Mostly defend/tactical attacks.

Prefer to take out opponent by starving him to death and not let him get any expansions. Instead of going head on attacks into his base.

Mine changes so much I won't even vote..

When I first started I was all defense, then I got into aggressive play, but I sucked so I couldn't execute properly..now I switch between macro and aggressive..

I defiinitely enjoy aggressive play more, especially early game. But that might have something to do with the fact that I'm bad mid and late game

I normally play aggressive because I suck in the late game.

I play very aggressive. I fall apart late game though I know how to really give it to them hard during mid game.

I like to play a defensive macro style with lots of harass, but it seems like I always end up getting pissed off and becoming really aggressive.

Due to SC1, I like to play a macro-oriented game, where I let my game mechanics do the work, and if there is an opening or chance to win or gain a huge advantage, I take it.

I thought macro-orientated play is now the standard play?

Ehh, anyways I still think macro-orientated just because macro'ing is my strength while my micro is horrible.

EDIT: Oh wait...are we talking about SC2? :|

I think I'm pretty macro oriented. I don't know what "standard" for SC2 is and I'm not all that greedy or aggressive.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I can never let myself cheese anyone because I'd feel bad if I did.

I meant Starcraft I.

I only have one friend nobody appreciates the fine art of cheese.

Not an inelegant or crude cheese, like six pool, mind you. Assimilator first PvZ cheese.
But why?

Most of the time I like to go aggressive with my first few zealots/sentries, since whenever I try to go for a macro oriented play, I get owned by early rushes. Must be extremely bad luck on my part or something..When I'm playing custom games I like to cheese a lot, because the players there don't seem to know the game too too much, but then I feel bad after I win =(

greedy. my preferred style is just to have so many resources and units that it doesn't matter how badly I play or how many units I suicide stupidly because I can just make more. example: zvp endless flood of hydra/ling, not even trying to storm dodge

the above applies to both BW and SC2
