Newbie....ish

Hey all

just thought I would create myself an introductory thread now seeing as I was cheeky enough to join and go straight for the sales section.

My name is Shaun, Im 17 years old and from Scotland. I first found paintball around a year ago when we went for a friends birthday. Some of us got more enthusiastic (the ones with jobs) and became regular woodsballers. Around three/four months later this was picked up upon by the site staff so we were invited to supair trials with a view to becoming part of a new team that was to form in the SPPS. Voila, the Ross-shire Rebels were born. Now three close friends, one other lad who was present at the trials and myself have been part of a 5 man speedball team for around half a year now. In our first season (although being fair its the same for a number of the teams) after two rounds we are siting in a comfortable 6th from 14 in this years SPPS, with the 3rd and final round on the 27th of July.

Now playing snake I have developed an obsession I don't think I could ever of discovered from just playing in the woods. I've recently upgraded from a PMR to an Etek Ego along with an Eclipse star frame, Cure2bolt, QEV, zik kit and a cyan blue CCU kit. Aint had a chance to "speedball" it yet so I can't wait till our next training session. I use a torque loader also, best invention ever for the lazy bugger, who cares about capacities and BPS when its evident that the ability to clean/fix it in the least amount of time possible is the real reason that matters. :p

Any tips n tricks that any experienced players may have for playing as a forward with oozing confidence would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

welcome :) you seem to know what you're talking about so thats a start :D
im not much of a front player, but from what iv heard.. just go for the opportunities as soon as they open, and talk to your back players, most importantly the one on your tape, as soon as he says his mirror goes into his bunker, bump up as soon as possible and then if you can, shoot crossfield. if your in a decent place to bunker someone, but you KNOW youll be lit up, go for it, unless your teams down on players and the move WILL NOT turn the game around in your favour. you'll be the days hero ;)

haha its just a knack with words I seem to have, its quite plausable even with you being a back that you know more than me about playing as a forward! :D

1. I havent/never will

2. I haven't ever uttered a bad word about it....yet

3. seeing as we buy team paint I think us forward players pay for about 60% of you back players paint anyway

4. To quote a man with 22 years experience in the game and a "gogging" on Ollie Lang to his name "Sean i heard you destroyed one team in about 30 seconds from the snake" Sacrifice? when our team are on the backfoot my gameplan is the definition of the word! :cool:

tips for back players you say? how about move to snake corner so Shaun can gain the benifit of your rapid trigger fingers raining hellfire over the top of his noggin. ;)
