anyone ever played paintball?
i play a bit. a rather good time. we play like this:
a larger tyrannical goverment force (6-8ppl, but it can be many more or less) patrols a wooded ravine in search of rebel ressistance.
a smaller hidden ressistance force is waiting for the patrol. they usually set up some kind of ambush, or get a patroler alone and snipe them.
some people i play with dont get into it that much, but their just unexpearinced soliders of the goverment just fallowing orders, waliking into a ambush of hard-living rebels.
--or--
thier ratty untrained rebels to be squashed by better armed professional soliders, that all depends on what team im on.
when im a solider i carry lots more gear ( sevral hundred rds or paint and a 200 rd hopper) when im a rebel i lose extra gear and go a gun and 45 rds of paint. i chande tactics of the diffrent teams. as a solider i shoot a lot more and yell to my fellow soliders to cordinate out effort. as a rebel i sneak around more and make no noise and usually only take shots when i have to,(to conserve our low supplys of ammo) and either way i dont step out of charicter untill the game is over.
yesterday 2 greenhorn soldiers walked righ to me. they spoted me at about 40 yds due to poor camo. a short shoot out occored. i fould my gun was only lobbing paint at about 1/2 speed and getting worst (my gun is really broken, i find out later) so they drew back to some good cover, but they turned around when they did this, losing sight of me. i hid with my broken gun behind a tree and they thought i went down the ravine. they started taking fire from the oppisite side of the ravine so they hit some cover and fired back. looking away from me, they had made a fatal error. i bellycrawled up to the first one and 1 horrible shots out of my busted gun scored a head shot. the gun was getting worse and i knew it had nothing left. the other solider still want aware i was stalking him. as fire raged all around i scored a bayonet kill (tapping enemy with barrel tip). this ended that game. the next game ended in tragidy, i had bellycrawled up a 2 ft deep frigid creek and lay in the mud for 20 min, my time had come, the best solider on that team ( scored all thier kills in that game) went up the hill and walked into my trap. i fallowed him for a sec and BANG. o shit , no paint came out! parts flew off my gun. he turned around and layed out a burst of 5 shots. i managed to avoind them, but the next scored a body hit. game over
time to get a new paintball gun.
paintball is awsome when played with a scenero in mind. some guys play bank robbery sceneros. i think that would be cool.
