EDIT (5/21/07)- Fields and rest areas
As you can see: I have played at almost every field in and around Houston. Now it would be unfair to try and compare Urban-Warzone to these fields that probably have over 10yrs of operation (each) already under their belts. So I will not do so in this review but will try to highlight what I feel is helpful to describe Urban-Warzone.
Safety: Both owners are real big on safety. Mask, chrono, barrel socks are all talked about in the safety meeting before play. They are also not jerks about reminding you to put you mask on when entering the field. They know people forget (especially people who are new to paintball). This helps in maintaining a friendly environment.
Atmosphere: once you arrive at there, the owners are real POLITE and willing to help you get started. This is what I feel makes a great paintball field!!!!! They are known for being great guys and easy to talk to. They have 3 large tables and 2 large canopies to help with the hot sun during summer time.
Fields: They have 2 fields-- 1 air ball field and a barrels field. Both fields are great but being a speed ball player..I kinda just play in the air-ball field. The barrels field is great field for rec-ballers and people who are just now starting to play. It offers a lot of cover and prevents any short distance shots (which is great when small kids are playing or people who are just now trying paintball for the first time).
There are plans to build about 4+ more fields but that is in the future. Can't wait!! It will be more air-ball fields and more of the "Urban-warzone" theme (barrels, ect.) fields.
Reffs: the reffs are great and practice safety. They are willing to jump in and play to even up teams so that everyone can have a good time. They are still fairly new to paintball but definitely do a good job.
Price: The price is very competitive which is even better since they are located inside the 610 loop.. no more including gas money in the total. They now offer compressed air at their field which is a huge plus!!! I used to have to take my scuba tanks (which wasn’t so bad) but now I can just show up w/ my gear. They now carry three different grades of paint which is great and give the players more options. Prices can be seen on their site. The monthly VIP pass is the best!!! For only 29.99, you get unlimited play and discounts on items (such as paint). I have been getting the pass for the past 3 months.
Rest Areas: The field has tents, tables, and chairs all set up for its customers!!!! So no sitting out in the sun during the summer break. As far as food..they sometimes fire up the grill. I have been told by the owners that anyone is welcome to bring their own grill and cook.
Gave the field a 9/10... maybe just one more air ball field??? | Last edited on Tuesday, June 5th, 2007 at 7:02 am PST |
