I'm sick of hearing everyone saying that its gonna take the skill out of the game:eek: OR theres gonna be loads of trouble with the overkill rule:eek:

Personally i think it will put everone on a level par, then its just a case of whos got the best tactics and whos teams front guys have got the biggest bollocks:eek:
Sorry to keep quoting you, but I saw a guy run past a bunker in the "ramping promo" and off load like 12 ramped shots on the run as he come around it.

Illegal by law uk law yes? and Luckily there was no-one there to take that in the back, and double lucky it wasn't me. Overkill for a kid I'd say buddy, especially when we were warned to tone it down after over shooting a single kid player left on one team.

fo sho!!!

I think UK Masters should only introduce this into division A, possibly B. If you look at the gulf in class between teams in Div 1 and 4 at the PA and then compare it to between Div A and D at the masters, there is a big difference I feel.
 
Gotta agree, the whole ramping thing seems pointless to me and I do think that it takes the skill out of learning to shoot fast with both hands (and I just got an ego with the ramping firmware). I'll play front and I don't care about getting hit, but I can't say I like the prospect of getting mugged at close range and getting 15 shots in the back.

If it came to a vote, I'd be against it... if not just because of the paint bill.

Did you buy it on the day!
When the Raskals played you I got into the fifty to take your fifty guy out and was shot a minimum of eight times (thats the welts you gave me) and none burst at all, I walked because it hurt enough for me to presume it had broke but when I found out none had burst at all, well you can guess what I thought.

Strange that though, Zap is a good ball, it was early in the day did anyone have any left from last time out.

it was all purchased on the day m8,but i did find that some of the paint was bouncing off other players from other teams so your experience wasnt the only one........apart from that it was a good paint throughout the day.

Most players can and do shoot at least 10 bps, when was the last time you got mugged and got 10 shots in your back!

I think everyone would have been suprised how much of a non event the "promo game" was at the Masters, sure there was some more paint in the air, but not as much as the scare mongers wanted you to think there will be in all matches from now on at the PA.
I had one honest guy admit his marker has for the last year shot at 20bps and he has been checked plenty of times but never even came close to being caught, because of the cheat board he has had fitted.
He plays middle but has plenty of times mugged other players and I have never had a complaint about overshooting about that guy (or the team he plays for)

And on another point, there was a guy at the Masters on sunday who could and did shoot an Ego (on training mode) at over 24bps according to the display, you fancy him mugging you:)
