whats with all this overshooting nonsense going round the forums

when you go to mug someone, you shoot the first thing you see and you dont stop until he turns away or lowers his gun... simple as...

would you risk losing a game by only shooting someone once on his big toe to have him spin and light you up ?

i think not... if you happen to be aiming at his head then so be it, why risk adjusting your aim and missing?

Cos it's only a game and not the end of the world. You shoot him and he carries on then it's down to good ref's to pull him out and enforce a 1-4-1 etc

how come i can mug some one with 2/3 shot's? and im crap!!!


bottom line....no need for 6 shots to the head thats going to hurt no matter who you are!!!

i figure if an opposition is on the field against you then they understand the risks they put themselves into much like you do. you might get bunkered, you might fall on yer marker and break it etc etc. shoot until your sure their gone. i figure overshooting would be once their hand goes up showing them dead and shooting them in the back for the fun of it? at the same time if your doing a run through you wanna be sure you can move from 1 target to the next real quick. hit them and move on.

If hes coming fast and is close, I would just put my self as close to the bunker possible and shoot a lane for him to run through as he comes to mug me.

Or if possible just shoot him before he can get close enough to mug me in the first place

And for the record, in my opinion you have every right to shoot someone until you see there hand go on there head (or at least some indication of elimination). Bonus balling fair enough, but until you see any indication of showing they are eliminated I will keep firing, rather that than risk of spinning or a player cheating etc... I dont exactly mean mug someone and stand there shooting them over and over, but you get the picture

No overshoot!! If he tagged you you would get pulled too, so if you have to get the guy from key bunker and stay alive I will shoot until his hand is up and no danger of him tagging me.
There are too many players who will shoot after they are tagged and ref will pull you both, so shoot him the way that he can not turn his gun towards you. Head, fingers.. if it secures my team a point I wil do it.

And please, I was done many time this way. Especialy in the snake, you are on the floor and people just love to shoot you dead... If you cant take it play KOTH...

One thing I dont get how did you shoot him in the back of the head?? From your description it is a little unusual...

This is quite good thing to do, just get closer to the bunker and back up a little if you can, adjust your lane so he has to run through it... you will have agood chance to stay alive...

From what I can gather, given there is no real description, I'll make up the bunkers and events as I see fit

JayCee was near the tape line, guy in snake was shooting infeild, JayCee runs up tape, passes snake guy blows his head off.
Should help in realising how he got him in the back of the head, with what is given

Six shots to the head is bit strange. :confused:

How can you accidently shoot someone six times in the same small area...?

Six shots and I'd understand, but all six to the head?? :dodgy:

Right well I was sitting behind this bunker and a guy diagonal to me was shooting at me. I thought that bukering him would be the best move, so I popped him some paint, legged it past his bunker and got him 6 times in the back of the head. Great fun.
You wouldn't think that if it was your head that has just been blown apart from a few feet away.

What I want to know is, what did the victim actually do in reply to his migraine? :confused:
