3 Man Tactics

[tomrulez]

Apologies if there already is a definitive thread related to this, I had a quick look through the past pages and didn't see anything glaringly obvious.

Anyway I'm playing a 3-man tournament at YPC this Sunday (anyone else going?) and was just wondering what tactics other people use in 3-man tournies. We have had a bit of a dispute within the team of what tactics to go with as some say to play aggressive and others say play defensive and lock down the field.

Thoughts?

possibly have two people lock down the field and one player move up the field and make the kills?

id say play aggressive untill you lose your first man, then lock down the field

I think you should change your profile to "Paintballs equivalent of von Clausewitz". Oh, and start using ze a lot in your postings.

Play clever and aggressive in 3 man, chose which bunker or bunkers are the most important and make sure younger there before the other team.

What about specific player positions? We were thinking of one in the snake, one snake corner then a back middle and then try and push up the snake side as quickly as possible whilst the back middle locks down the opposite side.

instead of having a back centre, try having one in each corner to get the width of the field and one player in the snake?

Look at the field first - it may not lend itself to locking down from back centre, or pushing snake.

As a general rule though, play it as you would normally - if you like to get up in people's grills then do that. If you prefer to sit back, take a G then push, then do that.

There is no definitive answer as it depends on so many variables.

shooting people helps...
perhaps you should start with trying that?
