To me, it's all paintball. Woods and Speedball are different flavor games. But I look at it as the terrain (I consider inflatable bunkers as "terrain") and conditions dictate that different priorities and objectives have to be mixed in a different way. And I don't think you can overlook the benifits of playing woods can be to your speedball game. This first time this was really shown clear to me was a pick up game I was in. The opposing team was able to get a front player to the center 50 bunker but we got the mid and black right flank players out on the break. My front buddy was able to get to a bunker about 30-40% of the way near the tape. He pointed out the center 50 guy as who he was going after and I became cover. While I flew paint and generally made noise at him to distract, my front player got along the snake along the tape, crawled past the 50, and shot him from behind. To me, that's a sniper move in speedball. Using terrain to avoid detection in an effort to make the critical kill with the least amount of firepower and resources. After making that kill, he was soon eliminated as the entire opposing team tried to light him up. But it WAS the critical kill. Just something to think about. :) : You both sound like what I would consider to be a sniper. Not someone yutz that uses his poor skills as an excuse for not getting into the action. Instead you use it to help your team out. See, I play alot of speedball, I love woods ball too. I've learned that woods ball players and speedball players, when they only play one or the other, or just full of themselves. You will be amazed how much speedball taught me that I can use in woods, and have. I don't care where you are, a huge amount of fire can do wonders, but also I learned as a frontplayer that being quiet alot helps too. That I learned from woods ball. In both, we kinda have our own roll of a sniper. I pop out, cut out about 3-4 rounds and jump back in with the hope that nobody saw me, or that I at least wasn't hit. It's the way it works for me. In the woods people stock others and when they least expect it, do your short burst, eliminate as many as possible and get down.
