I managed to fire 7 shock hits in a row against Freon players last night. I suppose eventually blind luck has to result in things hitting!
zeus:
Freon is quite often a game based on statistics - if you constantly take the right decision after right decision then eventually you will hit those targets / thaw those teammates / win that map
But if the alternative is to hop around and spam rockets randomly then there is no way you can ever produce good results over long run
Paul:
Let's use the right words so we don't offend anyone...
kops:
I'm one of those players that likes to jump around and spam rockets. Not because I like to specifically spam rockets but because I have little to no aim with hitscan weapons and, after 25 years or so of trying to improve my aim, have a play style built around thawing and getting the odd kill where I can. It's fun!
You see, not everybody playing yearns to hone their craft, to get X/Y/Z efficiency with certain weapons, to learn the flow of maps, to test themselves against the best players, to instinctively work their way down a decision tree in the middle of a 4-player melee scrap. A lot of people are here for, well, fun. Fun and the familiarity of playing a game that's been around for longer than some players here have been alive. We enjoy the familiar faces, the jokes, the banter and sometimes we do well, sometimes we don't.
A lot of people aren't looking for good results; we strive for that in many things we do in life but not necessarily here. There will always be more skilled players and that's great - they can crack on with their games and it's often a joy to watch.
In the meantime, there's the rest of us. The ones that are here for the people, the games, the nostalgia and to just play and have a good time. And if that involves rockets and goop, then that just adds to the variety of players we have.
Going back to the OP, I haven't really noticed any differences between players from different areas of the world except the Finnish And US players tend to be a little quieter on Freon. The Dutch players can be a tad 'boisterous' too :)

Mans, do I need?
