I would say sniper, but after playing Battlefield: Bad Company and realizing how many people pick that, I'll say Recon/Stealth.

Since Recon isn't the same as Sniper

I do my best to support my team, in whatever way I can...
I'm one of those freaks who get satisfaction from helping others...

Get in the enemies face with my shotgun. Whilst near my own men I will heal the wounded and try to provide cover for my teammates.

I picked other.
For me its got to be either the Armoured division or Artillery Division.
Preferably the latter.
In the armoured i get to roll over my enemys while having the satisfaction of watching some enemy deep in cover with heavy weapons, go flying in every direction after their outpost gets a direct hit from my heavy shell.
In the Artillery i get to fire the largest, most powerful and most damaging guns in the army, and i get to stay way behind my own lines at basecamp sipping tea while i rain hell down.
In real life i'd be in the artillery.
But i get too bored at the back of the battle in games and therefore go for the armour.

i just play like an anarchist usually. i can snipe pretty well on most games, but i very quickly get bored of it and prefer to go up close to an opponent, dodging their attacks and infuriating them.

that said, i don't really play many first person shooters. the only one i've really gotten into recently is metroid hunters on the multiplayer mode.

Hmmm....it's a hard question, so I perfer the title 'designated marksmen.' Essentally sniping without the whole, 'I'm a mile away' factor.
I also serve support roles,mostly medic.

I'm more a support-character. I'm not too great on taking people out myself in most games, but I like to hassle the enemy or take out others while they're after my team members. In TF2 I'm usually the Demoman sitting in a high place, taking out the odd person who hasn't noticed me or someone hassling a team-member; that or a Sniper trying to keep people from taking advantage of the weaker classes.

I'm a pretty shitty Medic though, I have a tendency to try and protect my team-mates with under-powered weapons when I think my healing isn't enough; then I get myself killed and they have very little healing indeed.

If you're talking TF2 here, which it looks like we are, I'm the Heavy Weapons Guy.

You're a loose cannon sandvich, but you're a damn good cop!

I hate the word "sniper" and don't generally like the one trick pony rifles that are called "sniper rifles". I do, however like to be at a safe distance behind something hard when I shoot someone. Make of that what you will.

My approach to battle is much like my approach to sex. Get in there, flail around desperately until you find your rhythm, and hope you don't do too much damage to allied forces.

Then when it's over, I light up a smoke.

I'll be in the thick of the action, but my main focus is providing info for my teammates and ensuring the team wins the fight, even if my own kill count remains low. In base capturing games, I'm more likely to defend a base than attack the next one.

I'm a great Oher, best in the universe.

I think I'm a pretty good player in all situations in games, not just gun games. I'm a good melee or front lines person, i can do assassinations or sniping in most games pretty well, and i enjoy playing the healer or medic and keeping the team alive because no one else wants to play the class with the gun that Anti-kills people yet someone has too.

I take the biggest, loudest gun I can find (with a mag larger than 75) and fill the enemy and all the surrounding walls with lead.

I'm very uncomplicated in shooters, if I see it, I unload an entire belt of ammo at it, and anyone else that's stupid enough to pop out in the other 170 degrees of my vision. Very often, I don't let go of the trigger, I just paint a line of bullet holes to my next target!

I think people would call me a tank!

recon, i usually slip in unnoticed in the hype, killing all i can without blowing my cover, then give the team inside info and help plan an assault ... or assassinate that mofo on the light machinegun so my guys can pass ... and my favorite .. sabotageing enemy cars/tanks/guns

It depends on the situation. I have a very tactical mind so when I play something like Halo or Gears of War, where I can effectively choose in the middle of batle how I'll fight, I'll analyse where Ican be most effective by seeing how my enemies and allies are fighting. For example, if there's a CTF game in which my allies are getting pwned by the enemies defence, I'll provide cover as a sniper or in an aircraft (I'm pretty good at dogfighting generally). In something like TF2 though, I'll usually choose sniper or spy. Anything stealthy, really.
