Paintball Basics
Andri Irawan asked:
Paintball is a safe, simple yet challenging and strategic sport that is played usually by two teams, each with at least two players. Adults and kids alike enjoy this sport as they often refer to it as an advanced or improvised game of tag.
Tournaments attract many spectators of all ages, as it is a very exciting game to watch.
Paintball games are of various types, however, the most popular game often played is called “capture the flag”. The object or the goal of this game is for teams to advance to the opponent’s base, move the other team’s flag to its destined location, at the same time guarding your own flag.
The paintball field has many obstacles such as tires, forts, old cars, hay and the newest are “inflatables” that are constructed as refuge for team players; making the game all the more exciting, as if participating in an actual game of war in videos.
When one is hit, it can hurt briefly and at times give players bruises. Players are typically required to be in long sleeves shirt and pants, making sure that the color is not be identical as that of the judge and complete paintball gear such as mask, helmet and goggles for safety.
The sport of paintball has a distinct and accurate set of rules that are strictly followed. The producer of the tournament is the absolute authority in regard to either an alteration or addition to the rules; marshals oversee the event, and their decision is always final. No dispute on the paintball field is accommodated or entertained.
A military approach to paintball is useless, as that knowledge is recognized and understood by the teams. A team’s tactic should be carefully planned; your team’s line of attack will not be known by the opposing team, and there should be a quick switch of plans in case something goes wrong.
There must be a lot of team work involved, as everyone moves through the field. As a team member moves, there should be others to guard and keep watch and give off covering shots when necessary. A team that moves together with a common objective will have a great chance of succeeding in this game.
Communication in the field is also very important. A team-mate can shout the position of the opponent. The moment that a player is seen, the game for that player is up; so there is no reason for you to keep quite; instead, inform the others the location of the enemy.
The excitement of this game concludes when you are seen and eliminated – a situation that all team players struggle to avoid.

Finding A Place To Play: Paintball Fields
Riley Hendersen asked:
For the paintball enthusiast, there are many different paintball fields from which to play. Part of this is the enormous popularity the sport has managed to garner for itself. A simple search typed in any internet search engine for “paintball fields” will bring up fields in virtually every state in the United States. This gives people many different options as to where to play and when.
There are several types of paintball fields. While some are indoors, most are based in the great outdoors. One of the most interesting things about the sport of paintball is the places where it can be played. While you should only play where it is safe, and where you have permission from any landowners, that really doesn’t limit your various options. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of places to play. This isn’t only true of the outdoors, where finding a paintball field isn’t hard at all, but it is also true of cities and towns, many of which will have their own indoor arenas that are used for paintball.
There are many types of outdoor paintball fields, and the terrain can vary from wooded areas, to relatively open fields, to paintball fields decked out with props like fake buildings, old cars, haystack walls, jerry-rigged forts, and whatever else the creative and active mind can conjure up. The variety often amazes beginners.
The woods are a natural and exciting place to play paintball. To many paintball players, the perfect paintball field is in the woods. In their minds this is the “purest” (i.e. most traditional) form of the sport. The thought behind this is that these fields are more like real-world combat. Players have to learn to use stealth, to work as a team, and often times when the paintball field is in the woods, fighting tends to break out spontaneously when one group fires on another from a cover position.
Another popular form is by having the paintball field at a “scenario field.” Which is an area that is designed similar to an urban assault and often has fake or basic buildings. The most advanced ones are even multi-story, and cover seems natural like in a city. This type of game leads to really fast action and sudden dramatic turns in who is winning and who is losing. This would be almost the complete opposite of a “speedball field” which is a very generic term used to describe fields with bunkers, haystacks, or just random obstacles across and otherwise open playing area.
Indoor paintball fields offer a very different experience from outdoor play. The first thing many new players notice when coming indoors is that paintball guns inside can be very loud. Because of limited space, play at an indoor arena is fast and furious, and will give you a massive adrenaline rush.
There are as many different types of paintball fields as there are players, and finding your best game in paintball might be just as easy as finding your preferred paintball field.
