| Review: |
i went there with a friend because i had free passes and i only had to buy paint.
we got there and saw hundreds of cars but they were for this big air soft game.
we bought our paint and got ready. then a ref greeted us and let us play 1-1. it was great we got 6 or 7 games (we switched back and forth sides on some fields) before anyone showed up. then by 10 or 11 there was enough for about 15-15 and i had a great time the whole day.
refs- were OK did not call everyone out but they tried there best
cost- was good i had free passes but i think it was like 25$ with your own stuff
paint- they had white box for 40$ and midnights and bronze for 50$ and it went up for private paint
fields- good they said they had 20 i played about 5 of them in a day
time- good you bring your paint in the dead box and play back to back rounds all day
staging area- good they had locks on these big boxes you can put bag in and paint
lunch- was the only downside it was expensive 4$ for a hot dog
bathrooms- 2 big port potties
pro shop- was good they had tippmans to dyes and everything in between
overall it was a great day and will be going back next week 10 out of 10| Last edited on Sunday, May 25th, 2008 at 10:47 am PST |

As Soon as i got my Ion i decided to g play here with a group of my friends. I loved how Awsome this Field was it has excelent Coarses. I am Mad they Prevously Charged $100 Bucks for a box . However i think they lowered the prices, They also charge $15 Just to rent a Paint Harness , However the friendly Ref let me barrow it 4 free. They have a Excelent speedball Field and A Nice woodsball One . They will help you if you have any Technical Problems and they recently Made a Large Pro Shop |

I decided to try this field about a month or so ago. The staff are friendly and can help you with just about any tech question you may have. I have found there refs to be pretty good, always saftey first. I have only played three of ther fields, this time of year(Dec,Jan) its tough with weather and turnout. One field is called rabbit run, this is a very large woods field, it consists of alot of sticks and limbs stacked into bunkers. There are many of these bunkers allover the field, some big some small. The Hyper ball field is very large also, there is alot of good cover,but the games are fast moving on this field. The other field I've played is the city, very small field consisting of about 12 buildings(2 of them are two stories)a van, a truck, and some drums. Games are very fast moving and very close. A Fun Field. One other field I saw but did not play was Grinder another village type field. They have about 20 fields. They say they are working on some new ones for next year. They have also closed the shop on rt32 and moved it to the field location. There paint is pretty reasonably priced, they have 4 or 5 qualities of paint and they range from about $40 to $80. Admission with your oun gear is $20(I think its $25 without) They also have CO2 and Compressed air (4500psi). |

Liberty Paintball. At the time it was sweet cuz I was a noob and they had very accesible fields, but I remember prices being a bit extreme. |

I have only played on the speedball/xball field of this location, and it was among one of the worst speedball fields I have played at. A number of bunkers were poorly inflated, the bunkers were held in line with ropes that ran across the field, making it very easy to trip, and there were many rocks on the field. My friend slid, banged his knee and was out for the day. It was a fun day because we got to play against NYX all day, and they dominated us, but the field should really be more playable. The snake is very difficult to play because there are gaps i it, and the right side of the field is difficult to move up on at any time. Overall it is a decent place to play speedball, but I'm looking forward to playing woodball at this field this weekend. And finding a better field to practice speedball at. |

When I first got to this field it looked like a bunch of sheds that people are just running paintball games out of. I was wrong. All the refs and the staff there was super nice to me and extremely helpful. I had a chopping problem and they offered to help me, although I didn't have enough time. They even offered me a free rental! I played only two fields though, Rabbit, which was woods with some stick piles behind trees with moderate brush on one side, ripe for flanking. I then played an urban field with several buildings and each side had a two story building shaped like and upside-down "T". Unfortunately I got there late, but when we played rabbit we switched sides so both teams could try out the field fully. As for facilities, well there pro shop has the basics; masks, jumpsuits, gloves, squeegees, and pods. Nothing much else. You could ask them to order pizza for you, although I think they did have a little snack bar that I did not eat from. They rent out basic 98C's, camo jumpsuits, basic masks, and plastic chest protectors. I recommend buying paint before you get there at the Cousins store before you get there because there's a larger selection and variety of prices and brands. Make sure to bring your receipt with you. Otherwise you have to buy a case of Pev's blue for $80 at the field. Overall I thought this field was better and much more organized than Liberty. I will definitely go back. 8.8/10
Edit; I would just like to add the Glen, one of the refs/ workers is possibly the nicest gentleman I have ever met in my life. He is always very happy to help and is just an all around nice guy.| Last edited on Thursday, November 1st, 2007 at 4:51 pm PST |

When i first showed up at the field, the first thing that i recognized was how big this place actually was. Although i played on their Xball field the whole day, i was impressed by the looks of the other fields. This place seemed very safe because they made you wear your mask when you were near anywhere where you had thew slightest chance of being shot. The hours were also very nice we stayed there from 10 until four in the afternoon. I was also very surprised on how good the prices were for everything. We payed 50 dollars for entry, all day air, and a case. Overall i feel that this is one of the best fields that i live around and i will definately be back there again. |

Me and my son have only been playing for a few months and I must say I love it. The field is great the staff are very courteous and help full, even the regulars who've been coming for years don't make you feel left out.. Their is no such thing as expert one side and no-obs on the other, everyone is the same. The refs are very nice, funny and also concern about your safety they even go me saying to others that come for the first time "(masks on!) " "(barrel plugs on!)". There pricing is ok, if you buy your paint before you get to the field which is located 15 minute from the field (also owned by cousins) at $39.00 for a box of 2000 you'll save a lot of money. don't for get to bring your receipt. Once you try it you will love it. and when your ready buy your own equipment your gonna want to get it at the cousins paintball shop located in New-burgh. There you will meet Chris who runs the store and you will catch him also at the field. I must say his staff at the store are courteous very knowledgeable on paintball equipment and they are not fast to sell you just anything they will school you and suggest what to get. Also they warrant there products. And not expensive on there equipment and have the latest paintball guns. So in conclusion come out to the field and give them a try you won't regret it. |

Just played here today with 3 of my buddy's. Arrived at 9:30...didn't play our first game until 12. Played 2 games then came in for lunch for an hour...After lunch we played 4 games (2 of those were the same field we played before lunch!)....all in all we played 6 games the whole day! Not to mention I saw 2 fields the whole day! The refs were decent at best. They were helpful but the time between games was ridiculous. The place is very dis-organized and the whole trip was a huge disappointment! It was cheaper then Liberty because we did buy the paint at a cousins store. The place is suppose to have decent fields but I couldn't experience that because we played 2 fields the whole day! Not to mention 6 games from 9:30-4 pm is a disgrace. Liberty is 10 x better then this field and I will never go back to cousins in Plattekill.

im writing this review now because i want to remember everything. I went with 3 of my friends ron, tony, Sean. we all have had experience with fields and play at least once every two weeks. It opens at 8:00 and the store opens at 10:00 it doesn't make sense because people can use the paint from the store if they show their recite to the owners of the field which is 40$ a case minimum for blemish ( not bad ) other wise its 89 a case
for Pevs paintballs. we get to the store and we have to wait a hour after it opens for some idiot who forgot to set his alarm for work, and when we buy the paint he didn't give me the recite so i would have to buy a case at the field! then we all get to the field which is 15 minutes away (not bad) and we det up and pay the fee of 20$ OWN EQUIPMENT and 10$ for all day air ( good pricing ) so in total it was 70$ to play. then we sit there on broken benches that were about to fall and wait for another hour. then we finally start playing on the field called city which isn't bad. But we played there the whole day! and they supposedly have 20 Fields? the refs were horrible they stood in the way of the fire fights and never moved and would stroll over to check some one.
they would also take 15 minuets between games for nothing. the place is just bad. bad fields bad refs. no food. no bathrooms ( portapoties a mile down the road) and they didn't really care for others safety and had no responsibilities.
even though it cost's more money its worth it to go to liberty paintball games because they are way more organized responsible and knowledgeable they have better fields and good refs.
i gave it a three becuse i still had fun. |

| Review: |
Though I have not been playing paintball for that long, nevertheless i know when a field is upto par and where it should be at with regards to staff and services etc...Im not terribly hard to please just as long as the job is done right and without complaint. it didnt seem to be the case at cousins. I went up there with about 20 people. Right off the bat, they said we wouldnt be able to have our own field, because they were understaffed today and did not have enough refs. We must've waited at least an hour and a half in the main crappy part of the area. This consisted of nothing more than a few trailers painted camo green. When i was finally able to get my stuff ( Since i was still renting equipment at this point) i got a mask that was wet. When i questioned it, the kid at the stand said "wet meant clean" in a condescending tone. This did not start my day off on the right foot.
When we finally got to play, the refs were absolutely out of it. People in my group were taking their masks off and they didnt seem to care or even notice. Safety was definitely not an issue with the refs that we got.
Fields- The only thing i liked about cousins was that it had some decent fields to it. The little city scenario was pretty cool, and their woods ball wasn't bad either. Although they had some small crappy fields to compensate for this as well.
Prices- Not cheap at all. since i was still renting all my stuff at this point, it cost me 55 dollars. This got me admission, equipment, and 500 balls. If you brought your own stuff, you could sub equipment for all day air. Cases were 88 a piece which i thought was way too high.
Proshop- I didnt go in, but it looked pretty small and unaccommodating.
Food- Absolutely sucked. IT was something like 4 or 5 dollars a burger and it took 30 mins to get 2 burgers and some fries.
All in all, im not going back to cousins. Im sure even experienced players would agree. For the amount of money you have to spend to play there, you can find alot more fields with better services and better refing. I must say in all fairness, i was only their once so i t could have just been that i got put with bad refs, but my cousins experience was not a good one to say the least.
Rating 4/10 only bc the fields were kinda cool. |
