Depending on the field layout, i would concider some different stratagies. If its a fairly small field, i would prefer to have all the players burn the snot out of the lanes. If you pick a player off the break, most likely its over for them. You have one guy pin down one player and another guy keep on the other guy and ur 3rd guy will just run up getting into good angles and eliminating them.

If your field is long, then i would try to have atleast 1 or two running off the break. You should ALWAYS have atleast 1 person shooting off the break. He dosnt hve to be burning a lane or a certain bunker but atleast shooting. That'll boost your chance of hitting a player off the break up slightly. Remember, he who controls the 50 normally wins so it is a good idea to have slightly more players up front, but just dont get too aggressive with the moving or u'll get ur *** handed to you.

For 3 mans, i wouldn't recommend playing the snake if there is one. Speaking from expirience, it is best to have someone behind u in he snake guiding you whos where and whats going on. IF your just doing it alone, it really isn't too much help even though it is nice to be abel to move from ur 40 to 60 with ease, but it just cuts off the communication. If you see an opponent player playin teh snake, pin him down, cut off his communication. The sound of a paintball hitting a hyperbal bunker is pretty loud. So if your shooting at the general lcoation of where he is at, it will be very hard for him to hear what the rest of the team is saying. Communication is very imporant as well.

In a 3 man, it usually does come down to individual skills due to the lack of players. I know some people that are just these one man team type guys that are bunkering mahcines. Put them on any 3 man team and they would kick. do some snap shooting drills before hand. Snapshooting is a very useful skill to have.
