2: Don’t Trust Your Teammates
Right up there with assuming, this one seems
both nasty and unconventional in a team
oriented activity. You must be pragmatic.
Use your teammates, but don’t rely on them.
Let’s imagine you are in an up position.
You’re close to the action with a teammate
in a nearby bunker. They won’t permanently
be there to support you. They may move!
They may be shot out. If they get shot
out, your position on the field just became
significantly easier to attack and take out.
Good teammates may come through for
you in battle, but if you count on them not
to fail you are making a mistake. Play as if
you are the last man standing. Play with that
conservative mindset to make it through and
finish every game.
3: Don’t Overextend Your Lines
Many new players love to run up-field and
get that great bunker, and you should!
Sometimes that bunker is so far ahead of
the rest of your team that the other team
takes position around you and takes you
out. Playing a point man is great. Showing
the world you can brawl is bragging rights.
Just be sure to play as smart as you play
aggressive and you’ll be one of the best. You
will certainly be respected.
4: Don’t Go Prone:
Prone? It means don’t lay down to shoot!
Staying on your feet means the moment
things get tough, you can run! Try running to
better cover while laying down! Even worse
is when you get a small window of time to
move up to a better bunker and you have to
take time to get up and run. There are times
and instances to get down low, but while
just learning the game, do yourself a huge
benefit. Don’t go prone in woodsball.
