help me paly back :(

[teso_tom_green]

for this tournament my team needs me to play back :( :(

this is a problem, as i have played front all of my life. can you give me some tips or strategies? i shoot an angel, so bps doesn't matter

[PMI_Guy]

keep heads down (i.e. spray like your life depends on it.)

[DrunkSnowlet]

Well i usually play front too, but i hated the front setup this one time, so i played back. I just try to let everyone know where everyone is, I yell out where they are to give the front players a basic position where the opposing team is( I hated when I play front and my back player dosent tell me where they are so sometimes i wouldnt know where to pop out and shoot.) Get like a proteus so you can communicate better. I also shoot whatever i see sticking out it could be a hopper,leg,arm,harness anything i shoot at to keep them in. Or this one time i let them pop out so the front player could get him out and he got him (use your head.) And you definitly need tons of paint.

4 things to make a good back player:

shoot a full hopper off the break, and communication, communication, communication!

[AK47]

Stay tight in the bunker. Comunicate what you see!

A front player forced to play back goes against nature, you shouldn't break some laws and this is one of them. But don't worry dude, I got your solution right here; Just burn a string of paint into the back of your front guys head off the breakout, then occupy his primary and play front. It's so simple, it's shocking

Good luck!

And that is why my team never asks me to play back, and I never volunteer to do it :)

Lol I've seen that happen. We let this gu from school play with us. WE gave him my friends shutter with J&J but it froze up. So he took a stock 98 and he shot my friend in the back of the head. i was rolling on the ground laughing my *** off it was SO funny.

[2k1AngelShooter]

Ok, heres where I draw the line in the sand, shooting someone in the back, whatever it's kind of funny (depending on the situation) but shooting someone in the back of the head is STUPID, DANGEROUS and NOT FUNNY. That could cause major injury and if it happened around me I'd be serouisly pissed off. I think where I play (WAP) depending on what and how would probably get you banned for life for pulling something stupid like that. You head is a very fragile thing and there is no goggles to cover the back of it.

[elTwitcho]

Heh, relax bro, 2 things

A) It was a joke.
B) There is very little danger from being shot in the head. There was a recent death from someone who was shot to the head (first paintball caused death) but in order to have the type of hemmorhage he had, you would need to have a defect to start with. I've been shot in the head oh so many times, it's not a big deal because paintballs don't carry alot of energy, I've been bunkered to the head (that totally blew) and didn't even end up with a concussion. Stop scaring everyone Angelshooter :P

[-RuShPB227-]

everyday at the field (friday, saturdaay) someone gets hit in the back of the head. If you are talking about on the field, then its gunna happen no matter what.

[2k1AngelShooter]

Ohhh no no, thats not what I meant. I know sh** happens, I mean I've been hit in the back of the head, whopidie doo, but intentionally aimming for the back of someones head is not right. I mean, you never know, someone could have a soft-spot or something right? I don't really care, I mean heck my gf lite up teh back of my head the first time she played :laugh: but it's still not cool for people to aim there on purpose you know? I'm not trying to scare people or preach.

[elTwitcho]

Oh my bad, I thought you were reffering to my post, didn't notice 133+'s post at all. Feel free to call me a moron ;)

[2k1AngelShooter]

Naw, it's easy to misunderstand people. I should have quoted him instead, I'm just glad you now understand what your talking about. I can tell that you were just joking, it's other peoples post sometimes that makes me worry.
