In this day and age, we have a lot more people posting in the wrong forum. Thats the biggest difference.

It now looks...uh... extremely fun? I just started playing this year, sooo... I'd think I would've enjoyed paintballing rather than playing BroodWar two years back anyway.

Well now that this is in the right forum, I guess i'll post.
A TON of things have changed in the past 2 years, and several were for the best.
In my opinion, nppl changing its format from 10 man to 7 was by far the best thing ever, I just really love 7 man, its the best number for truely competative play. This year being the first season of xball also is a new exciting thing to the world of paintball, seeing as how not everybody even knows how it works yet.
Mechanical markers pretty much disapearing from competative tourney play is also a pretty big change, only time I've seen a mech cocker in a mag was being used by a couple guys from team pinacle woods, and I don't expect to see them using them for much longer either.
So many new markers have been released, and redesigned and such. The Matrix for instance is one of the best markers out there amongs everything else, and the Angel is actually falling behind the Matrices, Intimidators, and Ecockers. Eblade is another huge thing for the world of paintball, and mainly the world of wgp, their markers are coming right back into the tourney scene with the release of the eblade last year, its making our belovid cockers that shoot so great, nice and speedy, and just great for tournament play, just like they were a few years ago.
The EvolutionII and Halob are also bringing paintball to a new level, with people reaching such extreme rof's than ever before possible.
The only thing that I don't think has changed (not to mention all the things I didn't list) are tanks, there really isn't much more that can be done, the geddon', and conquest tanks are still great, and their design really hasn't changed much at all.
I may list more later, if i'm in the mood.

lol i was talkin bout him tryin to test his revvy.. the revvy can handle 1 bps.. so 13 isnt really testin the gun to much, all u would b doin is testing the hopper... just like if i turn my ty e99 to full auto, (13bps) with a revy.. it prolly wont chop anymore then ur 600$ gun :eyes:

No.
Most angel techs recommend you set your MROF to 11 if you're using a rev. 13 is pushing it.

Hmmm wow, lets see if your going to buy the Angel used why not the Timmy used? You can get a 2k2 with a WAS and other things for 7-800. Great comparison.

I have to agree with you man. The newer markers, loaders, and just overall faster set-ups are making ROFs of 16,17,18,19, and 20 bps possible for players. Xball is going to be fun to watch AND play, and I'm sure that in about 5 years, Xball will be the main tournament format for the World Cup, Millenium Cup, and other big tournaments around the world. Paintball is also becoming a mainstream extreme sport (in my opinion) by coming on T.V. and getting more participants, even if they only play once that's better than not playing at all! If they like it but can't afford it\couldn't play that often would tell their friends to play and how much fun it is. I believe that paintball has changed for the better over the past 2 years (when I started playing I was 11- I'm 14 now and I've kept up with it for the entire time) and we're going to be seeing more great changes in the years to come.

Actually, from what I have heard from teams around me..... X-ball is just as boring as everything else except for when a team needs to score points really quickly. Just what I have heard though.

Go slit your wrists.
Angels are more advanced than any gun on the market. Period.
Timmies are faster than any gun on the market. Period.
If you need to shoot more than 16bps to hit your target, I feel sorry for you.
I've had a timmy AND a angel, and may I say, the only thing the timmy has on the angel is the eyes, and thats not even saying much.

God, I have owned just about every high-end marker there is with the exception of the e-bladed cocker. I have done this to learn and in my opion I did just that. I just sold my timmy a few eeks ago and am now shooting an Adrenalin Angel. I can honestly say I'm going to stick with that. Timmies are very very fast I definately agree but I find them to be unbalanced and to be long bodied. Angels are the pefect size and shape and hitting 13-15 bps is all anybody will ever need after that its just a waste of paint and don't tell me that I'm wrong I have been playing tournaments for a long time now I know what I'm talking about.
As far as the firstl post goes. Mech markers are GONE period, cocker kid was definately right about that. Numerous newbs I have met seem to prefer an e-spyder over a mag or cocker just because of the rof it can achieve. Besides that the game has not changed to much the technology faze should be over shortely followed by a long period were we all work on our skills once again...... I miss the good old days back in 2000 when you could buy an STO cocker and it would be top if the line, you would be pretty much set.

You know nothing at all. Period.
You think you know everything. period.
Show me a gun as advanced as a angel(internals wise) and sure, I'll believe you, and please, dont tell me that the intimidator, or cocker(eblade or mech), is more advance :). Although, I know, from a very reliable source, that there is a marker coming out before christmas that could revolutionize the way you look at a paintball marker, I'll try and provide more info on this as it develops.
And the timmy IS THE FASTEST on the market. Put WAS on, and go trigger bounce happy like a cheatin' fool, I've seen 26ps(with paint), its truthfully insane.
And may I agree with espirit in canada, the timmy is a very 'high standing' marker, like the imp. I mean, they are GREAT markers, by all means, but just to much of a high profile for me.
Just becuase you have a matrix doesnt mean you know everything :)
... well, doesnt mean I do either :D .
(I dont know much about the x-mag, so I honestly dont know if that is more advanced than the x-mag)

You didn't actually just type that, did you??? :rolleyes:
Part of my responsibilities is to close threads that go off topic. So far, there are about 10 posts in this entire thread that even brush upon the topic. Someone comes in here and wants to read about how paintball has changed recently. Instead, they get a ton of people arguing over what gun can shoot faster? Good lord! If only there were other threads on here that discussed that!! :rolleyes:

Matrix shoot pretty damn fast, and so do timmies. I also highly doubt any of you are sustaining much more then 13-16 bps shooting and if you are congrats but alot of people are shooting alot slower then they think they are.

Don't you think that 7-800 is alittle to much to pay for a really nice e-spyder. Cuase thats all a timmy really is.

You really have never seen the internals of a spyder or timmy have you. So keep your mouth shut till you have.

I've seen 28 w/paint done on an A4 so :p
(yes a Halo will feed this fast in bursts)
Also, a timmy dosen't work like a spyder. If a timmy works like a spyder, so does an Impulse and Bushmaster. The way they operate is nearly identical. I have owned a spyder, timmy, and impulse, so if you haven't owned and completely taken apart all 3 you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

only 1/2 the page long sing, good lord.
But yeah, Timmies are pretty much very, very expensive impulse's with neato milling.
But these days its pretty tough to try to think up new designs for markers.
