dumb things noobs do
i had this in the tactics section but it was suggested i put it here
i witnessed some the other week when playing with someone who was playing for the second time, we were pinned down in a solid bunker (woods ball) but had 3 guys moving in on us from front, left, and right
sticking just your gun out of the bunker and just firing off random shots-
this lets them know your defenseless and they'll move in on you, show your confident, take good shots and make them count, even in bad situation, make your shots count, if you get one person out, and then you get out, it evens it out, and helps your team mate
running around not know where to go-
if your moving forward or back, or getting a better angle, know where your running, don't just run around looking for cover, find your cover before you move, this way you can get there quickly, and give yourself some cover fire before you move, wheather its you shooting or your teammates, i'm not saying shoot while running(you can), but fire a couple at them even if they're in cover, just to scare them, or get a teammate to shoot while you run, and if you can, run behind other cover when you more, this will break/ stop balls and give them small areas to shoot at, or run sideway to your oppenent, if you run a straight line forward or backwards they came keep shooting the same spot and get honed in, if you move sideways they will have to keep up with how you run
talking normal to a teammate-
make sure they can hear you "play like your with 100" as in this months APG, yell, if your setting up a flank with someway not next to you, you gotta make yourself clear over all the guns going off and balls breaking, wind, etc..., i've had this happen, and he ended up getting shot out b/c he didn't know where to go, he only heard me and i didn't hear him
making yourself an easy target-
you have to make yourself as small as possible when you pop out to shoot, get tight, pop out shoot a couple shots and get back in
don't always pop up in the same spot-
i've shot out lots of people that do this, they pop up from they cover at the same spot everytime, this lets me shoot a couple while they're behind the cover, and i hone in on where they keep coming up, they pop up, and bam, they get hit right in the mask or shoulder
running slow when they don't know where oppenets are at-
basically, run fast all the time unless your sneaking and you have to be slow
shooting at an opponets really far away-
shooting through the trees at someone 80-100 yds away thinking they'll hit them, this only gives away your position, let them walk right up to you and shoot them at 20 yds away, not wasting paint at long shots
moving without looking-
if your a runner (front) look very closely at what around you, look to see if they're hiding really good, or if you can see them but they can't see you, even if you don't see them, once again, look to see where there's cover if come under fire, and move behind cover
not moving stealthly-
move when you got cover sound, espically for woodsball, leaves are noisy and you can sneak without being seen or heard in the woods, if they're heavy gun fire, the winds blowing, a car driving by, people yelling, dogs barking, whatever, use this to your advantage, and watch where you move too, grass and mud is quieter than twigs and leaves
now, this is what i try to remember and use when i play woodsball, this is all we can play around here, speed ball may be different but some of it will probably still work, wow, my fingers hurt from all this typing...
