I know we have a lot of players on this site that play the game different ways. My question is what about your individual personality helps you play paintball better??? ie. good listener, aggressive, level headed. And one thing that hurts you in the game.

I know for me it would be patience, flexability (being able to change plans) and being able to think under pressure.

My weak point is some times I get side tracked easily.

adrenline rush takes me over and after im done i really cant remember what happened....but i can say small, fast, spaztic

i'm aggressive. very aggressive. BUT i like to play a well thought out, well played game.

GLK=brocore.

i just like to wing it i dont really like super down to the last detail plan i mean yeh go right or left but go right stay there 3 mins then leap frog up 200 feet that stuff isint fun :( agressive, and adrenaline rush hehe

My biggest weakness is when your on that second day of the scenario and you decide to go around all that brush instead of going through it. I always end up putting myself in a position that is less than optimal however I have caught myself the last few times and I think I have it corrected. The funny thing is, I love the deep woods and brush!

I think one of my best qualities is my visibiltiy. I'm an old buck hunter from the hills of Pennsylvania and I can spot movement from a mile away. My field of vision also provides me an added bonus.

One of my weaknesses is letting my gaurd down such as what happened to Thumper, Grendel and I at home base during the FF. We all of a sudden were under attack by 5 semi's and if we were all not looking at the map discussing our next move they wouldn't have gotten the surprise on us. This leads me to another quality and that's teamwork. Having this quality permitted us to get out of that situation.

I would have to say the biggest detriment to my game is the physical side. I just can't go all out like I could in the past. Of course other parts of my game have helped to cover up some of those problems. I think I have pretty good field awareness, which gets better the more field time I get. As those who know me can attest, I don't get flustered very easy on or off the field. The best part of my game is out thinking the opposition, rather than head to head battle. There is nothing better than letting the enemy see you, back off a bit and then get behind them before they know it. Another key to my game is knowing when to sacrifice myself for the good of the team. One person being eliminated at the right time in the right maneuver can win a battle many times. You would be surprised how tempting a target an old fat man rushing you can be. Ooops, the enemy didn't see the rest of my team flanking the opposition while they were eliminating me.

Sometimes I like to hang back a bit, but I find myself pushing up more and more. Whenever I push up and play aggressively, I do better.
My weak point would be overdoing the aggressive part and getting shot out in return.

My Fast likes to shoot people!

Positive:
- Patients: I've been known to spend a couple hours in a bush listening in on opponents planning/missions and reporting via radio to teammates.
- Field Awareness: I play heads-up and scanning, I've good hearing for movement.
- Sense of Direction: I always know where I am on the field and how to get to where I'm needed.

Negative:
- I assume my teammates "know" what I'm doing and sometimes wander away from them.
- Patients: I sometimes am too patient, sometimes you just need to act.
- Old and Out of Shape (see Deepfreeze's above) I'm working on it though dropped 10 lbs and back running again so watch out young ones :wink:

i guess one of my weaknesses would be always trying to use my military knowledge and be to tactical sometimes you just got how do they say it " GET er Done" anyways but i think my best attribute is that i can listen and understand the plan and follow instructions to the tee and when needed can adapt and overcome most situations
