Poll: Brute Force or Lethal Efficiency?

I try to be all-around lethal whenever I play games like that. A combination of long-range support, mid-range precision strikes, and close-quarters overwhelming might. So Im not sure what that makes me.
Efficiency, there is nothing cooler than dropping an unsuspecting guy with one shot.
Though I don't play COD or any shooters like that, I'm assuming this question can also be applied to life.

Well NOT refering to any fps where bullet spam is the best all round tactic. Before i continue, Snipers lining up for that perfect one shot kill? you target just stepped back around that corner he came out of, and theres someone behind you with a shotgun and doesnt look too friendly.
Back to my point, this is more easily applied to RTS games where the brute force is a about 50 late game tanks or equivalent, and fine percison is a commando unit and maybe a few supports snuck in on an APC through a hole in your foes defecnes.
Ive seen and pulled off both of the above and theyre both equally satisfying, but fine percision is much easier to start with mostly because you can make the units quicker and it costs much less. The brute force method is a more absolute method but it takes alot of time and cash to biuld up the tanks and theres a fair chance your foe will find out and do something about it, probably with a well placed nuke.
Best is usually a combo of both, have the brute force on an attack move into your victims base, his attention will be focused there now, punch a hole in his defences on another side then add some specialised anti-biulding units and take down the base while hes distracted.

Both really. I always carry a sniper rifle for when i need to pick off an enemey from farther away to save a mate, but pack a machine gun wtih a scope so that if it comes down to it i can spray the motherf-ker that dared to get close enough to me with enough bullets to make him paste.
I think it really depends on the weapon you're using. Something automated is designed to use a fair deal of ammunition, not just to hit the target but to ensure its destruction.
Likewise, a sniper rifle is designed to kill in a single shot. You have to know how to use every weapon, and adjust your firing style to suit.

Accuracy whenever possible with a crazy brute force SMG or two in reserve (if I'm allowed). Quite frankly on most online maps you might as well get the weapon that will put down a man quickly and has a large fast firing cartridge seeing as that is what everyone else is doing.
I actually used to be a Shotgun only kind of guy but I got tired of getting cut down when I need to rush to get in firing range.

Somewhere in between. Although if given a choice between a sniper and a shotgun, I'll usually pick the sniper. But I really prefer a good old assault rifle.
Before I joined the army I was all about "Lethal Efficiency". But if there was one thing the army taught me it was that brute force is the name of the game. Aim, double tap (or burst fire which is usually more efficient in FPS games), repeat until the enemy dies and prosper. Close quarters map? Full Auto fire is your friend.
Brute Force also goes will with my playstyle of constant movement. You don't have time to line up a perfect shot when you advance on your enemies position.
