Tactics for a Front Man.

[Wes_M]

Havent read a topic about tactics in a while, so I thought i'd post one. This is for all you "front men". Lets here your tactics to winning a one v one or one v multiples. I personally like to get an angle and snap shoot in 4 to 6 shoot bursts. Lets hear what you guys got! Latta!

Our feild has a hyperball feild, and there are satelites ontop of the bunkers. I have a warpfeed, so I just stay there with most of my head behind the satelite, and pretty much just my barrel showing and pick people off.

ENDO!

i used to play support when we went to games. now they threw me up in the grinder, and i love it. the best advice, play as a team with your support man. a front guy can only keep one man down while hes running. and even that takes away speed. make sure your team is helping you move. game breaking isnt done alone, despite what chris lasoya may be able to do. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif yes the man may be a god like Rocky, but hey, i dont think any of us are.

I used to play back or midfield, but about 3 months ago I started playing front.
This is when I only had cockers, I can't count the funny looks I got when I went front, and I was getting into snap shooting fights with angels and bushy's and winning, just goes to show that firing rate ins't everything, but it helps, since I got my e-mag I'm usually taking em out in the first attempt at snap shooting.

As for tactics, I usually try to get up as far as I can within the first ten seconds of the game, I'm usually ducked so low during this run that my barrel sometimes scrapes the ground, but I usually make it to about center field without even being spotted, and I'm usually backed up by guys I know, and they are screaming out the positions of everyone on the field, and I can usually just pop out and pick people off, I usually get eliminated, but not before taking at least 3 people with me.

Get to front as fast as possible. If you know by looking that no one is shooting at you or your bunker, set up and shoot the closest threat. Otherwise, LIVE, be a thorn in the opponents side. Give them nothing. Talk to your team, no need to be quiet now, they're already pounding your bunker and want you out of there. Have your gun shouldered, if possible, and be ready for anything (a snap-shot, being bunkered, ready to bunker someone, etc). Trust your cover guys and listen for them. They should tell you what you need to do/shoot at.

If you didn't make it to the 50, know your next move and wait for the best opportunity to make it there. Look for angles, try to catch opponents in the side. Eyes up as much as you can and head on a swivel.

Playing front is great adrenaline rush for me. Really intense, but you have to keep a cool head to help your team.

Just some quick thoughts.

i wave my hand out on one side of the bunker and try to shoot out of the other side at the same time... you can usually get them to expose themselves with this.

I like to try to make the 50 on the break but that isnt always possible so I usually go for the 30 and get ready to move up to the 50. At the 30, I see how the opposition is set up and pick my next spot. I let my cover man know and he starts laying paint. I run as low to the ground as possible and slide into the chosen bunker. Usually when I do this, only the people to my direct front are shooting at me and I have a short time frame where I have a good angle on the guys on the opposite tape. You have to really trust your cover man to let you know if someone is moving up on you and to lay paint when you want to move.
