with a veteran is an attempt to spread too much of his own knowledge. They can quickly get into a power struggle with a Leader and hurt a clan.

The Baiter
Oh boy, everybody loves this class of gamer! Of course, when you think about it, this type of gamer can be useful to the team. They have often developed into crack shots who quickly deal a fatal blow to the enemy upon the baiting of a team-mate. These types of players can save a team or destroy it, depending on their skill level. If a player is a baiter, they need to have terrific accuracy and speed to avenge the death of a teammate. The baiter can sometimes be a negative influence on the team’s chemistry however and can quickly destroy a team if no one feels safe when this player is watching their back.

Work Poorly With: Lone Wolf -
im one of the worst mixe, whiner and prophet,
( evre1 who scrimed with me probably had to mute me at some time or another, although i normally only qq about lag). and... im a pro at guessing peoples thoug and plans in real life, not so much in crossfire apparently, of course i always get the: there gonna rush b the first round since its a pro clan and their would never go for the obvious choice for the first round, a little bit wrong -
Honestly, this is probably me. Almost always ace, and a lot of times I get blamed for baiting when I'm not really trying to, I'm just playing slow and they're just running up there. But when we play good teams, I start playing stupid and get myself killed like crazy. Not really one to start calling names thoughTechnoHeart wrote: »The Baiter

The Ace
This is the person you KNOW will get the win, or help the comeback when he is outnumbered 1 to 5. They probably plays much like a loner, however they can take one for the team as well. They tends to ride the top of the scoreboard and their team usually wins. Their main weakness is that when things start looking bad, and they know they cant win. They starts to whine and blame others for being such a noob.
sometimes bait though
