Playing "theories" gun battling and the sort.

[Carbon]

would you say you are an agressive gun fighter/battle?

do you like gunbattling to begin with? or do you prefer to be sneaky?

Do you prefer to keep the "up" or do you tend to yield and find another shooting lane?

What is you comfort zone? How many guys do you tend to gun battle at one time?

do you win most of your gun battles (eliminating the otehr guy)?


I used to enjoy gun battling, not that i hate it now, it just that i realize gunbattling is not the most efficient way play a bunker. For the most part, if im battling 3 shooters I'll try to fake snap with them, just show em enough face and for them to stay on me. As far as it goes, my survival probability is pretty high when im battling up to three guns. A fourth shooter tends bring my survival to less than 50%.

I suppose the ultimatel goal is to know when to gun battle or not and tune that agression. anywa just wondering.

I like battleing them because it keeps their eyes on me while my team moves up. I always like to be agressave. I genuarly take on 2-3 at one time

i have a habit of moving so far up field so fast that i wind up with me against the other team. staying alive long enough for help to get to me is not fun, well, maybe it is...just a little.

I tend to be a very agressive player, however I would say my survival rate is less than 50%in any game. I always get a few of them out before i go so i try to help out my team by eliminating a few people right away and swing the odds is our favor. Im happy as long as my team comes out ahead.

i tend to play the snake or forward bunkers so im usually just drawing fire from the back guys and sometimes trying to pop up to get the cross field angles as well, but thats usually when i go out. I will try for those cross field shots and the guy on tha same side tape usually head shots me. the snake at my local field has little cover from the same side tape unless your compleatly on your stomach....maybe i should stop going in there since im 6'3" but i cant stand just lobbing cases of paint from the back hoping for a splatter hit or something of the sorts.

I dont gun battle i shoot *****es out

[Lohman446]

I hate getting stuck in a position of snap shooting - ironically I often win it. Normally I will force a move when I am forced into a snap-shooting contest... it works exceptionally well and the look on someones face when you come around from a bunker far away after they were snap shooting with you in front of them is one of the greatest things :)

Yea i dont really like gun battles....id rather be sneaky and shoot em when i see them but they dun see me...other day i was gun battleing with a much more expierenced player and i pop out and get gogged with my mouth open ..ye that sucked i about threw up...but id rather not have to snap shoot just find a better angle on the person and get em out.

I like gunfighting, because, i usually win gunfights, but, im rather agressive/impatient, if i dont snap you out in probably 5 or less snapshots, ill probably either just put the guy in, and go bunker him, or move to another player, or move to another bunker to get a better angle.

i try to occupy two or three players at a time to let the younger faster more talented kids/people move on them. if i get one or two of them, then so be it.
i do ok i guess.

I try to let what ever tactical situation Im In dictate how I play. If Im up aggenst a more agresive player or players I will tend to fall back and try to throw him/them off balence. If up aggenst a player who is reluctant to move up I flank agresively or if working with a partner get in my opponents face and destract them untill my buddy moves up there flank. Its all relitive to the way the game plays out.
As to how many players I will take on at once, it depends on how many are on the field, and how large the field is. On big woods fields I will take on groups as large as 15 or 20. I will get into a good position shoot and then book it to another position and do it agan. Its a fun way to play. Works even better when you have a partner, you can shoot and then run, leading the guys chasing you right in to your partner, basicly leapfroging backwards.
When I play speedball (rarely) or small woods games I tend to directly confront groups of no more then 3 players at a time. Usualy Its 50\50 when this happens. Its more related to how on point Im feeling on a given day then anyting else.

i know exactly what you mean. We've been practicing a lot of those in-your-face short range type drill. I like the idea of putting your opponent out of their comfort zone by reducing yours, that is getting up in their grill.

Admittedly this theory isn't my own, it's one that's been adopted by Jacked and was given to us by Trainwreck and Chris Dazzi (Oakland Assasins).

The general principle is not to gun fight when ever possible because of the inherently unpredictable nature of the snap shooting contest. Instead the objective is either to put someone in their bunker when the enguagement begins or completely drop the enguagement and look out the other side of the bunker while the bunker we're in gets pounded.

This seems to work, though it's rather defensive in nature. The problem we're having with this style is that once in place, we don't move too much and if you've seen any of our games that's rather obvious even when we are doing well.

Personally I enjoy gunfighting though this style we're using now has increased my survivablility significantly which is a good thing I suppose.

In my own nature I'm not a very agressive player, I know that being more agressive would undoubtedly improve my personal game, some of the best moves I've made were when I was forced into a situation.

[Maggot6]

Personally, I like to be the guy on the feild that no one see's and isn't wasting 15 ballls a second... Unfortunatly, people always see you, and you do have to shoot fast sometimes. I just feel so much better about eliminating someone, when they say "I couldn't even see your gun (warp feed :)) and I wasn't even sure if you were there" comparing to each of us snap shooting, and eventually wasting 15-30 balls and one of us getting a relitively lucky shot.

Fenix. our team is still trying to find the equillibrium between of aggressive and defensive play.

At times we find it is very ok to play the shoot-shoot-shoot-keep-a-head-in, move-repeat.
Other times we'll play game where we have this unbreakable crossup between the backs and mids while we have a small amount of movement.

Almost always though we find we are more succesful when we are agressive.

i dunno, suppose we are all just looking for the "smart game"
