why do i keep getting out....

[Jonno06]

Why don't you just play back?

Right off of the break, start unloading paint at the oppositions starting base...after the smoke,or co2, has cleared,run to a close bunker...

You can also shoot,and kinda "strafe" to the bunker.

strafing is like...walking slowly,in a diagonal motion.

lol doesn't need to be diag .... Straffing just involves facing one way while moving the other really .. just side stepping ...

Best thing to do is go left/right immedialy after the break and fire a few rounds off in the general direction ... should hopefully at least get you to a bunker, but dont get stuck ..lol

should i be keeping my head up when running? i usually keep it down so i can move alittle quicker.

and i like fatmans idea of moving right after i make it to a bunker. most of the time though, its getting to that first bunker thats a pain. i think just not running as far, then hopping to a new bunker is gonna work for me. i'll try that this weekend.

Try & do this, Follow the line from the tart box & loop around to the first barricade.
Sorry for the poor diagram

wheneva i try to get that far up on the break (not usually, its usually a secondary move for me), i always start running, then look up and see where the other team is goin,and who is firing at me.. i usually try to find a bunker to block off the shots of the person shooting at me...im not good at talking, id have to make a pic to show you.

EditAHA i couldnt get the attatchment to work now, but thats what im talkin about, this way only people on one side of the field can shoot at you, bunkers are blocking off the other shooting lanes

Sit out a game and watch what others are doing. It can be a real education. Many of the players that move up front dive well before they can reach the bunker (and crawl the rest of the way). They know that while they are not directly behind the bunker no one will have a shot at them while the crawl up.

Watching really helps. I know as I have been shot out early in games enough to learn alot from watching (seriously though it does help)

[flatacid]

i watch alot. ive reffed at that field for about 3 years now. also i play everyweekend. it just recently, ive been out on the break. maybe its just a bad streak that will go away soon.

you're prolly being over aggressive, which has sloppiness come into play. You want to be behind a bunker as much as possible. I don't think I ever made a straight run to a base, and I've never gotten out on the break, even playing front

Also don't run too far up field. The team needs to kinda move up together. If everyone else is in the back row, and you are at the 50, you'll prolly get out because of no support. Also make sure you have cover fire when you move, have someone shoot at the guy that would be shooting at you.

It's all speedball basics really. Many people don't understand it, but it's not that difficult, just gotta think.

what angle are you running at? I never ran straight down a lane. Instead i ran to the out side moving behind as many bunkers as i can, the people in the bunkers i run behind sort of cover me.

Oh, BTW, im 6'4 and I have really long legs.. duh.. I cant run that fast untill i have some room to get up to speed, everyone else smokes me off the line.
