Come on, move up move up move up, go go go, move up move up. Now, when you hear somebody yelling that on the field, odds are they are not trying to live up a faketish War World II moment, they're actually trying to help you out. Moving up on the field is crucial to winning the game. Let me show you why, after I get this guy. Alright, understand that paintball is played on a field that has boundaries that is X by Y, just like that. Now, it doesn't take a genius to tell you that if the field is only so large, which ever team owns more of the field is going to be victorious and that's what moving up does or more correctly that's what the effective moving up does. By moving up, basically what you're doing is taking angles away from the other team, number one. Number two, you're gaining angles for your team, you're taking more real estate for your team and quiet frankly, it's a lot more fun to just move up than it is to hang back all again. So how far should you move up? Obviously you shouldn't like run from your twenty five to your fifty, unless it's extremely extrordinary circumstances. But a couple rules of thumb; number one if nobody is shooting at you, odds are nobody is looking at you. I also try to keep the three second rule in mind and that is how far can I move in three seconds? It usually takes an opponent to see me, bring the paintball marker up to there and start shooting, that is if they're not looking at me. Now, if they are looking, what you're going to do is you're going to give yourself cover fire. Before you take off you're going to shoot paint at the opponent, that's going to make him duck, probably for two to three seconds. That'll buy you your two to three seconds so that you can bump up from your bunker to the next bunker. Another time when you're moving up is if nobody can see you. If you're playing in a very high grass field, a field where you can get the delta advantage, take it. Crawling through the weeds unseen is just as good as breaking down in the middle of the field. It gets you into an advantageous position. You thought I forgot about them, didn't you? Now something about moving up and this happens to me quiet a bit. A lot of times when you're moving into your new bunker, you find out it's the absolute worse place that you ever really wanted to be. Make the best of it, whatever you do, don't stop in the middle of nowhere and try to figure out what options you have left. Once you make the commitment, go all the way man, don't stop. There are times you do not want to move up. For example; when you know that there's more than one person shooting at you, that's a bad time to move up. This is when you communicate to your team where those guys shooting at you are and then they can flank. All in all, moving up the field is a main stay of the game. You can't just sit in the back and win paintball games, they don't win themselves, you've got to go get the flags, they don't capture themselves and come back to you, you've got to go get them.
