Focre of Nature back up!

I just saw the new LAOpen game between naughty dogs vs exile & i want to know whats up with these people! its in the mardigras aftershock vs dynasty too. one team is out & one teammate just turns around & attacks the other team when they hang the flag! i dont like this bad sportsmanship!

[Load SM5]

It's called a dead man's walk and, while a dirty tactic, is very legal, and as you saw, very effective when done right. I thought the video was great. The Mardi Gras incident was all together different.

[iisp0tii]

load, enlighten me on this dead man's walk thing. your tellin me if your the last one out, you can shoot the last of the team???

[Load SM5]

He was never shot. He got up and just walked back towards his dead box like he'd been hit but never put his gun up or plugged his barrel. He just walked, dejected, like he'd been shot and waited for all the opposing team to come towards him to hang the flag. That's when he turned and shot them out. Really cool play.

I agree with you on that one but then again, maybe I'm too honorable:o Yaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn

[iisp0tii]

oh kick @$$!!!!!!! that rules! i might have to try that out one time, but you have to say it is a bit dangerous if they see your arm band still on & you get shot in the back acouple times. i must say its not that bad of a move now that i understand it! hurray for load!

Really uncool play if you ask me... That's not what paintball is about, but either way if I see someone without their gun in the air at a tourney they're gonna get lit up because of stupid *crap* like this. I think it should be a rule that if you fake dead and then continue to play your team should be penalized points and forfeit that game.

I also said "Dirty Tactic". I would'nt do it personally, but I have to admire the guy having the cahones and the acting skill to pull it off. And if he gets lit up for doing it, so much the better.

I've seem a lot of dirty tactics that rub against the idea of 'honorable' play. I don't agree with the use of any of them.

How is that really "uncool" play. I think it was a very level headed decision. The player was facing 4 to 1 odds.

If you light someone up because they don't have there gun up in the air that is "uncool" play on your part. You should be aware on the field whose has been eliminated. If not one shot will make sure they are, there is no need to light them up.

Penalized points? Forfeit the game? Come on now. Let's be serious for a moment. Because the player tries a move that could have gotten him eliminated more easily than it actually working points should be lost, the game forfeited?

Rules will not have to be made for the deadman's walk. It has happened once now. Now every team will be watching for it. One might work now and again, in the rush of a game. But the majority of people will remember, and they will communicate to their team how many opposing players reamin so that they will not be beaten by one man.

Just my dos cents.

[Hysperion]

I disagree. The player wasn't facing 4 to 1 odds....the player was facing 5 to 5 odds and his team was eliminated fairly.....that is a diry tactic and yes I will light up someone if their plug isn't in, gun isn't in the air, and I didn't see a break on them because I would be pissed if I lost because of some stupid "dead man's walk"...

[a_malfunction]

Man... People have been pulling these walks for a long time.... they are nothing new.... at least at my field.

[slayer]

I am sure, a lot of dead men, will die twice because of him.

[mrhooie]

we play a 'no dead man's walk' rule

Now on to this week's feature!!
Coming straight out of Los Angeles, California, we have for you one of
the most talked about games from the 2002 L.A. Open. This is the game
between the Naughty Dogs and Exile. Now, you may be asking yourself,
"What makes this video so special?" Here's what makes it special.
Cory Field, from Naughty Dogs, pulls off the PERFECT dead mans walk on
team Exile. It happens at the end of the game when the Naughty Dogs
are getting overrun by Exile players. You see Cory stand up and begin
walking to the dead box. Then just before Exile pulls their flag, Cory
turns around and shoots 3 of the last 4 Exile players. One of the
Exile players who has already been shot shoots Cory, which results in a
1 for 1 that pulls the last Exile player. This gives Naughty Dogs the
win. Watch it. It's absolutely AMAZING!

This straight from the Force of Nature Video adminstrater. This seems like 4 to 1 odds to me. Him against their 4 last players, and then a player not even in the game shots him. Him that is poor sportsmanship, and somebody being pissed off because they just got beat for not paying attention.

Hmmm my dos cents again.
