3 man is easy, have 1 stay back center, lane off the break, 1 go left, 1 go right and push. if you loose a guy off the break, get on the same line as your other guy and work from the corners (cross it up). if you get one of theirs gone off the break, push on the last two.

What a good type of paintball gun?

June 24, 2008 - 3:51 pm 3 Comments

What is a good paintball gun for beginers, but is also inexpensive? Any tips or what to do, for first-time paintballers?

It really depends on what type of paintball you are going to be playing…are you going to be playing woodsball (where your hide behind real trees and play out in nature) or speedball (where the field consists of several air filled "bunkers") If your going to be playing woodsball hes right in that a custom 98 is a great and reliable gun. If your going to be playing speedball, you should go with something faster due to the fact that many guns at these fields are shooting 25+ balls per second and a tippman is much slower than this, thus putting you at a huge disadvantage. I myself play speedball most of the time and woodsball every now and then and i have a Smart Parts Ion (200 USD) and it is great. Out of the package it shoots 18 bps, more than youll need for a while. The gun is light, accurate and if you decide to get serious, very easy to upgrade. Great gun, i would recomend it. If you want to check out some reviews on guns with their prices go to www.pbreview.com…Also, I have purchased other guns off ebay and they always have good deals on them, check there for deals and prices

any tips to become a good paintball player?

Confidence. Try anything you think can help you on the field (besides cheating, I will eat your soul if you cheat).

It's okay if you do something stupid when trying to do something. You'll never know if a tactic will work unless you try it. Many times I've succeeded or helped a team succeed by attempting something that seems pointless or foolish to do. For example, in the first and only scenario I've been to, I charged across an open road and into some high grass towards a group of about 20 people hidden under a tree surrounded by bushes. They unloaded on me, but the move worked. The rest of the team swept around the side and gave them one hell of a fight that wouldn't have happened if I didn't make that move.

Keep an open mind and try many different ways to play. You will eventually learn the style that you are best at and love the most. This could take one day of play or it could take years. You will also learn the tendencies of the average player and will figure out how to take advantage of them. Nothing I can say specifically that can help somebody with this broad a question. It's all about getting more experience and figuring out on your own. Anything specific that people tell you is usually personal preference.

If you want something specific, try playing pump. I mean get a GOOD pump marker like a Phantom and let the restriction work to your advantage. I beleive that pump play will teach you more about paintball than anything else. Especially about moving fast and smart and making good shots.
