today i was playing and i made a straight run to the 50 standup and shot a player running in to the same bunker. after i shot him in a wrap around, i came back behind my bunker and was shot by a team mate because they thought i was on the other team :eek:

you most prob got shot becos you didnt communicate so he thought you were an enemy so bang bang your out thats the most important thing bout paintballing ive learnt is communication
if you have that your team can flip a two on six situation and narrow it down to sumthin like two on two once you and your teammates start talking alot you can basically shoot blind you can pretty much pin point where they are wat side of the bunker thier on and if they r crouching standing watever without even looking
feedback from teammates is essential thats wat im working on at the mo hope this helps sumone who finds them selves always being left to find the opposition on thier own.

Bull....****.....You can't have learn much/anything about paintball if you think that's the case.

THE most important 'things' in paintball are 1) Staying alive 2) Shooting the opposition.

If you don't have a clue about how to play tight then all the 'communication' in the world isn't going to help you because your fat ass that is sticking out the side of the bunker is gonna get shot off before you even have the chance to open your mouth to shout some convoluted code. Furthermore, all the gassing about where the players are on the field is rather pointless if your team can't hit the broad-side of a barn and the others can. Put me a team together of the best individual players in the world, each one from a unique team and don't let them talk to each other.......i bet they still steam roller most oposition....because they are the very best at 'things' 1 and 2.

Front players a lot of the time, when making impulse moves such as a bunkering shouldn't have to tell his own team what he is going to do......the window of opportunity is so narrow that by the time you've shouted to your mate what you are about to do it is too late. Your team mate shot you because he wasn't aware, because he wasn't paying attention...because he was a muppet.

yo potter you dont get the point mate

no. 1 if his team told him bout the guy comin in to the same bunker he cud have picked him off b4 he got there so he woundn't have got shot we he came bak round the bunker

no. 2 i didnt say you have to tell the team wat the f**k you gonna do thats not my point so actually read carefully b4 you start making stupid comments.

no. 3 communication does not mean tell your team WTF your gonna do if you gonna do sumthing then do it by all means but you really think im stupid to shout out wat im gonna do on the field where the opposition will hear me

no. 4 if you no where your opposition is by your team mates COMMUNICATING then you can plan your run and pick off more than one guy b4 your shot out so shut up and stop thinking you no everything
