On The Paintball Field - Strategy

Remember some guys take paintball super seriously and expect you to act a certain way if you're going to be playing around/with them.  Here's a few ideas to make sure you have more fun playing paintball....

• Always be honest. If you get hit and see the splat on you, please raise your hand and exit the game. There is always another game to redeem yourself. Sometimes players try to wipe their paint off and think they can get away with it. You only do that if you really suck. By the end of the day it will be obvious if you suck.
• Don't ever call an advanced paintball player a cheater. They hate that and take their games really seriously. No matter what happens don't do this, you are asking for trouble. That is how seriously some people take their game. They are mostly very honest down to earth people. One time I did this and the guy wanted to fight me.
• Don't be afraid to ask or learn. With the speed of technology these days it is hard for anyone to know everything about paintball. You'd be surprised what kind of awesome paintball gear there is out there you don't even know about yet. Check out www.choicepaintballguns.com for the latest in tactical paintball guns and supplies.
• Always appoint a team captain and follow his orders no matter what. This is the key. The team captain does not have to be the most experienced or the wildest or the most intelligent, but there has to be one captain. Follow orders even if you think you have a better plan. Don't go for self glory. I remember one time a young 9 year old played with us. The team captain told him to hide behind some tires and stay there forever until it got really bad or we won. It got really bad, our whole team was eliminated except for him. The other team had no clue about him and 3 of them came marching in to take the flag when he slowly jumped out and killed all of them. Obey your captain even if it does not conform to your method of play.
