I’ve been taking part in paintball for a while now. I’ve seen loads of totally different play types, loads of totally different markers, and loads of totally different video games. The largest distinction I’ve seen between gamers that I think about good and people I consider are unhealthy (or mediocre at greatest) has so much to do with how a lot paint is left of their hoppers on the finish of a match. You see in my view if a hopper comprises 200 balls to begin with (common measurement hopper) and it solely has 20 balls left on the finish, then there’s something severely fallacious with that gamers paintball abilities.
Why do I say this? As a result of I’ve seen a direct correlation between the talent of the gamers and the quantity of paint they use. It’s particularly noticeable when groups have a mixture of new gamers and skilled gamers. Personally I delight myself I on one shot hits. Any idiot can exit on the sphere and quickly spray paint in all places within the hopes that they’ll hit one thing, however it takes a a lot calmer participant to evaluate a scene and time their pictures in a way that may give them the more than likely likelihood of taking an opposing participant out of the sport.
Now don’t get me fallacious. I’m not saying that there’s by no means a time the place quickly firing paint in a steady stream is sensible as a result of there are some situations the place this “spraying” approach can and ought to be used. For instance if it’s essential to pin some opposing gamers down with a purpose to enable different member of your group to get into higher place. On this case it makes loads of sense to put down suppressing fireplace. Additionally if it’s essential to combat your self out of a nasty place it would make sense to quickly spray paint on the enemy so you can also make good on a retreat… however these are strategic selections that match into a bigger total plan. This isn’t the identical as a participant going out and losing 100 balls of paint with none actual plan or thought behind it.
In enviornment ball you see individuals utilizing spray methods fairly a bit, however for the great groups they’re utilizing this system for 2 causes. First they’re utilizing it as a result of they’re making an attempt to carry the opposite group again whereas they attempt to get into higher place. Second they’re utilizing it as a result of small enviornment video games happen in shut quarters and the whole lot is shifting very quick… in different phrases they’re taking part in Velocity Ball. In case you are taking part in woods ball then there’s little or no purpose to make use of a twig and pray approach. The truth is it is not sensible in any respect as a result of in woods ball one of many keys to success is stealth.
So subsequent time you’re out within the bush taking part in a recreation of paintball plan out a technique then calmly and punctiliously execute. Be deliberate, be good and be stealthy and you will discover your group popping out on high most of the time.
