Hello there fellow paintballers
Today, I signed up for the forum as I really wanted to get involved more with the community. I joined this game and created an account about a month or two ago, you may of seen me mainly on either DcN Sever, Jump Maps or Crack The Speed/Public.
I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself here. I've been on a few forums in the past and by looking at some of the previous posts here - You peeps seem like a great community! My name is rather long, so you can call me 'JMR' for short, if you wish.
I really enjoy this game, when I joined my reaction summed up in words was basically. "Woah, this is very realistic, wait how did that guy run/jump so fast and high?". I have to say, the reason I like this game so much is not only because of the detail in the game, but the originality of it. I love how you strafe, trick-jump, circle-jump etc to get to different places, take shortcuts or generally become better at the game by outrunning your opponents. At first I could not do it at all. I remember being at the map 'prolandr' and not being able to jump through the hoop! As time passed by, I'd try to learn, I'd switch to observer and keep close eye on the technique. I tried to ask people in game, but no one could really see my message because the box was flooded with ""__insert_name_here__ Was Eleminated" Haha. Anyway, once I figured out how to do it, it was hours and days of practice at one of my favorite maps - Italy.
The may 'Italy' is very good for newbies, it covers both long-range and close-combat situations as well as good tricks available for the pro's. I probably spent 80% of my time since I joined playing DcN Italy! Since I got better I decided to try out other maps. - Since then I really just went on the speed severs and went on any map I could find. I wouldn't call myself a 'pro' at all, intact I'm probably at 'newbie' stage, I have much to learn. My weakest point for now is probably fast-reaction aiming. I find it hard to turn fast and aim at the same time, so if you see me failing at close combat maps, you know why haha. I'm decent at jumping and strafing and have masted all the jumps at prolandr and Italy. So basically, I'm on my way, enjoying the game and wanting to discover more and learn more. So here I am, JMR, introducing myself to the community here si a big HELLO to everyone!
Okay this is getting quite longer than I wanted it to be so I do apologize for dragging on. I hope I've made myself clear on what level I'm at (newbie) and what I want to achieve here (learn and communicate more with others).
So that's it from me,
Cheers if you read it all! On a side note, I don't understand what the OTB severs are, and why they are password protected. Could someone explain that to me? Cheers!
