do you shoot of the break?

[atm743]

I dont shoot off the break because most of the time they will either bounce, or the person will just slide into their bunker wiping off the hit as if they never got hit. And from that distance its hard to tell whether it broke or not while actually running. I am a front guy. What I do on the break is, and this depends on who Im playing too. I delay my run. I stay back toward the deadbox and sweetspot a couple ppl. As soon as they are almost to their bunker, I sprint to mine. This way, most ppl are already in their bunker, and not ready to shoot, and the backmen have already sweetspotted and gotten to their bunkers. I try to get to the 50 as much as possible.

Try it sometime. You may like it. Plus, by the time you get to your bunker, you already know where the opponents are and you can start snap shooting immediately. Works for me and a lot of other ppl I know.

ya i seen some other teams doing that and i never knew what the point of it was.

im going to try that.

but two things

if you do that wont the people on the other team that are shooting of the break hit you cuse your not moving??

and also when you start to run after waiting and shooting. would the people that jest got to their bunker not be able to shoot me cuse they jest slid there and they need to peak out??

i jest have a feeling in doing that the people at their bunkers will light me up while im running to my bunker.

OHHHHH. I forgot you were on that team with the crazy name.


So beause you dont shoot alot, that makes you a front player? How do you figure?

well cuse front players dont shoot and carrie as much paint as back.

plus im not much of a good back player and like i said my team are preaty big guys. im still big but im the smallest and shortest on the team. and dj89 and e-mag baller are really good at laying paint down and getting people out.

im really good at getting people out when they are preaty close to me. i suck at trying to shoot someone out when im at the back and the other enemy is at the other end.

[-=Squid=-]

most of the team are back mid players. i try to get to the center as much as posible. (we are all preaty big guys) soo im thinking in going to my feild to walk it and practice running to bunkers.

dj89 and monstermag are jest born back players cuse that shoot alot soo mabey they can lane the places i need for me to be able to run up.

im dont shoot alot. soo im prone to be a mid frount.

i shoot only when theres a player that i can shoot at. i cant stand wasting and laneing paint.

all of your answers are helping me alot thanks

Here, let me try.

most = Most
back mid = back/mid
i = I
posible = possible
.() = ().
preaty = pretty
soo = so
im = I'm
in = I'm
feild = field
jest = just
cuse = cause
that = they
soo = so
mabey = maybe
i = I
im = I'm
dont = don't
im = I'm
mid frount = mid/front
i = I
theres = there's
i = I
i = I
cant = can't
laneing = laning

If you wish for me to point out the improper sentence structures, use of commas, etc, as well, please ask.

If they're really good at 'getting people out' Then they dont need you as a front man.
ANYONE is good at elminination someone when they're really close to you. If you can't nab someone when they're in close proximity, you need to pick another sport.

If you learn the correct lanes, 9 out of 10 times those players will run/slide straight through your lane of paint -- sure it wastes a hopper but if you automatically start a game 5-3/5-4 it's well worth it.

My "new" team got smoked every game until one of the top teams in the series came to us during practice and helped us realize we weren't playing those lanes effectively. You'd be surprised with how effective it is.

i never asked for you to check my spelling i jest asked for help on running and shooting off the start of the game.

Another Excellent tip. Listen to RK. He's saying the same things I would.

Go for it buddy.

Advice time.

For one, backplayers aren't necessarily supposed to be great at "getting people out." That is not their job. Their job is to lay down paint for YOU to get people out.

They are supposed to communicate with you, and work YOU up the field to stab people. Sounds like this isn't the case.

If I recall, you're the guy with the brown pants, if this is the case, yes, continue practicing the ole' run and gun method. Seriously, everybody should be able to adequately do it, and if you can't you need to work on it as a serious priority to improving your game. You don't even have to be looking at what your shooting. Speed is the name of the game in tournament style play.

Can you shoot fast? Can your backguys shoot fast? How fast? For some reason I dont think "Monstermag," AKA, guy that not many people like, can shoot that fast. Another thing that as a back player he needs to work on.

Just because someone is large isn't reason enough to put them as a back player.

As for running and shooting, just practice running shooting air. Easy, cheap. When you can do this and keep your gun steady, and run about as fast as you could without holding your gun up, then start practicing with paint.

Now, PLEASE learn to speak English.

It's "J U S T"

It seems to me that you enjoy being harassed, or you would change your behavior.

well how its going with me every person that flame'd on my old threads and that were reported nothing happen to them soo if they dont get banned why whould i then??

im thinking in pm'd tunaman about this crap. cuse im sick of people of complaining about my spelling.

I know that they are some thing that they cant do properly and i dont make fun of them about that soo why should they make fun of me??

HA.. Naw, it's more common sense than anything. Even we were like "Oh crap!" when we realized we were either laning the wrong spots or not at all. It's nice being a back player -- you can usually walk to your bunker dumping 1-2pods.... Really helps those front guys get to their first and secondary spots... It's our JOB to shoot as much as possible -- which is why I usually shoot 4 pods and a hopper during a 5 man. Hammer home plate and my right tape relentlessly.

[BD_Paintball]

shooting off the break is very important. if you take one out then you have an advantage right away. you should have 2 ppl shoot off the break. the back player and the mid player should run and shoot. Your front player can even sprint to his/her bunker and take a few shots.

thank you

now was that hard not to do that in the first place

monstermag is really a good black player. really if no one likes him. i think he helps the team alot. when watching the movie he was shooting fast and getting people out.

im going to go this weekend to practice everything on runing and shooting, and other things like snap shooting and sliding.

and also this weekend ill work on the english and put word on my crapy computer soo i can spell check it

[Jonno06]

dunno if anyone has said this but.....


back player=IMMEDIATLY shoot those lanes as soon as the whistle blows. i suggest walking while shooting lanes so atleast you make progress to the bunker.
mid=holding the gun at your hip, run and gun. if you dont know how...you better learn.
front= haul butt to the 50.
