Question to front players

[acsik]

A Metric Assload exactly.......


but seriously: 4 pods and a half hopper should get you through a Milleneum game. If not start to ask questions from your back ppl!


Peace

Hopper + 3 pods.

Unless you have a really bad game and then use the 5 pods I take onto the field.
I understand the start with no paint idea but would never do it as you'll miss any opertunity to catch the opposition out if their slow or overextend.
Half a hopper would mash easier than a full one wouldn't it?

the idea of staring with no paint sounds strange to me but i think i will try it. are you guys who do it start with a pod in your hand then? i use a hopper and 1-2 pots in a 6 minute, 5 man game.
maybe someone should invent something like an inside-neopren-cover for hoppers you decrease the amount of balls the hopper can keep a little but it should decrease the chances of breaking paint in your hopper a bit.

In tournaments I bring a hopper and 4 pods, Usually I only go through 3 pods. Its nice to have a backup in case the game stalls. I have a full hopper on the break, because sometimes I bunker off the bat. Sometimes I even shoot lanes, and break late - in those seconds when the game slows down...

 

[james adkin]

I carry 5 pots to the 50 off the break, but i do stop on the way to dump as much as i can - rip their 50 guy or one of the back corners before i belly in

i take three pots and half a hopper on but if your a front player and your shooting over three pots of paint you aint doing your job properly. your looking to snap shoot not shoot ****loads of paint. that's your back players job.

POTS POTS POTS

I got 1 of them extreme rage 7 pot pack normally put 4 in and me hopper but as to how much i shoot well i am quite new to tourneys so that depends but i try to stay in games more than shoot paint (Perfecting snap shooting and left handed) at the mo and i find i am going though 2 to 3 pots and me hopper in a full game


Cheers batty

why the hell would you be looking to snapshoot mario?
you wanna be dominating whatever you're doing!

if your snapshooting , 90% of the time its because YOU are being dominated.

I take out 5 pots and a hopper and shoot as much as is required.

 

[Gyroscope]

I'll agree with that, too. Snap shooting is a way to re-establish dominance, not maintain it. Get him in, then post on him and don't let him play anymore paintball. Personally, I don't hose on a bunker with no one sticking out of it, just a shot every few seconds until he thinks he can start playing again, when I shoot him.

Stay on someone you've tucked in, AIM, and eliminate them. Simple.

 

[skullicious]

agreed...but you can't snapshoot a line of paint.
trying to oneball someone I'm out on has resulted in me losing control on several occasions.

like most of these things though it depends on whats going on in the rest of the game.
