Poll: Long, Short or Medium?

Medium range. Long range weapons tend to have small clips, long reloading times or poor rate of fire. Assault rifles ftw, as in the FPSs I play, a bullet, at most two is what it takes from an assault rifle to kill an enemy.
Short range... there is a reason why modern-day armies don't use shotguns outside of room-to-room combat and pistols are just plain sucky both in games and in real life (in full on combat-zone situations).
Melee... Well, the saying 'full of holes like a swiss cheese' comes to mind when I'm thinking of people using melee-weapons. There is a reason why only total newbies and noobs get knifed in games. Naturally this doesn't apply to Master Chief, because he's such a pussy that he hides behind a regenerative energy shield.

Generally, I prefer the sniper rifle, as I rather like having up to a half-mile between me and the poor sod on the recieving end.
That said, in multiplayer, the poor sod tends to spawn right behind me.

Medium range fighting for me, close combat such as shotgun is to easy, and sniping is to boring having to wait for a target to come by. In my opinion the only thing you really have to worry about when fighting in this style is players who are better than you, "fastest shot always wins."
I like long range, I think better with a bit of time, and when I'm sniping I'll always try to guess what the other team's next move is going to be.
Really depends on the situation. I tend to go for Sniper or other long range weapons in most Halo games, because it's like a point and click game, only when I click on people's heads, they die. I'll always go for Shotgun as my main weapon in L4D, though, and I tend to use melee weapons whenever I can.
I guess that I average out as a medium range player.

I'm terrible at sniping, and inaccurate with melee weapons.
And I hate short range, as it just gives the enemy a bigger target.
Unless I ambush them, I stick with medium range

I use medium for general purposes, but I prefer to go long range; there's something about shotting someone in the head form a distance with a sniper rifle that's immensely satisfying, esepcially when they didn't see it coming, were moving erratically (skillful shot is a joyous shot) and must be fuming by now.
