1) don't fallow the guy that looks like he knows what hes doing, or fallow just don't sit within a foot of him spread out. fast guns can spray every one if your bunched up.

2) don't panic. panic equals death. i know its intense but thats what your their for. stay cool :cool: stay smart, stay alive.

3)always watch your sides. in the woods their are many angles to watch out for not just whats in front of you. stay alert

4)don't quit the first time you play every one gets killed the first time out it happens. my first time was a massacre. i didn't know my head from my ***.

5)goggles fog up, so spend the money on good goggles. also try breathing threw your nose.

6)keep your feet in and your elbows down, you don't need to chicken wing it, a exposed body part is a target. always mind your feet. i love to foot snipe

7)don't leave just cause your gun doesn't work or your out of paint i have seen games won by people who don't even have a gun in their hands. your faster without one any way trust me.

8)remember if you choose do stay back because you don't want to get into it baby:), the best players are coming as fast as they can for the spot your standing. they want the flag and your in front of it. move out and take a good concealed position on the path leading to the fort or flag. preferably close to it but out of eye line. they are focused on the flag not you, then you got the jump on them.

9) ask question most people on your team will help you out, their are no stupid questions. if you don't know you cant be as helpful.

10) always try to come up with some kind of strategy with your team even if its a walk on day. cohesiveness will always take the day. and your not running around the woods with no point.

11) talk to players during the down time between game. ask for pointers, or how it works. most of the players love sharing their in site on the game. some don't but whatever their hard asses in every sport.

just some friendly pointers from your old Friend Nate the ref recon:)
now go do work son

Very good pointers. I have been a victim to many a well hid player on the road to the flag I've also taken some hiders out while on the road.

I know someone that fits the 7) bill.

12) if your serious about paintball the first thing you buy is a good mask. whats a good mask? you ask talk to the people at your local pro shops. try some on if they are comfy and have a good lens system buy them.

13) (something i love to do) "play up" meaning play people who are marginally better than you. you cant get good by beating up on noobs all day.

14) SHOOT BACK! the only way to make the bad men stop shooting is to shoot back. for real try it. don't cower behind a tree poke out and open up.

15) don"t wear white socks. less obvious but if your in cammo what the h*ll kind of sense does it make to wear white socks. not to mention black hides the dirt better. lol

16)beware of your environment. i.e. don't go prone in a patch of poison ivy, it will ruin your week. trust me

17) wear a belt the last thing i need to see while behind you in a bunker is, your attempt at being a plummer. its just not fair to the rest of us to have to look at it wile you don't have to.

18)don't shoot at player with their guns up sounds like an easy one but allot of people have a problem with not being able to determine that before they pull the trigger a couple of times.(this one is not just for the new guy, you all know who you are)

19)make sure your shoes are tied, sounds dumb but ask a ref if they have seen some one fall due to untied shoes we all have a story or two or 9.

20) Make sure your pod lids are closed, and your hopper lid is down and closed tight. i even have fallen victim to that one. its a sad sight to see 200+ balls go to waste on the ground.

21)don't pick up paint off the ground. ruins the gun you will get dirt in their stuff will seize up and your screwed. not to mention its probably ****** paint any way.

22)clean your gear. take care of your gear and it will take care of you. i clean my stuff after every use and a thorough cleaning once a month.

more helpfull hints to keep you safe and in the game from your freindly ref nate :)

Some more:

Give you self a challenge by playing down technology wise.

- If you use a halo or egg, turn off the hopper or put a gravity feed on

- Play with a pump.

- Play stock class pump against other pumps (whole different world)

- Limit Paint consumption (hopper ball etc)


Friendly tips from the pump player deshelmet:)

1) keep your cool on the field if you get shot with your gun up mistakes happen.

1a) if your shot in this manner don't start shooting the way you got shot from because it just aggs the other guy on

2) "Treat others the way you would want to be treated"

3) overshooting does not prove anything. don't do it.

4) There is no I in TEAM

5) Meeting other paint ballers can be a fun time, get out there and meet some new buddies :D

6) If someone has a better gun then yours don't get angry its not the gun that makes a player good... its the player

7) Follow field rules. they are made for a reason.

8) Communication is a great thing to have on your side. Yell out what you see if you see a enemy to your left yell it out. nothin like seeing 1 guy take out a whole squad.

also, remember paintball is a game or even a sport, but paintball is not LIFE. at the end of the day the friends you play with will hopefully still be your friends, so don't be an *** on the field. we all started playing because it looked like FUN, let's keep it FUN.

I'm just saying, I've seen people, myself included at times, get carried away on the field. as a new player and sometimes as a vet, we need to remember that there are other games and more re-insertions. as far as thinking paintball isn't life, please, no one talk to my wife, she hates paintball and the time I put into it.

When you get hit (and you will get hit)
1. YELL hit - lots of players shooting means someone will not hear you.
2. Put you gun in the air - Hold it straight up, there will be time to put your barrel sock on later as your walking off the field. Putting you gun up lets players see you are out - easier then hearing it.
3. Stand up and walk out - There will be times you get hit walking out, it happens the woods are thick it is hard to tell whats going on but you will get hit less then if you stay down. If you just stay on the ground they will just keep shooting you.
4. Put your barrel sock on before you exit the field.

Lets be safe out there.

Take a hike.

For real, Everyone works on shooting in the back yard. And though having a dead eye shot helps a lot in a firefight, you need to get there first. Going on a hike in the woods can be a great skill builder for woodsball. You train your eyes to scan, you train your body to quietly pick paths...You become one with nature. Those with the skills to get close to deer in a silent forest will have no problem stalking a human in a loud paintball game.

Also a nice hike or bike trip in the woods is 100% non-paintball related as far as the wife has to know. :cool:

Mustangman
01-28-2008, 05:32 PM
yeah, keep it on the DL from the wife. the less she knows the better,otherwise you will be sending out help:). so if you wanna keep doing this :scared0012:, then make sure she is in the dark.:D

yes nate is correct on all his hints and tips. but even if you read all of them and study you will forget them in the heat of battle most of the time. all you got to do is play play play play and it will be like rideing a bike. after you get the basics down, go with your best points. if your a creeper learn to be quiet and sneeky if you like to blaze the trail work on speed and gilitly and working on you marker to fit you. myself i like to creep but in the middle of the **** at the same time. so i use a pump to save paint and to give myself the ooh aah factor hahaha. but i liek aiming and making every shot count thats why i use my pump even if im up against a team of angels or egos or what ever is popular right now. also dont go out there thinking since yo have the lates gear and the most camo flauge or tactical or whatever taht your gunna dominate. I have a shiny silver gun and all my other stuff is silver and black. HAHAHA they still can t see me most of the time unless im sprinting through the open wich is very tempting..........drool:)

in paintball your team is your best friend, as well as yor gun. when you buy new equipment research it a little. go to WWW.pbnaton.com or www.pbreview.com or just ask people that have it.

there are only like girls that play and are into paintball as much as we are 2 are reffs stacy and claudia. the others are players like alexs wife lisa, tims sister jinx, and the 2 pelican girls nicks chick E and troys siter most of them are under age and the rest are in serios relationships. but a huge hats off to darrin for girls play free days last year it deffinetly helped the count out.

23) if you do shoot in your backyard check your towns laws on do such things before getting your gun taken or more bad pr for a sport plagued with morons with a disregard for safety and or laws. meaning in Minneapolis if they even catch you with a good looking milsim gun your going to really screwed over bad. keep it in a case that locks, or move.

24) the more you play the better you are for sure. this is true with anything. work on it and analyze it.

25) (advanced only,lol) try stressing yourself as you play in the woods. ie, put on your i pod and tune out. Ive done it, scared the **** out of me as i advanced up Field. the only suggestion i can offer is one ear with and one with out music, and keep the ear with it in on the rope that way you can still hear the team and some limited shooting. plus i found my self playing to the beat. good fun.

26)stay cool, a two fer, firstly don't get all hot headed on the field, **** happens. morons do as they do. get a ref and have them deal with it. secondly drink water Gatorade, dress appropriately. i don't need people dieing or heat exhaustion. it gets hot its ok to miss a game because your to hot. take breaks get some shade. no one will think your a pussy but Darrin, but his standards are too high. lol jk

27)play at your own pace, its ok too be the slow one. you will pick up angle no one else can get, because you came up on it instead of it coming up on you. on the other side of the coin being the first one in has its advantages as well. i love to shoot the first shoot in a fats past stand off.

28)use hand signals, radios, animal call, something to communicate on the field. even a runner between squads, like the romans. works for me.!

29)(for squad leaders team captains and or generals)study the history of war. the way battle where won and lost. squad formation and movement. it will all help at some point. I'm not sure how but it will.

30)(again for the leaders of people(see i can be p.c.)) let people be who they are don't fight it. meaning if a player can play several positions let them.

31) try new markers, goggles, gear in general, barrow it from a friend. it might improve your game. also then you can learn what you like with out paying for it.

32) if you like playing paintball in your state, try supporting paintball in your area. meaning don't buy from stores in other states shop your local shops, I'm sure if they don't have it they will order it, if not they might send you to a store that has it or can order it. you know keeping local money local. i don't know just a thought more than a tip or a pointer.

33) have fun. its a game after all.

more randomness from Nate the ref.

)stay cool, a two fer, firstly don't get all hot headed on the field, **** happens. morons do as they do. get a ref and have them deal with it.


Just adding on to this:

You don't need a moron to cause trouble. Stuff can happen in the form of simple misunderstandings, quick moments of tension, or otherwise. People can and do get mad at the moment of incident.

The worst problems on the field are caused by the simplest misunderstandings mixed with a few words spoken without thinking. If you find yourself in one of these situations, just keep your mouth shut. More likely than not, if you're mad and say something, you'll add fuel to the other party's fire and set them off worse. Just keep cool and walk away. It'll dissipate fast, and the game can go on.

It is hard to try to talk girls into playing paintball. The typical first concern? b**b shots...

Life preservers work pretty well, I've been told... laughing:)

What are others concerns that you guys have heard? (so I am prepared for advocating to "co-ed" the sport).

What are others concerns that you guys have heard? (so I am prepared for advocating to "co-ed" the sport).

First and foremost, on the female player subject, is never stereotype women. I used to think my own niece would NEVER set foot on a paintball field, but she surprised the heck out of me at Darrin's old Baldwin field. She stayed back and sniped by our flag and nailed a kid right in the neck. Once she saw that she could splat someone and make them walk off the field, she was hooked.

The ONLY reasons she doesn't play anymore is A) she's a poor college student who works a lot at her side job to keep her enrolled, and B) she's got bad hips from her dad's side of the family. She can't run as fast as she'd like to, so she had to give up the sport.

We have some other members of the Militia that look like they'd rather go shopping that shooting, but they'll surprise you on their tenacity.

Now, I've met some other women who look like they own and operate their own security guard business, but they can be the biggest wimps in the world. Bottom line is, all you have to do is ask them if they'd like to play, and encourage them about successful shots on others and winning the game. Getting hit themselves becomes secondary.

One of the things we do in Morristown if we bring someone new to the game is, we set them up about 25 feet out, put on their mask, and have them turn around. The person that brought them down then gets to shoot the newbie in the back. Once the new person realizes what it may feel like, they get a lot more loose in the game, and don't hide so much. Having them go out without knowing the sting makes them so much less brazen to play and move around. This technique usually eliminates that fear.

My tip that I feel is of utmost importance. Don't get tunnel vision. Sitting in a bunker shooting off your whole supply of paint is just as stupid as running around in the open. There are limitless angles and hiding places in the forest. Save paint, and when you are under fire, get down fast and find cover fast. After you are safe in cover start to flank outside, get an angle on them, a suprise attack does wonders, trust me. Unless you have a double trouble and a **** load of grenades, your not going to win in a head to head fire fight. Besides its not worth the paint.
Bottom line, some times its best to use your angles, not your trigger.

This is a great thread, some great comments made here and Nate's right on, read up on warefare and tactics, I recommend Sun Tzu's the Art of Warefare, there's some great philosophy that'll help you out in other parts of your life too.

I'm not very well liked on the field, not because i'm super 1337 pwn the team omgwtfbbq paintballer, but because i'm a patient ambusher. Some might say camper, but they're usually the ones that almost step on me on their way to the flag and then get shot in the back haha. Anyways my best advice would be learn to lay down (go prone) and learn to crawl in, around, through, and over anything, and I mean anything, like mud, rocks, rotten mushrooms, deer ****, hell, other players if you have to. I dunno what it is, maybe people just don't like to get their gear dirty ("Paintball Tan" - Nate), but this is a super effective stance, especially against fast incoming attackers. Most players are looking ahead, or side to side, and at hill crests and the edges of things like trees, pallets, bunkers, whatever. Going prone lets you blend into the ground and your profile looks way more natural among low brush, stumps, logs, etc. I've found that even when someone locates me they have a tough time landing a hit at certain ranges and there's been cases where i've had 100's of rounds go right over my head (that's the best). As someone earlier said, don't just pick a spot in the path of the other team, they'll get you, know where they're GOING to be.

I'll say this, crawling around and popping people usually isn't going to win the game, you can't defend the other team to death so you've got to give yourself an overall objective to help your buddies, plus games are timed, you don't wanna sit around until it's over (unless you're practicing your creeping). Knowing this I sprint off the break and up as far as I can and drop down in good cover, rest, start creeping up, check my angles, if it's clear up and sprint to the next cover. The cover I look for usually has angles off to the side of somewhere that I know the enemy is going to be, but sometimes it's right in the middle of the whole game, which means they're gonna be everywhere and then you get to pick who dies first.

For beginners thinking that they want to be an 1337 sniper sniper:), know that in paintball it doesn't really exist, but alot of a sniper's non-marksmanship skills apply so I think of it more as ambusing. Learning movement techniques and relocation tactics are your first step and going prone should always be an option (except for in poinson ivy). The whole point is go get somewhere concealed that bad guys aren't expecting and then open up the whoop ***.

Playing this way can sometimes leave you the last man standing and it's up to you to win the game. So yeah, there's no I in team, but sometimes there's a ME haha. That's a whole other set of tactics...

And stay the hell out of bunkers, if a more experienced player tells you to get out of a bunker and move in, do it, "fortified positions are testaments of the stupidity of man".

I'm no pro, by any means, but it has been better than 16 years now.

For noobs, I would suggest wearing your mask around the house. Get used to having your mask on. It should not be uncomfortable, and it should not be the first thing you try to lose after you get taken out. Watch TV in your mask, surf the net in your mask, do simple things around the house in your mask. This is the most important piece of gear you have, get used to it.

For guys who are a year or two into it, and would like a new challenge, practice shooting with your non-dominant hand. I'm right handed, but I practice with my left as much as possible. This will only make you that much more dangerous as a 'baller.

Lastly, just have fun. After all, it is just a game.

I have owned a copy of The Art Of War By Sun Tzu for around 5 years now. It is a really good read for paintball players some of it is a bit hard to translate to paintball but if you can make the connection it is a great book.
If I'm not mistaken it is required by West Point. Just about every public library should have a copy for you.

my friend tried to make fun of me one time for asking too many questions out on the field.

he was like "Shut Up!"

he was embarrassed. and i was like, wow...... just trying to know whats going on. i have been on the other side of the field the entire game.

nice tips too.

I'm fairly new to paintball but the one thing i know for a fact that helps is running. Get all your gear on in the worst weather possible, (rain/hot/cold/ect.) and run a predetermined course that is a good distance. Don't sprint it, jog it and have lengths (1 block or so) of sprints and don't stop, keep going. I have found this very useful. When you are playing for a long time even if you are walking it starts to take a toll. This will help condition you for those long hot days.

And stay the hell out of bunkers, if a more experienced player tells you to get out of a bunker and move in, do it, "fortified positions are testaments of the stupidity of man".

It's been over 2 years since I posted this, and for the majority of players I will say adhere to this.

However! Since then I have spent more time on defensive tactics and I will say that it is very possible to hold off a much larger attacking force from fortified positions if you know WTF you are doing. Mostly this involves adopting speed-ball snap shooting, ammo/air conservation, and trash talking (see Monthy Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, siege of the French Castle).

It is absolutely possible to hold a fortified position with a pump marker or a large air/paint supply with one thing in mid, keep the attackers at bay with well aimed suppressive fire. Combine this with colorful trash talk for every lucky elimination you score and it's sure to frustrate your attackers. In scenario games where the longer you hold a base the more points you get, these kids of tactics can make a big difference. Above all though you have to accept the fact that you will eventually be overcome, but only after you make them spend time, paint, and air to earn it.

The point is, as a newbie you might think you can win a game by camping in a bunker, but as a team player you can play this way to buy time for the rest of your team. If you accept that this is a sacrificial tactic you can have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

I agree with most of what you said, though you left out a big one in my opinion. Even if you are posting up in one bunker, do NOT stay put. Keep moving, shoot out other sides of the bunker. Shoot from a higher point (standing), to a lower point (crouching). Change it up! If you keep leaning out the same way over and over, in the same position, it's going to become predictable, and easier for you to get pegged.
When you lean out to shoot, do more than just shoot. Look around when you lean out and try to see where the enemy is, and how far they are out. Don't waste your paint/air on those long shots, wait for them to get in range. You're at a advantage for the most part having superior cover.
And don't be afraid to get shot. Most likely it seems like if you're in a decent bunker, they're going to get close if there's a bigger force coming to get you. Keep your head on a swivel and keep an eye on how many team mates you have left.

And don't be afraid to get shot. Most likely it seems like if you're in a decent bunker, they're going to get close if there's a bigger force coming to get you. Keep your head on a swivel and keep an eye on how many team mates you have left.

Well said Drachen. You make a good point about spotting, I find half the time I pop out it's just to locate targets and I don't even shoot. Also a great point about changing it up, knowing all the peek points of a bunker when you get inside helps with this too. Also, if possible locate an escape route, nothing frustrates enemy players more than overtaking your bunker to find it empty because you slipped out the back :)

I have found the pump markers to be great for this because you can last a really long time and not worry about air or paint as much.

If anyone plays out at Splat Tag you might want to practice up, Darrin's building a huge castle out there.

Haha exactly, the trash talk should be just enough to get them riled up, but not angry.

Stuff like, "Oh, you sure showed that plywood who's boss", or, "Hey, throw another $5 my way, you might hit something!". Stuff like that. My favorite, when a team is dumping paint on my position has go to be simply, "Waste it!".

I dunno if they hear me half the time, but man it's fun.

I also get a kick out of using Slumlord's tactics of popping up and shouting "Bang, Bang!" just to get guys to rip 100 balls my way, fun stuff.

I like yelling out diferent names .yelling commands to flank and so on. "Bill go left, Jim and Tom hold that right flank, snipers stay in position till they are right on you." I did this at the Hunt when 8 or so newbs were attacking the Mess Hall. they turned and split. I only had one guy with me. Funny Stuff

Weird cause when I yell it's bad moon they run away. I never knew that people charged when anyone yells. I do antagonize, like stand just out of range and dance is my fav. Or start try to catch a ball is very funny.
