Pump guns are awesome!
Brings skill back into the game over fire power

Old School and very cool , have a Lapco grey spirit in my bag love it . Where the sport came from and they are so much fun. Makes you think tactically about your shots rather than spray and pray with an electro
Just to introduce some balance, I'm just going to drop this bombshell.....I don't like pumps. There, I said it. 
I'll admit my pump exposure hasn't been huge - my first game ever was with a stickfed/12g pump and since then I think I've played once with a rental Sterling, flipped another couple in trades and played one day with a stockclass Phantom. I don't like the way that pumping chucks my aim off and forces me to have my secondary hand in an unnatural position and I don't like the feeling of not having more than one ball ready to go at the mere tap of a trigger.
I love the look and idea of pumps, they appeal to my old-school tastes, but they're not for me. Of course this is probably due to me being an absolutely AWFUL shot (I blame the fact that I don't wear my glasses when I play) and need to lead my shots in to hit anything smaller than an artic lorry. Semi 4 life brah.

Really though, you're throwing yourself in at the deep, deep end rocking stockclass.
I believe that the field can dictate your enjoyment too - if the field (woods) is small, symmetrical, encourages volume, etc, pump can be difficult to enjoy. You need to find an advantage over everyone else - be it your gun skills or your willingness to crawl down a water filled ditch.
