I sued to play frequnetly and play for team from Bitish Gas and Texaco. Always work in team of 4.2 pairs. Had a visual system for indicating when enemies are .Eg 2 enmies and 4 oclock at 25 feet.Put covering fire inot them from 2 angles and the other 2 players move up. You can quite often shoot thier guns when they pop up to fire back.

Another ******* of a tactic is to run like the wind and get to abot hal way then turn around, facing thw wrong way with you back to the enemy. Lie on you armband and with your free arm wave your openents forward and then when you have a few infornt of you fighting your team mates shoot them in the back ! Took out half an enemy team like this on a few occasions.

Also pretend to reload and as the get attacked your collegues pop out and take out the attackers as you duck down.

Love to play again but am not fit as I was and would probaly keel over .

Can't beat the arena games when you get 2 teams in a filed the size of a tennis court. now thats a buzz !

Depends where you are playing and what type of playing area's are involved?

The best tatic is for every body on the team to pair up. then from the start of the game run as far down the field as possable to a barricade spreading the team accross the field from one edge to the other. This is VERY important as you must stop them getting behind you and it gives you the chance of your team pushing down their flanks and shooting them either from the side or behind.

As pairs you work it so you are normaly about 5 metres apart and you never stop moving until you are behind something solid and big enough to hid all of you AND your gun. if some body shoots at you don't shoot back the odds are 50/50 get you buddy to shoot them out and you do the same for them. if one of you moves get you buddy to give covering fire never move forward with out covering fire. If your buddy advances you must then move forward to support them. Never move until you have decided where to go to and don't stop until you get there. Don't get up and run looking for some where as it will be a turkey shoot.

This is a team game the best team wins not a group of individuals.

Last but not least comunicate talking/shouting to each other is vital.

I always recomend turning up with a big wallet, that always helps. Serriously if your worried about how much your firing off then its no good

Some great advice here. Adrian, Some good tips there. Thanks.

I agree that the best tactics are to split into small unit and support each other. Problem is that I don't think the rest of the group are going to take it seriously enough to do that. I'll have to get a little team of serious players together

Maybe we should get a Scoobynet game going?

Thanks, i hope it helps.

If most of the team are not to serious then best to let them do their own thing and either attack as an organised group down one side or if there is 6 or more of you playing seriuosly then buddy up and split into 3 or more groups spreading across from 1 side to the other you have to stop the opposition getting behind you! and by spreading across the field your group can stiffen the resolve of the rest and take advantange of any weakness in the other team.

most importantly remeber to have fun it is a game and if you want to play seriuosly then get into tourniment paintball!
