When its time to move, there are certain paintball tactics you should use to make sure you don't become an easy target.
Remember that the key is movement. However, I would say that it can't be movement for no good reason and it has to be done smartly.
Here are some tips for knowing when and how to go for it. There are also lots in Paintball Heroes:
-Check the situation. Is it time to go for it? Can I stay any longer?
-Know WHERE you are going to move before you do it. This is critical!
-Choose your next move so that it gives you the best cover with the best angles
-Its better to make a number of short runs than one long one. Try to keep under three seconds of running
-If you are under fire, learn the patterns of the people shooting at your bunker. You will probably notice a pattern for how many shots they take. When you learn that and they fire the last shot, go for it
-If your opponent does not know you are there, crawl. If they do know, RUN. If you crawl and they know you are there, you are just a slow moving target
-If running, run as fast as you can and then slide into the bunker baseball style

There are lots of paintball tactics for stuff that happens during the game, but I'd like to talk about what to do before the game starts.
It is incredibly important to have a gameplan prior to the horn blowing. Here are some things you need to do:
-Plan who will be doing what: Flag-defenders, flankers, forward and back players.
-Any signals or special words for communicating?
-Walk the field: what position will you take first? Where do you think the enemy will likely go?
-Where will you likely go next and where could you possibly fall back to?
-Any ideal traps?
-Are there good/bad bunkers and what are likely scenarios that could happen at them?
-Make sure your hopper and ball carriers are topped up and you have enough air!
When the horn does finally go off, its time to run to the furthest one first and go from there. KNOW WHERE YOU AND YOUR TEAMMATES ARE GOING.
