| Review: |
I've been going to this field since they opened and its always been a great field, with fun scenario games to speedball (which i rarely played).
(Pros)
1. SAFTEY: they nailed the safety requirements and rules, having to wear your googles on all parts of the field till you get to the ready station. Putting your barrel cover till the time you are in the ready station till the game starts. Enforcing the paint that they sell, checking each person to see if they are using the right type of paint. One time i saw a kid bring frozen paint to the field and one of the refs saw that he was using them, he got kicked out and banned from the field. If you have a kid and worry about him/her getting injured due to people not understanding or obeying the rules, you won't have to worry about them getting injured due to some idiot not obeying the rules because other players on the field will watch out for each other.
2. Friendly staff, they know what they are talking about if you need any questions or suggestions.
3.Field size and different objectives for scenario games.
4.Annual scenarios(ive gone to pretty much all of them and each time it was a blast).
5.The air prices and deals are great for those markers that are air hogs.
6. Always friendly people there and staff alike
7. Its a great field for beginners and people who are just there to rent for a day. Experienced players and staff will always help someone new to the sport.
8. Food and water is great and always available.
9.Cleaning yourself off is easy after the game because they offer towels and water bottles.
(Cons)
1.Chrono needs to be more enforced in my opinion because its on a trust system.
2.Rentals need to be updated
3.How many PBS you can have is really pointless rule to enforce. If someone gets hit just don't light them up.
3.Walking back to respawn is just another way for players to recon the other team.
4.Paint is on the pricey side.
5.It's a Thiefs heaven in the setting up area, during a game some thief can easily walk around and take someones gear or a bag of paint out of their bag while they are playing.
Ive been going to this field pretty much since i started playing paintball and i love the field. Ive seen it change for the good and bad, but nothing drastic. Great field to go play on if you are in the area. You'll get hooked the first time you play there.

I live about 80 miles away and went on a whim, glad I did. While the field was extremely wet from the torrential downpour the day prior, the staff made it fun. Great scenario games and decent prices. Refs were great and very helpful. Due to cold weather we used winter formula balls that had a hard time breaking on contact. Very strict on safety and the owner was very nice. They definately went the extra mile to make sure that everyone enjoyed themselves. The layout was great, definately will make the journey back. |

| Review: |
We invited some friends of ours to come paintballing with us at Pearl River Paintball one day but when we got there nobody was there. So we all went to Paintball Command and there was a lot of people there. I did not play on the speedball course but thier woodsball course was very nice and they had a course that was half woods and half speedball. The people seemed to be very nice but the prices where crazy! I can get the point that Diablo makes very nice paintballs but not worth $80 for a box of 2000 field grade. I did not look at how much thier pro shop was but I am sure it was expinsive too. The refs are very strict about safety and try to make sure that everyone is following the rules. So overall this is a great course with lots of people to play with but just make sure that you have a lot of money. I give this course a 7 out of 10 because of the crazy expinsive prices.( I do not remember the exact date that we went there but I do remember that it was somewhere around the begining of 2009.)| Last edited on Sunday, February 28th, 2010 at 4:16 pm PST |

My home field Pearl River Paintball stopped accepting walk ons so we went to Paintball Command to try it out.When we got there there was about 40 other players there so we joined in on the scenario game they were playing. The prices are outrageous 80$ for premium and 70$ for standard paint. Also the prices for things in the pro shop are jacked up too. The fields,safety,and enviroment were great just the prices are high. |

This place is great. Very knowledgable staff. Very strict on taking ur mask off in the non saftey area. huge woodsball field. (30 acres i think). A good small crossfield and a speed ball field. Ok pro shop. The owner come and personally gives you the saftey intructions. Good scenario games (like 11 of them.) great place to spend the day. Just got my new gun, i want to go test it out. |

Safety- Very good and great refs.
Hours Of Operation- Personally I like it better when they stay open late because I don't get up until 12 on the weekends.
Prices- Even though this is a very large field they do not have to jack their prices up 30 dollars and charge $80 for a box (2000 rounds) of paint.
Rules- Tolerable
Staff- This is what really gets me on a field is peoples personality and here almost everyones was terrible. Right when me and my dad got set to go for the first match the owner walks up to us and introduces himself to me and my dad. After that he tells us that most people think he is a prick. As we asked him what games where going on he told us one and we answered can we play on the other field and start a new game. His answer was "You go where we go or you don't play today." Now where I come from that is considered very disrespectful. So to you you owner This whole thing is because you didn't show me any respect so Treat people how You want to be treated.........
Other than the the fields where very confusing because they were so large I ended up getting shot by my team 12 times that one day..... |

| Review: |
I played in many fields in past 5 years or so and I have to say this is the best field I ever been to. It surpasses any other fields I been to so far as in any aspect.
Safety- this field was the most strict field I ever been to in terms of safety (good thing). There were refts between the staging area and game area making sure people had their safety gears on properly. The safety of this field is top notch.
Refs- wow, a field with refs that check people for hits. they did their jobs right and with good attitude. they werent one of those I know everything refs (which are most annoying). They helped me even though some of them couldn't answer my question by asking other refs themselves. they were definitely good quality refs that you can count on.
The field- The fields were nicely set with many different aspects. They had a speedball as well as woody areas. Not to forget the hybrid speedballwoodsball course. Their large(really big) woodsball field had many structures and bunkers that were well made and safe. also their chrono range was really nice set with plenty of space.
The facility overall- paintball command is very well built as in terms of facilty. They actually have running fauscet water!!!! (holy crap a running water and theres 2 of them). If you dont have any tools to fix ur gun, the guys in proshop will gladly lend their tools. there are plenty of tables and area to prepare your stuff as well. there arent many mudholes(yey lousiana) and parking space are plenty
Some other points are they have good prices on their stuff and have good equiptment (4500psi fills for once in my life). I recently bought a used pm6 from their shop and Im very satisfied with it in terms of price and service.
overall I advise the field to anyone i know who wants to have fun playing paintball |

| Review: |
Safety- 9/10- Overall they were very safe. They constantly had Chrono checks and made sure that everyone had the field paint that was required.
Fields- 9/10- I like how they have the Cross-Field separate from everything else but still close to everything. They could have had a more variety of different fields during the games. But overall fields were good.
Times- 8/10- My team and I wished they were open during week days and weekends but its not gonna happen. But im k with the times 8:30 to 4:00 or something like that.
Prices- 10/10- They are fairly good with prices and I think for only being open 8 days out of a month, I think they have to make paint a little higher price than usual. They are fair about it!!!
Rules- 10/10- regular rules, same as usual, but they mix it up sometimes to some players advantages which isn't really fair for all of the noobs.
Services- 9/10- Sometimes the shop and Air station are crowded and people wait for a long time and sometimes miss the start of the next game because they have 3 guys back there and two of them are working on guns and the one that is there is filling co2 and it takes a really long time. But I can be understanding of that.
ProShop- 10/10- Very nice prices. They are always looking to help you get what you need and be happy with it. Sometimes you will get a deal if you get like a package with the gun, mask, exc.
Staff- 10/10- They are very nice. Mr.Charlie is awesome! Sometimes they will even come out there and play with you if its your first time and you really dont know what to do or even what paintball is.
Refs- 7/10- They are always being mean to the little kids who just want to have fun playing paintball, they will ask what game are we playing? And the refs would answer saying,''paintball!'' Everyones saying just shut up! They have fun in the end but still, they could be a little nicer.
Players- 10/10- Everyone I have played with has been overall fair, whether it has been at a tournament or at a regular day. Everyones been fair.
Facilities-10/10- Nice, There clean and air conditioned on a hot day in the summer.
Food-10/10- I mean its just food! But It's good.
OVERALL- 9/10- ITS A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY PAINTBALL. |

| Review: |
Safety - 10/10. Everyone is very alert for barrel plugs and mask use; if someone violates a safety rule he/she is immediately corrected. Every new player is given a safety lecture before they are allowed on the field. There are usually 2 mandatory chronos each day, and more if there are any issues.
Fields - 9/10. The fields are well-maintained, varied, and fun. My only beef is that they tend to use the small fields even when there are 60+ players, which makes things harder for everyone. But that's a rare occurrence.
Hours of operation - same as pretty much everyone else.
Prices - 8/10. A bit more expensive than most fields in the area, although they do have good prices on occasion (premium paint for standard prices when they have surplus from tournaments).
Rules - 10/10. Similar to the safety section - the rules are heavily enforced, and reasonable. The surrender rule is 15 feet, I think.
Services - I haven't had to get any repairs, so I can't comment.
Pro shop - 9/10. It's a bit small, but their prices are very reasonable.
Staff & refs - 7/10. The pro shop and fill station staff are great, but the refs do leave a lot to be desired. The refs don't always pay attention to what happens during a game, and questions aren't always answered with the best attitude. In addition, there is one particularly whiny, overly talkative player that knows all the staff and has tried several times to get the games tilted in his advantage, and the refs tend to let him have his way instead of telling him to shut up and play fair.
Players - 9/10. Usually a good mix of pros and newbies. For the most part, they're out to have fun and don't cause any trouble. Other than the aforementioned crybaby, I have yet to see any real problems caused by a player.
OVERALL - 9/10. I've played at the field several times over the past 3 years, and I keep coming back because the fields are great, the crowds are large, and the games are fun. I docked them a point because of the aforementioned problems. |

First, lets talk safety. The staging area is totally netted, the refs are very watchful, and so are the players. There will be a few people not paying attention, either going into the staging area with no barrel cover or a dude who takes off his mask in the shooting range, but the refs correct them immediately. Chrono is mandatory.
Safety: 10/10
Next, the staff. The refs are cool, and pay attention in the staging area, but are a little lacking when watching a game. I will sometimes see three or so standing in one spot. The owners are very nice and polite. The owner is a certified airsmith and can practically raise any marker from the dead, and for cheap.
Staff: 9/10
Now the prices. It's a little higher than I'd like (to be true I'd like it free; I can dream, right?), although the rest makes up for the price.
Price: 7/10
Let talk about the fields. The woodsball field kicks butt. There are two story bunkers everywhere surrounded by one story bunkers. It is absolutely HUGE. The trails for the most part are well mantained. The map is themed to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The cross-field is good (for a crossfield), with a hill on one side and a stream running through the center. The speedball fields are welll mantained and reffed.
Fields: 10/10
Summing it up:
Pros:
Cool staff
Best fields I've ever played at
top-notch safety
certified airsmith
HPA
Cons:
Price
Refs could watch the game a little better
Conclusion:
This is the best field I've ever been to so far. I recommend it to new players and experienced pros alike. Woodsball or speedball, this is the field for you!
