kinda, its really fun, you can avoid the rocks or use them but if you do your're pretty much stuck. but its lots of fun, its easy to hide but hard to find people. i think its a lot of fun, if we make small boundaries it gets really fast paced, lots of running. I can't compare it to any other terrain but i can say its a lot of fun.
it has a degree of challenge though, depends on the people you play

damn. there is a lot of crap to navigate. We let the wild corn/milo grow in our center field until it was about 6 feet high, then we mowed a giant maze in it. Imagine a giant square with a series of small circles cut in it, connected by paths. Its really friggin great from august until october. The best part is if you send two people in from opposite sides, they rarely choose the same path and will come out the opposite side without seeing anyone. You can also follow someone and not know it.

Hawaii
woodland area. bunkers placed in various locations. grass in some areas is knee high making it kinda hard to run through, but a good spot to hide. pretty fun
70-80 in the morning sunny(perfect paintball conditions) up untill about 12 or 1 pm
55-65 in the afternoon, moderate rain & humidity. Most of the time the fog comes rolling in and you can hardly see 20 feet in front of you. the fog effect is cool, but the rain and humidity makes it very hard to do play good (horrible conditions)

i play indoors D;
i'm like the only one here who does that.
well there is an indoor field about 10 minutes from where i live and i go with there with my friends almost every other week. its got 3 sections which all connect with eachother and they each have different stuff in them and they are named: war, western, and city, they have stuff in them that would relate to their names. its a good place to play though paint is pretty expensive ($90 for 2000rds of RPS Premium and you have to use their paint)
we can usually get about 10+ people on each team though, and we mostly play centerflag, attack and defend, and elimination.

I live in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Tampa Bay area is very flat, Any hills are probably man made. The climate is dry ... but we're moving into rainy season. Temp. in the summer can reach 100 or more. Mainly, though, it's like perpetual spring here, even in Dec. If we're lucky, we get two to three weeks of "cold" weather ... that means it may deep into the 40s or 30s at night, and be in the 50s and 60s during the day. Great place to live, and climate means you can play paintball outdoors almost year-round.
