Just thinking of some ideas to get some pump play going just wondering first of all where people enjoy playing pump ie woodland or supair fields and also what do they choose to rock stock class or open etc. Just give a few details on where and how you enjoy playing pump.

I've only ever played woodsball, but willing to give pump play a go on supair fields. At least you won't get a boxfull of paint in the face every time you break cover. I'm getting a bit tired of the spray and pray muppets at walkons TBH :rolleyes:

I have to admit that playin Sup. sounds like fun.

Usually on ramping your pinned down waiting for a reload or a change of your oppo's aim before you can break a move, but with the crazy 2bps fire rate of pumps, i think movement should be easier and aim is going to be more important than ever. If you can just see an elbow or tip of a barrel behind a dorito, then hitting it with single shots should prove entertaining.

Definitely sup'air. Though the variety offered in woodsball is great, the terrain isn't one ball friendly.

Sup'air pump really does let you think much more clearly about what you need to do to win the game compared to a faster flow xball game. For a new pump player (such as myself) I would have definitely preferred to start on a sup'air field as the overall divide between ramping and pump play is much clearer.

If you can just see an elbow or tip of a barrel behind a dorito, then hitting it with single shots should prove entertaining.
You'd think so, but I found it easier than ramping...


Nice thread Jack

Very true Players often dont tuck in after you fire a shot at them they dont realise that someones actually shooting at them as they are used to hearing there bunker being pummeled with paint before they pull themselves back in
