Different types of Paintball Scenario Games

The first game we’ll look at is “The President Game;” in this game you can have as many people as you desire. On the presidents side there should be fewer people; at least a quotient of 3-5. As soon as the whistle is blown, the presidents should have three check points that they must go back, thus going back to their own side.

          Another game is “US Marshals;” in this game you have too opponents, the US marshals and the fugitives. In this game it is essential for the US marshals to turn their back for about three minutes and give the fugitives a chance to hide. A time clock is also applicable to set for twenty minutes, and if the US marshals get the fugitives in less than twenty minutes, they win, and by the same token if the fugitives are not found in those twenty minutes, they win.

A third game is “Nuclear Bomb:” is this game there are two teams, the terrorists and the feds. The terrorists have already kidnapped a fed and forced him to build a nuclear bomb. The terrorists have the scientist in one place, and the nuke in the other. The feds are obligated to free the scientist and the nuke. The scientist is able to use his gun right after he is freed, but he can only use it if he has gotten tagged by the feds. Once the scientist and the bomb are on the feds side, then the feds win, if all the feds get shot then the terrorists win.

More Tips on Choosing a Paintball Marker

When selecting the right paintball gun, or marker, you should be sensible about the skill level that you have achieved. If you are just starting out, you can start with an inexpensive paintball gun. Consider buying a cheaper paintball gun if you don’t know how often you’ll be playing or what features to look for in a paintball gun. To determine what kind of a paintball gun you should borrow a few markers and try playing on dissimilar fields. After using and finagling around with the used paintball guns, you may eventually decide to get one of your own that you feel comfortable with, and possibly with all the features you want.

Visit your local paintball store and price the guns you like. You can also order them through the mail and over the Internet, but don’t order anything you haven’t essentially seen or held. Sometimes advertising can be a tad ambiguous. Acquire your paint-gun and familiarize yourself with it. You should know how to take it entirely apart and put it back together prior to playing the game.  You should be able to do this in your sleep, it is that important.

Paintball fields are also a great place to learn about paint-guns. You can observe all types in action, converse with many people, and even rent numerous types of paint-gun. Your local paintball store is also an excellent foundation of learning the information.

Female Paintball Teams are Winners!

In recent games many of the paintball girl teams have defeated a lot of all male paintball teams. These all female paintball teams have not only beaten tough and strong all male teams but they also faced a lot of obstacles in every tournament that they joined.

 

Just imagine that five paintball marker toting beautiful females coming at you with their paintball guns blazing away. Do not even bother to blink, or you’ll be hit. Some of these female paintball players are good (really good). Male paintball players should not or must not underestimate female paintball players. Female paintball players may look meek and fragile, but be careful. Appearances can be very deceiving. Most female paintball players are very serious in playing paintball, and very athletic.

 

Some women are hesitant about playing paintball because of the pain experienced when one is shot. Getting hit by a paintball can be very painful. However if you ware wearing the correct protective gear, the pain can be greatly reduced.  It is always better to wear more gear then less gear if you are fearful of the pain when you are hit.  Keep in mind the extra gear may slow you down slightly, and make you more susceptible to being hit. There are some women that love the adrenaline rush that the game paintball gives them. Some get hooked the first time they tried playing paintball. With all that excitement, who can blame them? After all the game paintball is a very competitive, exciting and fun game to play.

How to Win at Scenario Paintball

There are various character roles available on a scenario paintball game. Some of these characters include medics, demolition experts, helicopter pilots, engineers, and commanders or generals. Some scenario games even have spies and double agents. A scenario game player will be given a character card before the game starts. A character card is the proof of the player’s scenario identification and on what or whose side the player will take place.

 

Most scenario paintball game players use “mil-sim” paintball guns or military simulation paintball guns. Most of the players’ equipments imitate real military gears and equipments in terms of form and functions. In these kinds of games you will get to see a lot of paintball bazookas, walkie-talkies, electronic bugs and yes, a paintball tank.

 

Almost all levels of paintball players are allowed to join or play on a scenario game. As long as they follow the rules and regulations of the game and as long as they have the required gears and equipment that the scenario game coordinator requires.

Scenario Paintball

A scenario paintball game is a type of paintball game where the players must accomplish a single or series of missions on historical, fictional or sometime wooded settings. On a scenario paintball game, each team has their own command post or base camp. The base camp is surrounded with a variety of bunkers. Once the mission has been given to the respective teams, the team leader or commander will then plan on how to accomplish the mission.
Most scenario paintball games are based on storylines and most of these storylines have two (or sometimes more) opposing armies. The objective of the game is to accumulate points. The team with the largest amount of points wins. The points of a scenario paintball game can either be earned through the elimination of the opposing team or by completing the “missions”. A typical scenario game usually lasts twenty four hours. Playing a scenario paintball game can be very exciting and fun. Always remember to bring along your paintball gears and equipments.

Other than the typical paintball gears and equipments, you should also bring some communication equipments when playing a scenario paintball game. A two-way or handheld radio will do. This will give you a great advantage over opposing teams that don’t have one. Always bring along your camping gear. Even if the weather is hot on daytime never underestimate how cold the night can get. Extra clothes can also bring a lot of convenience. Don’t forget to bring adequate food; starving while on the woods is not a pleasant experience. Some scenario paintball games require paintball players to bring sleeping bags and tent. Even if these are not required, it always pays to be ready.
