Backman Poll

[G 2]

ok me and mt friend are having an arguement on how much a backplayer shoots...i say that they dont stop to shoot and give cover fire very often and that they can easily shoot around 1000 balls per game...the other says this is not true...what do you think?

[Mr Murderdoll89]

Dude I play back. When I wear a different pack and have a larger tank on my gun I shoot WAY over a thousand.

[G 2]

nice.....yea my friend is probably getting mad reading this right now lol bcz he is wrong...well thx bud. :D

EDIT: yup...he read it hes like" ok you won shut up" LOL.

Depends...My field is so small its like a 3 man field, but there are 30 people on each side. There isn't even a point of firing a lot because everyone on each side is behind a bunker due to the amount of paint in the air. Its pretty sad, and I wouldn't go there usually, but its the cheapest place around.

lol yea that is pretty sad...30 ppl actually fit in all the bunkers?...i would laugh if some would have no place to go and would have to stay out in the open... :laugh:

I hate playing in conditions like that. I say I'm going to the snake, and off the break, 18 little kids cut me off to all squeeze behind the back bunker and I get shot becuase the delay keeps me out in the open too long and the frontman on the other side bunkers all the dumb kids. Well, not exactly, but it's pretty close...

If your back players shoot 1000 balls per game, and you're not playing 7 man, you need to learn to close out games faster. Back players need to communicate, shoot lanes, and get people into their bunkers so their fronts can move. They also need to be able to fill bunkers when players get shot out so their team doesn't get pinched out. There's much more to being a back player than just that, but those are the basics.

I could play back with a hopper and 1 pod.

[dubis07]

Just keep the other team pinned, with however much paint is required to do so.

Show off......

[dantriggerhappy]

I can play back with a vl200 full, thats it. My strategy: Play recball.

[mooman666]

Well we just play three man so on average in a drawn out long game I'll go through almost 500 (a full hopper plus two pods) but usually its just a hopper full.

[Deep Thought]

I play back, but mostly 3 or 5 man games. And most of the people I play with are very aggressive, so games are short. I generally shoot only 300 or 400 rounds per game, but that is probably becuase at the moment I only have a mech autococker... I do know that some of the games I have played while using someone else's electro, I shot about 500 or 600. Mind you these games are short to.

[igota98custom]

When I play rec, I pretend I'm playing sup air...Shoot just as much paint, only bad thing is, most of those hit trees and stuff...Might not be the smartest thing but whatever.

[UTLadiesMan]

Generally, in a 5 man game while playing back I'd shoot anywhere between 350 and 500. In 3 man I usually won't even finish a hopper.

boot the kids out of the way:dodgy:

[paintballer8807]

depends on what they r playing, what level, how many ppl, how long the game lasts, ect.

[SpyderGnome]

generally with a 5v5, i shoot about a hopper and 4 pods, with 3v3 i shoot about the same or a little less, well pending on team we're playing, if I have to go defensive then I shoot way more paint.

[Bigshot]

i have played back agains a couple of D3 guys with a broken gun. my team won. told my front were they were.
