Paintball: An Intro For The Soon To Be Paintballer

by Reed Mitty

Finding a game that the whole family can enjoy during the summer time is not an easy task. However, if you looked at combat games you will find paintball is one of the only games that can be played by the whole family, young and old. Now, you will obviously not have grandpa running around with a paintball gun trying to catch the younger people with paintballs. You could always make grandpa the general so that he could make up the game plays.

It is a game of skill and strategy and you can easily adapt paintball to suit your needs, skill set, and number of players. With paintball you can easily have fun with a small team as well as a large team. You can play competitively in speedball or recreational on a woodsball field. Either way is fun, but there is certainly going to be a definite preference within each family. Some people are naturally attracted to smaller games, while others seek big game battles with high stakes.

If you come across a paintball game at a fair or carnival then you will probably not be playing the full version and you will only have a short amount of time to get your opponent covered in paint. When you go to a paintball course you will find that you have a huge area to play in and it is usually set in a forest type of setting which makes it more realistic as if you were in the army.

If you want to make it a game that will last for a few hours, just like a true battle, you will need to have a large team of people, or if people are few in numbers, simply give each player a limited number of lives.

A fun game to play is the game of capture the flag. Now, you may have played capture the flag before, but if you were to mix it with a game of paintball, you will have a real fun game on your hands.

The first team to have all five of the other teams flags win. Now, it is not as easy as it may seem, because each team can re capture their flags, making the game of paintball even longer.
