Is that kinda like Siege?? you attack the other team's base?

And what is wrong with capture the flag? My two favorite woodsball games are center flag and the one where one team has a fort in the middle of the field w/ a flag and the other team has to capture that flag.

That sounds AWESOME!!!

how is this the wrong forum,, just cuz hes asking people to post their ideas..

anyways,, i just made a topic about this sugesting that we make a sticky where people come and post their missions that they have made up.

play terminator where one person suits up in like 293583 jackets and paints or clothpins a spot on their chest as a target. you play like 5 against 1 and the 1 being the terminator. the terminator can be shot unlimited times until they hit the target.you try to eliminate everybody before they can hit your target.

another game is fugative. 5 on 1 again but you take your playing area normally very big and you put 2 people between the fugative and his objective like somewhere to get to "escape" the other three start 300 yards behind the fugative. if he goes too slow then the people behind can catch up if he goes too fast the people in the middle can eliminate him. if you are the fugative and you shoot any of the 5 "cops" then they are dead and you get their paintballs.

another one of the more pathetic games we play is talon war. it speaks for its self we all have talons and we end up shooting at each other from like 10 feet away because talons suck and you have to practacally aim in the opposite direction to hit the other person

just a few of the games we play

i like the fugitive idea

the

We play a game called Predator.  Basically, one guy goes and finds a spot where he can hide.  The rest of the group goes and finds him.  You have to get him before he gets you.  There is a 10 minute limit.

Gettysberg does sound cool, reminds me of the Talon days with those crappy short tubes.

Have you tried playing at night? Play the same old games your familiar with but at night time. Just don't kill yourselves in the dark and give your eyes at least 1/2 hour to adjust. I would increase time limits if the game has one.

Yea... my friends suggested to play in the dark.. but we never got to acually trying it. That would be something new to try....

All these other games sound awesome, too! Thankx for the suggestions!!

Playing in the dark is awesome. It is very confusing and sometimes you will need to carry more paint on to the field. While playing in the dark you have to look for silouttes(sp?) and sound. Using sound gets confusing though because once you get so far into the game, everyone is shooting forward hoping to hit someone.

I would incourage everyone to play in the dark because it gives you a feel of what our Army forces our doing.

Another good game is probably one that most have already played.  Hostage rescue or rainbow six.  Two teams, one is the counter terrorist unit and one is the terrorists.  There are three per team.  Two terrorists and a hostage  (the hostage can't have a gun unless otherwise said), and three Agents.  There can be as many as Three hostage holding areas so the agents have to infiltrate each one until they find the right one.  The obvious object is to shoot the terrorists.  The big rules are; one agent must remain to escort the hostage back to the agent base camp, if the agents (good people) hit the hostage then they lose, the hostage cannot attempt an escape unless said otherwise before the game begins. 

Happy hunting!

survivor (i play this once most ppl have run out of paint/air except 1 person)

1 or 2 ppl gets guns and every1 else gets in a base. they ppl with guns have to stay in a certain area and the ppl in the base just run around gettin shot. i played without a shirt and got shot in the back-ouch

sounds fun

i like to play a little game called, "mutiny"

you get a bunch of people and split them into even teams

then get your friends on your team to pick out one person on the other team and inform everyone on the other team that that person is "it" except the person that is "it", they must not know they are "it"

then you commence play and whenever a designated person yells "MUTINY!"  everyone turns on the person who is "it" and they have to tag him once for every playter on the opposing team to win and the person who is "it" only has to hit someone once

you have to convince the person who is "it" that they are playing attack and defend or something like that

or you can just tell them someone else is "it"

What happens if somone gets hit? If the volocity is topped off, wouldn't it break the skin?

And what about Revolution: Its kind of like gettysberg exept that each team has to stand in a horisontal line facing the other team. One team shoots while the other reloads. The exeption is that your not out until you cant stand being hit anymore. To make it a bit more challenging, Each team has to be about 20-30 feet away.(Maybe 10, If your daring) Remember, one shot at a time.

Here's another Variation you can play ,,, called ,,

ALIEN Vs HUNTERS

you get about 10-20 percent of the guys you play with,,,, and make them "Aliens" No armbands or identifiers on them , the rest of the guys are "Hunters" , they wear something that identifies them as hunters , that is ,,, until they get shot by an alien , then they get a 20 second count (While tearing off the armbands and becoming an "Alien") .

If you start out with a few good aliens , you'd be surprised how quickly the games go , and it keeps most of the players in the game for a bit longer ! you can play with normal rules , one hit anywhere ,your out , or Gladiator rules ,(hit has to be in the torso for a kill) . Obvoiusly , the hunters get to play longer , because they get ressurected as Aliens again .

Nah the paint cant really pickup speed.  Its like throwing a loosely crumpled paper ball.  Not fast and not accurate and doesnt go far.  But no barrels in an enclosed space owns!!!

try this game called alien. its where there it like 1 to 3 aliens and everyone else are humans. when a alien shoots a human, that human becomes a alien. for a alien to die, a human has to shoot the alien 3 times. its a really fun game if u hav a bunch of peeps. try it!

...yea except our army forces get night vision.

on specialopspaintball.com they have a night vision sight for the tippmann a5

A field near me used to play a game called Tolerance, until they had to boot it. Basically, you don't call out yourself out when you're hit. You call yourself out when it hurts. It became unsafe (I think someone else mentioned something similar) so they threw it out. Fun though if you remembered your cup.

I tried to play a game called " 'Nam " (Vietnam) once. You take a few players, depending on how many are playing, and they are on the "Charlie" (as in "There's Charlie in the trees!")side. These players take the role of Vietnam snipers, and are given 5-10 minutes to hide and two lives. The other players take the role of the American Army. The trick to this game is for the snipers- you may want to pick some of the best woodsball players out of your group for this, otherwise it's too easy. The catch is that the snipers have to rely on camoflauge and sit perfectly still, and aim a good shot. There was a rule variance offered, such as whether the snipers could only do one shot or a few second burst. We played burst, since the snipers weren't overly skilled than the rest of the players. When the sniper fired at the other team, if he managed to get someone out he was awarded another life (some talked of an extra life per "kill," others said just per shot/ burst), thus making the role of him being a sniper a bit more justifiable. The other team had to keep moving at a steady pace in a single file line, and the goal of the movement was to run at first a circle, then a figure 8, then an hourglass, but I'm not sure if that even happened at all (too many interruptions to keep a clear head- kinda cool). The reason behind that is to change the angles on the field, and to make it seem like it was a larger plot of land with unfamiliarity. With good snipers, it's indeed interesting. It may be a little complex at first, but it does get pretty immersive. I only did it once and loved it.

*edit*

Just to make it clear, the sniper isn't supposed to act like he's playing an actual game. He's supposed to shoot for a few seconds, and if he isn't hit he shouts "Clean" and stands up. If he is hit, he shouts "Hit" like normal, and is supposed to shout out how many lives he has. The sniper then waits for the group to move on, then he re-positions himself anywhere on the field (can't squat right away and attack from behind, though). This keeps it immersive, and keeps the US Army team nervous. And the US team players only get one life.

The rule variations can get pretty messy. I'll try to clear some of them up:

1. Snipers-One shot or Burst?
   One shot is for pretty small groups, and its suggested the US only fire three shots. It is also ok if the snipers have a larger team (like 10 US on 5 Viet Snipers), or if the snipers have played for a while and can shoot pretty good. Generally, one shot actually means shooting three balls with a good time space in between. I'm not sure why they called it one shot (old school game from days of tubes, maybe?)
   Burst is when the snipers are heavily outnumbered, or are fairly new players. This gives the game a balancing ability, mainly because bad snipers will cause the game to end fast and be unenjoyable.

2. Snipers- One life per burst or per kill?
   This one is tricky- you should base it off of the first rule above. Playing with burst and a life per kill could unbalance the game. But, playing with life per burst and one shot could be difficult for the snipers. You really need to know the players, or you can try certain rules and adjust them based on the first time you play.

3. US Army- one life or two?
   Sometimes, in order to make the game last longer, the US is given two lives. This would mainly be for games where there are a good amount of snipers (5 US vs. 5 Snipers), or for games where a lot of n00bs are playing.

A good tip on playing Snipers is to finds good cover, sit still, and wait for a good distance. You don't want too far, but you don't want too close. You should fire (depending on rule variance) three times- either three single shots, or three short bursts before trying to call yourself clean. Shooting once and jumping up right away saying "clean" isn't fair, and deserves you to be debunked a life.

The US players need to sweep the area as they do a light jog- keep your eye trained close on the area in front of you, and turn slightly off to your left and right continuously. When you hear fire, turn and shoot at it WHILE moving towards cover. Don't just take a kneel and try to shoot, thats what gives snipers lives. You need to be nervously cautious, but don't get too jumpy, else you may be firing at people-shaped trees (I did this constantly) and letting the snipers know how far away you are. Don't be surprised to find two or more snipers in one area- keep your eyes peeled and trust everyone else in the group is.

I know it sounds like for playing it once I know too much about it, but my buddy kept telling me about it, and telling me about it, etc. When we finally played it once, he started to shy away from paintball. He hasn't played for three years now. Oops- sounds more like scenario than woodsball. I'd like to play it again sometime...
