Bonus Ballin'...A Team Sport!!!

[acropilot19]

Okay, so there I wuz, holdin down the left tape with my trusty Timmie...
(Dont Hate, I gotta Emag to )
...First time usin it with a new Halo B on top, not used to the lower (170rd) capacity...
I'm on my 30 & holdin about 3or4 dudes down on the 50 left bunker...tha Timmie's Cookin with Gas...

...so I see this fool movin up to our right 40 bunker cause my team's a bunch O' Wankers & our right flank folded...
...So I turn to my 3oClock to give him a Burst-
DiE YooSuckeR!!!
and all I get is the little buzz of an empty Halo

Bein the quality baller that he is, player hooks me up with some free paint at 300fps.
It was a rightious kill.

Now, I am no fool. when I'm hit, I Scream "OUT" & raise my gun over my head before I break cover.
Plus, I Knew there were 3or4 other fools just 30 feet down the tape who'd been gettin my best just moments before...

...So I sing the "OUT" song & do tha dance & when I break cover (gun always waaay up) to cross the tape not 5 feet to my left, guess what...
PowPahpowPOWpOWpOWpoWpahpowPOWpowpaHpOW...
onANDonANDon!!!

Those 3or4 fools musta hit me with 20to25 good ones, All in tha Back.
Good God it hurt.

Moral of Story: I have no friggin Idea, But Damn, it Hurt.

wow they musta had some mad gats popin ya up fresh boy.......or however u kids like to sound cool. jk lol i had to say it but anyways sounds like it hurt.

[SpecialBlend2786]

owwy my brain

that must have hurt though.... I hate Halo's for their crappy capacity still.

[FallNAngel]

A few hits, yeah, I can expect it.. especially if they just pop out, spot you and still think you're in. If they know I'm out and keep shooting, I'm gonna start firing back...

[Evil1]

I would have been pissed. I probably would have started shooting back or something worse. overshooting and bonus balling is getting more common these days and I would not get mad if I got hit 4 or 5 extra times, but 20 or 25 I would be very, very pissed off and people would know very quickly.

[Major Jam]

Lately, I've learned to hold the gun out for 10 seconds longer than I used too. All of the newbs in our outlaw group over shoot like h3ll since they purchased electros with an "auto" button.

Tell your teammates to take advantage of the situation. If they're all shooting at you, then they're not shooting at your teammates. Hell, you might want to run in around in a little circle drawing fire in a confused fashion yelling "My liver! My liver!" so your teammates can take the opportunity. If I were in a serious situation like a tournament or something, I think I would actually take the bonus balls. Paintballs aren't exactly lethal. And you know you love the welts, that's part of why some of us love the sport

least you havent gotten bonused in your pant demon...

twice...

hurts like a mofo...

i believe bonus ballin is just bad altogether

i was playin against another team and a newb was put on my team for the day...

welll i get out afteri ran outta air...

the newb is left..he takes one in his knee...then he calls out...he walks off...

everyone empties a hopper on him...

and i dont believe the team chronoed either...those like broke the skin

[CodeMA]

totaly unnessary bounus balling, such as emptying a hopper on someone when its quite clear there already out(unless you like walkin into their lanes, Im assumeing you didnt) would induse a serious arse kicking, mags make good clubs after all, and well a nice SS barrel, being unsheafed from its quick lock placement makes a rather nice weapon too...

Now if you stand in someones lane, theres generally going to be 2-20 balls behind the one that hit you... its your fault then, or if you walk into their lanes, but I dont see that you did this, being right on the tape and all...

[dwab3000]

as a newb (long time ago) i walked into a line

[Jeffy-CanCon]

as a newb (long time ago) i walked into a line

When I was a newb, there were no lines. You can't hose paint with a Nelspot.


Bonus balling has its place, IMO, but its usually just a sign that the opposing player doesn't really know what is going on; they're just shooting at anything.

Great Idea!

No, wait...It woulda been cept just about everyone else on my team was OUT. Remember tha "Wankers" part? they where all on the sideline watchin
They got a good show.
I can still hear tha "oooooooh" from tha crowd.

I wear a cup. Its too big a target not to.

[dwab3000]

i won a pair of c4 pants so its not a problem anymore...

used to be

I'm pretty cool headed and I've been lit before (not this bad tho) & my first reaction after about the 10th ball WAS to start shootin back- but tha Timmie was on E.
My wife counted 13 solid welts on my upper back. If it were'nt for my harness there woulda been another 10- it was a Goopy mess.
