How do you ball?

[SpecialK]

well. . .I have a 12 gram powered blaze for the moment-so the last game was a TON of moving and about 200 shots used all day! I usually am on the move-if I can't get you with 4-10 shots I gotta try something else!

I play mostly back man, looking to get an angle and helping the team advance. I enjoy playing as a team 75% of the time, the other 25% I wait for the add to come in the teams favor and try something crazy, it only works half the time, the other half I just retreat in pain and take it like a man.

Hearing people say how they hate groups, I would have to say my favorite type of group is 2-4 (at most) people. With 2, you're quiet, and have someone to watch your back. With 4, you have more of a risk of being heard, but you have more firepower. It all depends, but I would have to say I really don't like those mass charges of 10+ people or whatever. It's like a stampede that can be heard from a mile away...

I tend to lull my opponenets into a false sense of security by running directly out into the open field.

Sometimes I have a small window of opportunity and I capitalize on it. Most of the time I get shot and sit out until the next round.

Its not full proof but I'm workign on it..

My other strategy is to flank/sneak up on the through the brush and undergrowth.

Again I'm still working on "FINE-Tuning" my technique...

all i really play is Outlaw in which we play 3-4 man teams and just cover eachother....i usually cover the back when moving and play cover, but wen i do play speed ball the only thing ive ever done is played back...but i wana get outta that habbit

I'm pretty much a frontline leader.
I run point, find the enemy, pick a fight, fall back slightly as the rest of my gunners catch up, communicate w/my backplayer about what he sees, and then direct traffic to the flanks that are weak while searching for gaps and angles to get into.
Shoot -Move-Communicate.
Wearever you find me you find a fight -Up front always - Up front and surrounded by OPFOR.

With my Blazer, I like to be moderately aggressive. The only tactic that I've found that consistantly works for me is to be on the move constantly, sifting, getting better angles. I stop at a bunker, provide some fire (maybe 10-20 rounds) then while their heads are down, move to get a better angle on them. The Blazer is nice for this because it's compact, light, accurate, and fast.

I usually play back to mid. If I am with my cousins, we will break off and flank, and then I find myself more towards the front.

The reason for this is that If I don't know my team that well, I will hang back and try to direct and or supress as they move. If I am with my cousins, we can play aggressively. We all grew up in the woods playing Army with whiffle ball bats and sticks at Grandma's house, so we can at least pretend to know what were doing. We understand the basics of movement and cover fire and flanking, and since we all know each other, we can work well as a team.
We usually split up into pairs and do as much damage as we can, where ever we find it.

That sounds so familiar. I grew up playing army with bats and hockey sticks which eventually evolved into more "advanced" weapons made of pipes and wood. But I agree, when I'm playingwith my cousin on my team, we get really aggressive. Last time I played, the one game came down to me and my cousin vs the entire other team (5 guys). We started working on them, moving, getting angles, covering each other, really pushing. Then I ran out of paint (stupid me, wasn't paying attention to shooting), and about 2 seconds later my cousin got hit. But still, the point is, I work MUCH better with just me and him than with a huge group of strangers.

[GRRWingNut]

Yeah, Jackson!

I think the only problem that we have now is that when we play, I have one cousin who just cannot stay in one place. Usually this works to his advantage, because by the time the OpFor gets a bead on him, he's moved. But he's hard to keep up with, and usually ends up out running his support! Then, if I have a move, I will ask for cover, and he will, until he sees another opportunity, then he's off!!!

I really enjoy playing with them though, because what they lack in paintball experience, they more than make up for in simple, almost instinctive tactical movement!

When I first played with my A-5, I was going up against him, me with an A-5RT, and him with a rental 98c, and we were equals. We still are: Me with my methodical and well thought out plans, and him with his speed and lack of anything that closely resembles caution!

I play VERY aggressively, I'm the guy who will crawl through poison ivy to get to you.(doesn't bother me like most other people) I will be the guy who bust's through your weak side and disrupts your advance. With the right 2-3 PBers we will take out your team with the quickness (most times!!). I'm usually either the 1st guy out or the the last one walking out of the woods, mostly the latter. I like playing the Zombie/ Predator(1-3 of the best players go out, the rest come after them) On our O/L field I hold the record for most taken out by 1 Zombie(8 elim's). I hope this brief description tells you how I play

[deadaim77]

i'm usually the front man who gets our squad where we want to be. then as they are distracting the other team i make a move to the left or right. if im lucky my team has their heads down so i can jus light them up.

Well, I'm a bigger guy, and a little older, so I tend to move a little slower than you youngsters. But slow and low does a pretty good job. I tend to stay away from the pack, and stick with moderate to heavy cover. Swampland is the best because nobody ever goes out there.....People are afraid to get wet, or something...I don't know. (Hell Survivors is a good example...) More often than not, I find myself by myself....I have more of an opportunity to look around and observe, and see what and where the action is...There's no bigger rush than creeping right into what turns out to be the middle of the other team's base, just inches from being discovered.......eventually I'll get caught, but not before I take a few with me......I hear more people asking "Where did you come from?" and "How did you make it this far in?"..........it works for me.
