- Just wanted to say something about booby traps and such.
- I dont know if, for example, paint-grenades are used in
- such a wide perspective in the states, but here in sweden
- it's quite unpopular. Me and a teammate of mine used paint-
- grenades against a player from Stockholm a couple of months
- ago, just because of his attitude ("I'm imortal and can shoot
- all of you in a couple of minutes. I can never die, and i'm the
- best player in the world")!!! That was sure worth some paint
- (he satt in a bush while one of us sprayed his hidingplace with
- mortal semi-fire and two of use throwing a paint-grenade each
- in the bush he satt in, and he had to change his uniform after-
- wards) If it was fun? No, but he needed that paint to come down
- on earth again. I prefer ordinary balls.
-
- About player-positions in the field.
- Over here, semis is only used by ap. 25% of the players (at least
- those i've met!), so the first goal in the strategy is to take
- all the oponents semi-users out. If you have a semi-user, make sure
- to "sponsor" him with paint and put him on a high and secure place
- (if the battlefield is of the more open type) and let him spray over
- the bad guys, making them stay where they are. Two semi-users at
- the back of your field-half would do it, covering your ass when
- pushing forward. Paintball is an expensive sport and semi-users simply
- have to empty their wallets if keeping up with all others, which I
- thing is a shame.
-
- I prefer the type of game when u aren't fireing so much, for example a
- scenario of some kind. I've played in one of the militarys "hostage-
- situation" houses, where you can roll over the floors just equiped with
- a PGP, fireing some shots in each door you open! great! Try to make up
- some kind of scenario, where one of your teammates is held hostage and
- you're to set him free att some time of the day (or night!) that you
- and your teammates have discussed. In that way the enemy has to stay
- guard all day while you try to penetrate enemy grounds undiscovered.
- (try an old factory or something, but remember, allways to ask first!!!)
