How paintball should be portrayed

[vasmir]

Man, I havent been here in a while

Yeah, I read some of the posts from the past while, and I'm wondering what the majority of you think.

[vasmir]

like theres a lot of you guys here who cant stand the camo and all of that stuff. You don't like milsim markers and all of that.

Just wondering what the majority of you guys think

[Sniper15]

I like both styles of play, I like woods and camo better but thats completely my opinion. I don't play "just" woods or "just" speed, it kinda just depends on the mood I'm in.

"that's not what paintball is," dude, have you forgotten, the woods is wear paintball began...

[The Slacker]

I think paintball is so much better when you play in a wooded environment. Not really any reasons for what I say, except that it's just that its more realistic in comparison to real warfare (not that it should even come close to real war...)

[Rancid Coleslaw]

Both styles. Some people like woods, some people like speedball. Both are part of paintball.
And I can't stand people who flame others for liking a different style of play then they do. It's embarrassing.

[Canadia_PBaller]

Never tried woods, Speedball is good, but it's not like Dirtbikers make fun of each other because one races moto, and the other is freestyle.

[MrBo]

i like both styles of play. Speedball is a little more fun than woodsball tho, just because woods can sometimes be alot of walking :( but woods is an easy way to play if you cant make it to the local field, and always great to have just your buddies playing.

[Vaypourus]

I almost see the sport eventually separating into 2 completely different kinds of sports; both are paintball, but are very different (like road biking and mountain biking).

As the time goes one, people are becoming very one sided in thier choice of play.

well, im not trying to diss it or nething becasue paintball played anywhere is good paintball....but its so dumb u minus well go to the army try ur luck there or play air soft....i mean i have done both and i hate woodsball that where army started..paintball just had to follow becasue of lack of technolagy at the time or i bet speedball would of bee ninvented first...the concept of speedball seems so much more sportier. i mean what sounds better...5, 7 ,10 minute games with constant fire. players screaming to the own with stradegy.....marking out the hole field or a 45 minute lilttel army game where u try to be silent...and get eat up be bugs......

where do i even begin???
I dont have the time or the energy to argue with this guy, i think ill let some other people...

[MrTiggleBitties]

I love Speedball and Woodsball. But I like Speedball a little more because the game is always going on, and not waiting for like 5 minutes, laying in the dirt waiting for somebody to come up to you. But Woodsball is good because if I dont feel like paying for admission because that means less money for balls, Ill play some woods with my friends.

[E r y k]

i hate how its portrayed

i just hate it

my mom thinks is violent...

im buying an HPA tank and she doesnt support me at all, shes like what a waste of money, its a violent sport.

and shes like if you get HPA your going to waste your time on it all day...

like wtf? what is there to waste time on HPA? its just a damn tank...

it just pisses me off soo much.

[Cuervo]

Woods is where paintball began.

War is where most sports began. When Ray Lewis kills Terrel Davis to bring him down for a loss (fine, bad example), that argument is going to work.

Roots can be abandoned. In this case, they NEED to be abandoned.

[Blacksheep]

Paintball was initially a bunch of hicks marking cattle and trees...therefore, the vandals are the ones that are keeping the tradition alive.

[expresstruck78]

i have to add my 2 cents to the pile

my mom thinks is violent

when your mom tells you it is violent ask her what sport is not. a baseball player gets hit with a pitch and goes up takes the pitchers head off, football is violent i would rather be hit by a paintball then a 300lb linemen, and a hockey game is violent all around so all sports are violent in there own way.

War is where most sports began.
you are very right lacross was started by a Indian tribe as a way to sharpen their skills for war.

just my 2 cents i am now broke

Sooo true. I have played both hockey and lacrosse (yah I'm Canadian) and they are waaaaaaay more violent, and you can get hurt way worse. A hockey puck to the arm at 50mph, or a lacrosse ball in the hip at 130mph hurts a lot more than a paintball. Now to the guy who said his mom thought paintball is violent, she most likely thinks it's more violent because you use a object that closely resembles a firearm. Remember she is only trying to protect you, and do a good job as a parent, but try to educate her. Education is the only way to be tolerant.

Can we say type-o TM pro TC

[Six Feet Under]

I voted for Option #2 simply because that's my personal belief on half the matter. The other half of me believes that it's like the blacks and the whites- just accept what the other "people" are doing, and try to do your best with what YOU do. Don't spend all your time trying to change the woods players into arena players, because it makes you look like a jerk. The same goes for woods players to arena players. Everyone just be respectful towards eachother instead of "I'm better than you are", or "My gun shoots 20bps, your Talon only shoots 20 balls per MINUTE. HA! Like YOU could ever snipe me out!" Because you know what? It could happen.;)

[Lokichi]

Paintball is paintball......how can you people even waste your time debating over something so trivial..................:sleep:

[bildo]

i love sniper ball, where everyone gets thier 98C and flat lines.. and put thier 40mm red dots on em, and we sit on hills, and try to snipe each other out... :rolleyes:

haha jk woodsball isnt bad.. sometimes u just need that mellow-nis of it.. when ur lazy, play woods.. when ur hyped up on adrinaline, play some speed.. makes sense ;)

[gone...]

really its whatever floats your boat. and water floats mine.

[FireViper]

All I have to add to this thread is this

Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

[Digital]

I vote for Option 3.

I think Paintball should be seen as it really is IN BOTH FORMS! Everyone is entitled to there own opinions on both forms but neither form is going anywhere anytime soon and that both forms provide different game styles.

TM "pro" TC

I have a very hard time with your statement. How do you come to the conclution that one is better then the other? As others have said, they are totally different styles and saying one is wrong and the other is right is well, dumb... No ignorant (politically correct word). But, your entitled to your opinions as am I.

[Sudden Impact]

who cares what others like or dislike? just do your thing and stay out of everyone elses business...

but

there is one thing most of you guys are gonna have to realize...paintball is a milsim sport...no ifs ands or buts...you shoot projectiles and other people...to eliminate them...

I THINK everyone needs to quit trying to make it politically correct and enjoy the sport...
