I haven't mentioned it before, but there is one type of player that annoys me even more than the Spec-op "snipers"; the Spec-op "Commanders."  I found the following on their forum:

Originally posted by Spec-ops Lt. Spec-ops Lt. wrote:

*Bold added for emphasis.

What makes this individual think the walk-ons would follow his directions as opposed to telling him to get bent.

Other info:  I visited the team web site; the team consisted of nine people.  Position assignments showed one commander, 4 snipers, three question marks and one blank.

Do not start Troll wars with other boards. Or there will be guestings on both boards.

We have some people on walkon games that try to command.

Nobody listens to them at all.

They generally give bad advice.

Commanding before the game in woodsball is often useless in my experiences.

During the game though, I often take a leadership role to tell newer players to move up .

Not commenting on what he wrote, just what you did.


Whenever I go to the field I take charge of my team, and they mainly listen for a few reasons.

1) I know and am friends with the refs and they see us joking around all the time, there by showing I am a regular there and probably know my way around.

2) I play with a pump, and according to a lot of people, pump players are either "stupid broke noobs" or "Gods of the sport"... it tends to be the latter for me.

3) When you have your own cult following on the internet because of a video of you playing and doing decently... people tend to listen.

and finally

4) Just the mere fact that someone is willing to take charge, people end up listening.

the most i ever do in regards of "taking charge" is i ask where everyones going and mention that everyone shouldnt go to the tank just because it can hold them all...esp. when the "tank" has two hugely exposed sides. plus i hate being in clusters

edit-linus has a point. a lot of newbs walking on dont really know better yet than to do their own thing and figure other guys have more experience

Good to see both of you missed the point.

I never said I was a god... I said pump players are often viewed as either poor noobs or as fantastic players.


Doubt it? Get a pump and go to a field.

That's the only thing that anoys me about Pump Players. They are always into their Motif more than the wannabe snipers.

I have owned pumps and true its fun to play even at times its an adrnaline rush. But this whole zen like talk of keeping it real and going old school and skill of each shoot its just turns to blah blah I love myself.

I dont think I ever judged anyone by their equipment. I think I learn move by how they move off the whistle than by any fancy stock class pump.

I think they were commenting on the latter part. lol. Maybe you meant "former" or you meant it as a joke/sarcasm. Just my two cents.

That's what I was saying... people at any field I play at instantly think that I have to be pretty good to be playing with a pump, without having ever seen me play, or that I'm broke.

lol i like when little kids follow me around because of my autococker. one rec game i had like a  little army of 3 little kids, it wasnt even like a fps anymore, more like playing a RTS. 1. little kids will always follow around those who look like they know what they are doing, 2. if a little kid want to tag along they either listen or i do a suicide rush and they wont follow me, 3. Pump users are not snipers, the only reason they get 1 shot kills is because theres no way to overshoot when shooting so slowy, and lastly, and most importantly. WHY DO WE KEEP BRINGING SNIPERS UP WHEN WE ALL AGREE THAT THEY DONT EXIST IN PAINTBALL???? it deosnt matter what some milsimer thinks, just pwn them and make them learn, dont try to reason with someone, people never listen, ever.
