rsb Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 Period of Field Use: 3 years    Last There: August 25th, 2008 Paintball Experience: 4 years Other Fields in the Area: TPG-Awesome field great times Panther-Been there and enjoyed everygame Review: I actually first started my paintball experiences at this field several years ago and I must admit how nieve I was at that time. This is probably some of the worst staff I have ever met running a field. The owners are helpful but aside from that almost all the refs are self absorbed jerks who give little considerationt to the fact that the majority of their players are renters with little knowledge of the game. Even though its the closest field too me I rarely play there simply because of the staff. Paint prices are competitive for a woodsball field and they do their best to keep the field interesting and move bunkers and create new structures, at least whenever I return it all seems new. Overall its a good field but its a shame they make such poor staffing choices. Every time I actually play there which is once or twice a year I am again disapointed. Rentals are your standard tippy 98's but they use comp air which is nice too see for a woodsball field. Overall they have have a great field for their limited space, the prices are competitive and rentals are pretty well taken care of. No proshop but its not really needed for the single field woodsball setup. Rules are pretty standard and enforced despite the refs apparent lack of concern for players. I know they hire players who love the game, I just wish they had some sense of customer service. Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 1 Comment - Add Comment

Jagang Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 The accuracy of this review is disputed. Please see discussion on the comments page. Period of Field Use: Less than a month    Last There: April 18th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 2 years Other Fields in the Area: None Review: I was not pleased with the personal the worked there. I happened to know one referee from martial arts training. I was standing near to him and another referee ( who didn't know I knew the other ref) there was something amusing said between the two and they laughed out loud, feeling like I was a little to close to them to ignore the laughter, I chucked lightly. The ref I did not know turned at me and said " hey don't laugh at things that don't concern you" Well I cant tell you I was willing to play fisty cuffs right then and there. But the ref I knew decided to take the other ref away. Now this little puke was itching to impose his will or power over others cause he was a ref. Now that I had my eye on the kid I could see he was a jerk to almost everyone. This one individual made me so irate that I never want to go to North Shore Paintball again for fear I might.... get an abuse charge against me. Also the price of paint is ridiculous for the quality. The paint was absolute crap that would not fly straight and it would break every tenth ball out of my A5. they are charging over 4 times what the paint cost them 400% PROFIT??? damn. Also not to mention the ground is a swamp worthy of gum boots, how fun. all in all use the money that you would spend there at paintball gear and buy some paint and fill your tanks and go play with your friends in the woods. Way more fun for WAY less money and vulgar angry behavior. Such a shame that Vancouvers paintball field is an unhealthy environment. Sorry Cory and Andy you need to hire some nicer employee's!

northshoresux Sunday, April 29th, 2007 The accuracy of this review is disputed. Please see discussion on the comments page. Period of Field Use: Just once    Date There: April 14th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 1 year Other Fields in the Area: Tsawwassen , ambush, panther and lastly BEST FIELD EVER IN COQ Directions to the Field: .. Review: SAFETY: tooo extremly over done. give the regulars some slack. FIELD: muddy when wet, or dusty when sunny. PRICES: LMAO! let's just say i don't have money falling off a tree. when i pay 10 cents per ball you know that's stupid. at the field i play i pay 1/5 of that price. staff: useful but a bunch of teens trying too hard to be the boss. players: bunch of little kids. with rentals. alright i guess i think why they suck so much is because of attitudes they have. and the way they treat you. and maybe because i found the best field out there..field is boring. and if you like playing with rentals then go ahead. if you like to blow your wallet go ahead. or you have a choice to play with the best and learn from nice people who are not cocky and will teach you how to play the game. have fun at northshore guys! .5 out of 10 Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 9 Comments - Add Comment

eskimobob Monday, April 16th, 2007 Period of Field Use: 3 months    Last There: April 15th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 1 year Other Fields in the Area: ambush, panther Directions to the Field: bottom of capilano road, on the east side of the road, next to the train tracks. Review: Great field! THE REFS + they actually pay attention to the game + helpful + happy to help fix your gun + enforce safety rules + very social + great sense of humor most helpful/ friendly ref there has to be taner and yes, it will be pretty funny when someone eventually shoots someone when you yell "ok games on! " before choosing teams FIELD + lots of cover + good hills + good buildings + safe Paint is a bit pricey, but fairly good quality as long as you buy 500+ bags, however the prices are the same as other woodsball fields in greater vancouver. helpful tip : buy paint in 500 bags or more, the smaller amounts of paint are more expensive, and usually dimpled this field is awesome! 10/10 Last edited on Friday, May 25th, 2007 at 12:01 am PST Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 3 Comments - Add Comment

argh_123 Thursday, March 29th, 2007 Period of Field Use: Less than a month    Last There: March 18th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 1 year Other Fields in the Area: panther and tpg Directions to the Field: get off at capilano exit. its on a reserve Review: its an ok field if all the other fields are closed. id go to this field last in the lowermainland first off all because they charged me 45 for 500 paintballs and they were diablo heat LOL. boy was i pissed. they shot in all different directions and i bought a bag of 100 and they were crappy witebox paint. now for the field its a good field and the refs were awesome. its got lots of ppl there , but if u plan on bunkering some1 go somewhere else, u get kicked out for the day(some guy there did it)(wat an idiot) cory the owner was prety kool and the person who worked at the counter was good and the refs helped me out. i would go to panther then tpg then finnaly i would go to ns paintball.

farrelly38 Wednesday, February 21st, 2007 Period of Field Use: 3 years    Last There: January 26th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 3 years Other Fields in the Area: none Directions to the Field: intersection to marine drive, go down cap road and pass native reserve Review: Well when i first went there i was 12, and let me tell you i was scared, i didnt know they would be so strict about safty. Little did i know it really mattered. Since then ive been a regular. They are extremly safe and give you a speech before you start playing. The field overall i love, although i cannot compare it to any others it is quite fun. They have a wide variety of bunkers including forts, hills(BIG BTW), cars, tires, stacked logs, fences, mesh netting, and natural surroundings. NSP operates from dusk til daw, or if i said it wrong from when the sun comes up until it goes down. I do find the paint pricy, but once again i can't compare it to other fields considering this is the only field i have played at. Number 1 rules is safty and other than that i cant think of anything other than dont cheat and have a good time. Service there is pretty good, and Andy(owner) is amazing he never seems to take a smile off of his face. Only problem i had was when Cory(other owner) just told me to get a new gun when i said there was something wrong with it, when right after i went to Andy and he fixed it. Refs are pretty good. They make fair calls and dont favour certain players. They split teams up pretty evenly and if your with a group of friends they let you be on the same team. Players, and especially regulars are great. Except for the ocassional idiot here and there that just shoot each other for no reason, but was actually pretty funny. him and his friend just started shooting each other from 5-10 feet away and they were just laughing while the refs were trying to split up teams. They have a porto potty in the back. Although i dare not to use it. they dont have much in the way of food other than pop and chips and the ocasionaly ice cream truck that pulls in front Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 0 Comments - Add Comment

8177818 Monday, February 12th, 2007 The accuracy of this review is disputed. Please see discussion on the comments page. Period of Field Use: Just once    Date There: February 10th, 2007 Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Other Fields in the Area: None other Review: First time I tried paintballing at this field. At first I didn't know what to expect seeing that it was secluded pretty much out of no where. You go down a road and hit a dead end..and there it is. The lack of facility wasn't the real issue. The temporary facility are lacking ratings but are made up through the field. Pros: Cheap entrance fee / paintball / rentals / equiptments / Great effort to use what they have Cons: Staff needs MAJOR lessons on how to treat their customers. Staffs have to be straight up and take control once players enter field. They need to EVEN teams. Regulars cannot be treated DIFFERENTLY. Countless times I notice the regulars receiving better service than first-timer customers. The other founder Corey?..not Andy, needs to loosen up on his attitude towards players. I saw this one player accidentally walk out of the field without his barral plug because there was none left. He wasn't told what to do nor given rules as he was a first timer. He walks out and gets flammed. Threatening customers will only make you LOSE customers. He treatened and kept tauntng him about him being owner blah blah. Even so he's owner, power abusing players will result in low ratings. Overall, this field is GREAT! i had a blast nevertheless. i would recommend anyone who has experience from the past to go here.

Slaggo Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 Period of Field Use: 3 years    Last There: January 20th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 4 years Other Fields in the Area: tswawassen, panther.... Review: i have been playing at north shore for 3 years. The field has improved every year that it has been open, new features are being built every couple of months and bunkers moved almost every week to keep regulars on there toe's. in this winters storms some of the bunkers like the jail house(aka crack house) where semi destroyed and allot of trees fell in the back, it looks a little thin right now but in the spring everything will be green and beautiful again other then that there were some great improvements in the field like a set of tire stairs up the front and back of the main hill!. allot of people complain that they don't have a compressor for 4500psi, they don't take credit or debit cards, and that they don't have food. that is because it is on native land and there not allowed to put electricity at the location and also they are on a lease so if they did have electricity put in and they were nto able to renew there lease there out all the money that it cost them to put in the power poles (it cost $5000 to put in just one power poll!!!) The staff there are TOP NOTCH. i cannot say enough good things about them. if you have a problem with your gun, i can guarantee you that one of them can help you, from pumps(russ) to timmies(Andy) they find the problem and give you a solution. CHRONO IS MANDATORY AT THIS FIELD , you get one warning and if you caught again your gone, that goes for any rule, in-fact i think there is only one warning per-day for everyone who is playing. do not bring your own paint because they only shoot one or two colors a weekend and will check everybodys hopper if they see other colors flying. as for paint fees i used to think that it was expensive , then i thought about everything that they have to pay for Rent, business license fees, employees, equipment up keep, meterial for building up the field, chrono( oh yeah DON'T SHOOT THE BIG RED CHRONO), and much more other stuff. if you think about it everybody has to make a living, and if you really love paintball then $45 (500)to $80(1000) every-other weekend isn't that much, if it is i suggest you quit smoking or something. the facility's ( tables and such) took a beating this winter so it will be a little while before everything is up to top shape again but when they are up, everything is fairly good. this field is in its fifth year i believe and will be the number one field in bc in no time at all The short list: Reffing- the best i have seen ever Facility's- there's room for improvement field- for ever changing (for the better) prices- you get what you pay for and more(like i said everybody needs to make a living) Safety- is top priority and if you follow the rules you have a great time players- the nicest REGULARS i have ever met (leave the smack talk for the drive home) customer service- just be patient and polite and people will help you, your not the only person there i give it a 10 but there is room for improvement as far as there being more tables (too crowded in the regulars area) Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 0 Comments - Add Comment

Comando_chick Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 Period of Field Use: 1 year    Last There: January 28th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 1 year Other Fields in the Area: I played at this one field in Victoria and I have to admit I love North Shore Paintball compared to that one. The ref's were rude and unfair when it came to splitting up teams evenly and they weren't very creative when it came to variety. Directions to the Field: "Follow the yellow brick road.....I mean dirt road" Review: Well I play at this field almost every weekend and I love it. They play a good variety of games and try to be as fair as possible when splitting the teams up. Sometimes one of the Ref's might be in a bad mood but that doesn't stop them from trying to be as helpful as possible when it comes to having problems with your guns or just having a question in general...... One big downfall is that there is no really food there, just pop & water...sometimes the ice cream man comes by. Safety is a HUGE thing at this field so be prepared to be kicked out for a game or for the day depending on which rule you break if you decide to try and chance it. I love all the staff especially Sherrie who always works the front desk, she's tough but really nice at the same time. Watch out if you overkill a newbie, the regulars (well me at least) watch out for the younger ones in gameplay. I think the prices are a little steep when it comes to buying a case but Andy & Corey give out free paint when possible...... I like all the regulars who go there, it's like one big extended family. All in all I love the North Shore Paintball and would recommend this field to anyone... Report as Inappropriate - Dispute It 1 Comment - Add Comment
