do you shoot of the break?

[-=Squid=-]

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

And this is what we want to hear.

[spyder luver]

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.

y do u have to be such a dick and point things out like that so wut if he mispelled some things wrong i mean seariously Jesus God man

The irony is absolutely astounding.

The irony is absolutely astounding.

Part of natural history is that even before life forms emerged from the ocean, they grouped together. As they developed, they grew more independent.

Hahaha!

On topic- I try to shoot OTB, but I suck at it and I'm normally running way too fast to be even close to accurate. If I slow down like I'm playing mid or back I can shoot a little better on the run, but I still need to work on it.

[FlawleZ]

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.

Exactly what I do.

i lol'd.

My old team specifically practiced the run & shoot to develop proper technique. We had to make it to the bunker while attempting to remove a mirror opponent. If no one got taken on the break it turned into a pop-out gun fight for 1 min. It helped, I generally played back to mid for about the first minute so I was slow on the break. Like all things paintball it takes practice......

[yakitori]

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.

No actually you are under less fire. And as a front man you are likely going to try to get to either tape as close to the 50 as possible. Usually I shoot cross field, so that the ppl in front of me know where I am, but I am not playing them. Im playing crossfield. I listen to my back guys, when they put the ppl in front of me (at my mirror) in their bunker, I bump further up the field and continue playing cross field to get a better angle on the ppl crossfield. Many times, ppl are tunneled and only playing in front of them. BUt as a front man, you learn to snapshoot and move and keep them on their toes.

It depends on the field too. A lot of fields have a huge bunker in the center 50 which makes it difficult to be seen if there is no cover. If there is no cover, survey the field, and look for blind spots. But the majority of the time, ppl sweetspotting off the break are not shooting directly at your deadbox, cause by the time their balls make all the way to the other end of the field, most ppl that broke out towards the tapes will not be shot. I hardly ever see ppl shooting directly at the deadbox on the other side off the break.

As for ppl just getting to their bunkers and seeing you break out on a delay, its not liikely because you are sweetspotting them and they get to their bunker before they worry about looking. Most of the time, players that break out right...shoot left. or cross up. So, if you break out to the right on a delay, you are going to be looking at back center, and crossfield to your left, cause thats who you are going to be shooting at when you get to your bunker.

It sounds confusing, but its not really that hard. You just have to practice timing. Try it out the next time you go out. You want to delay your run just long enough (prolly 5-7 seconds), then haulass to your bunker, shoot crossfield. Listen to your backment, bump up, shoot cross field. When you get some eliminations, pay attention to the tapeline. You may have the opportunity to do a run through and bunker ppl in the back. .



I do shoot off the break on X ball, but when are you not shooting in xball.

[FireITup14]

hell no. not playing snake.

[vonort]

I usally play on a feild that is about 30 to 40 acres. So shooting off the break is pretty much useless for me.


In your case yes shooting on the run slows you down. If your forcing others in while your doing it then and you can still make your bunker. Keep doing it. If its not working for you then change.

[JimmyBeam]

Go for it buddy.

Advice time.

For one, backplayers aren't necessarily supposed to be great at "getting people out."

whoa, whoa....wait a sec, since when?

i have surgical accuracy from long distances. i may not be the fastest guy, but i make up with it one shot kills ~30 yds. and if that doesnt work, rebound makes it all too easy.

Then you're playing recball.

[HarrysSon]

I ALWAYS run to my bunker head up and shooting so you have an advantage. But if Im trying to run and shoot, my run is messing up because Im concentrating on my shooting but its obvious when you are back player.
