Oh God. Another sniper.

Look, I'll say now, you can't do it. It just doesn't work in paintball.

But of those choices get the Flatline.

i like my apex cause imo its an improved flatline

but not sparking a debate.

and lets just ignore anything he said about snipers, much easier

One shot one kill?

Have you ever played paintball?

Ya i did play, i was once a québec(canada) co champion, was like 10 years ago, i was playing with an old gun, very short-ranged, pump action, but had a real nice grouping

There are people out there that don't exclusively play spray n' pray.

If you can sit there and sight in on someone and shoot one ball and hit them, you are playing a bunch of newbs.

yeah one shot one kills only hapen from >10 metres away

ohh.... went all metric system on your azzzz

Preferably not.

But you can work on your grammar and sentence structure if you like.

Not true.  I have had plenty of seasoned players walk right in front of or past me in the woods where all I needed was one trigger pull.  If you use cover, concealment and the patience not to move, you can have your 'one shot, one kill' happen.  And I am by no means an elite player.  I've played with and against people that are military, law enforcement and hunters.  The hunters are harder to kill because they're used to sitting for hours waiting for something to come by.  I try to emulate them depending on the game scenario.

We both know he's not talking about pump. That's different than what he's imagining.

shooter----------------------------------------------------- -------*------ target

Not gonna happen.

go with the flatline, i used to have mine...and wish i still had it, it was pretty accurate (oviously not at really long ranges...then its just suppressive fire)

as for the...laying down and waiting for hours/running right up into the battle...i would NEVER want to wait somewhere for hours, thats just **edited**. I'd rather get out but have tons of fun doing it then win, but sit around and do nothing for the maj. of the time

NOTE: i dont go to a field...so our games dont last anywhere near 3 hours anyway..so if i get out...eh, not a big deal..the game will probably be over soon.

spray and pray is what paintball's about (pump excluded)

in woodsball nobody who tries one shot one kill is a good player

That has to be one of the most ignorant posts I've seen.  Laying on the ground?  Bwahahahahah!  Hardly ever.  Lying on the ground will get you killed if somebody is running a skirmish line on you or if you get flanked.  Most of the time I'm in a crouch.  And if you consider people that have played 10+ years, belong on SWAT teams or have hunted all their lives as newbs, then you got me pegged.  I shoot newbs.  LOL!

I started out playing with splatmasters and pumps.  I still try to keep that mentality in the game.  One shot one kill doesn't happen very often, but it is very satisfying.  And trust me, I do throw a lot of paint depending on the circumstances.  But it can be more fun if you don't have to.

You're kinda conceited, aren't you?

Not at all.  I did mention in a post that I wasn't an elite player.  I'm not.  I consider myself an average to good player.  But I wasn't the one passing judgement on a person's tactics of play.  I wasn't calling somebody a moron.  I said that one shot, one kill scenarios exist.  There are alternatives to spray and play.  Just because you have a marker that can shoot ropes of paint doesn't mean you have to in all circumstances, right?  Are you going to tell me that if you had an open shot on a nearly stationary person within 50', that you will open up on them and hit them a dozen or so times before they knew what was going on?  I would certainly hope not.  I'm not going to designate a name for somebody that does that.

Conceited.  No.  If somebody's style of play works for them I'm not going to call them a more because of it.

Enlighten me.  What is the difference between name calling and hubris?

Name calling does not indicate excessive pride or self worth. It just means that the giver of said insults or "moronisms" views the recipients views with disgust.

True, you can be excessively proud of yourself and bring down others because of it, but that's not the case with me. I am perfectly willing to be wrong and I am not always right, but in my experience someone who does the so-called "camp" tactic is less than a stellar player. Ie, newb/noob/whatever. Hence, my lashing. In my view it's cheap BS that a player who can't play "correctly" performs. Generally they are very proud of thier agg pwnzor jeet taktiks. That is irritating to no end.

Hybrid, you manage to make these threads a spectator sport!

Sure it does.  When you call somebody a name, you are being disrespectful.  You offer criticism, but not constructive criticism.  You make fun of somebody from some kind of superior vantage point.  It wasn't enough that you didn't like  or agree my style of play, you had to insult me.  Look down on me.  You obviously believe that your style of play is far better than mine.  And what better way to show it but to be insultive.  I would have to say you're the one that is conceited here, not me.

And see, this is the height of your conceit.  "I don't play correctly".  There is something wrong with the way I play.  I mention one tactic that I use from time to time  You don't bother to ask if it is the only tactic I use.  I assure you, it is not.  Apparantly you assume otherwise.

Generally they are very proud of thier agg pwnzor jeet taktiks. That is irritating to no end.

 Ok, can you repeat that in English?  I didn't understand anything after the word 'thier' in the first sentence.

For somebody that says there is a difference between conceit and name-calling, you fit the bill in both areas.

The problem is that I don't accept laying on the ground and snippering or whatever as being a way to play the game. That, along with the fact that I have seen way too many wannabes over the years/months that I have grown bored of these types of threads. That has made me... perhaps overly brutal and shortsighted.

Maybe I've grown sick of winning arguements, and so I post bait like this to let someone win... probably not, but well done. I will never accept your style as a way of playing, but perhaps I wont be so quick to bash it next time.
