I alwas thought speedball was like woods only with a little less protection.

A main tactic is of course to get to a bunker as fast as possible. A lot of people start throwing paint early on, but rarely hit. It's best just to get to your bunker as fast as possible, staying low as you advance.

NEVER EVER poke your head over the top of the bunker. Unless you carry a can of plexus and lots of papertowels. You will get nailed in the mask, it happens very often to new speedball players, and the expirienced people will look for it.

Snap shoot. This sounds harder than it looks, and people explain it to be. If you practice it you'll have no problem. Snap shooting is the art of popping out for a split second, firing off a few rounds at your opponent, and then tucking back in before the return fire hits(provided you didn't get the other guy out). A good way to practice this is setup a target. Practice having your gun in resting position and then quickly bringing it up and firing. With as little time aiming as possible. After a while it will become second nature and you won't even think about it.

Snap look. Sort of a spin off of snap shoot, only you just pop your head out for a sec to see if you can see anyone. this also connects to communication.

Stay tight. Many speedball players are fairly good shots, if your hopper is sticking out they'll aim for it, If they can see the tip of your foot they'll aim for it, I don't know how many people I've hit hoppers on that were just casually showing out the side of bunkers. So keep all of you and your gun behind the bunker if your not shooting.

Communicate. If you don't remember anything else I say remember communication. LITERALLY YELL out the enemy positions, some common language is:
50: Middle of the field can be 50 left, right or midle.

Back: the field side furthest from you, can be Back right, left, or middle.

Mirror: A bunker on the opposite side of the field, the same distance from the 50 as yours, usually you yell, your mirror or my mirror.

These are to be yelled so your team can hear you, if your team doesn't communicate, there's almost no point in playing speedball.

Also each field has diffrent names for certain bunker types, learning these can be helpful as well.

Also you should advance the same way you do in woods, covering your teammates as they advance.

If you use this info you should do fairly well at speedball. If there's anyting I've missed, please people post it.

also remember to walk the field... find out where the key points on the field are. Then when the game starts, if you can get there, book it...

Also when you are running, dont shoot, it just slows you down, and you are not gonna hit anything anyway. make it to your bunker and make your aimed shots.
