You are way off buddy. Most speedballers don't spray and pray its the ignorant people like you and other woodsballers who don't know the game of speedball that think that. Speedball has to do with aiming straight, being able to see all angels and not getting blindsided. It takes just as much skill to play speedball as it does woodsball. To many woodsball people THINK they have almighty accuracy and can hit someone from 100ft away with one shot. They think just because the speedballers shoot fast they stink at paintball. Thats just stupid and ignorant to think that. My head finally stopped hurting from the stupidity of this post.

       Look, they're both fun, its all about opinion.

       Ever since i started paintball with my pump i have benn playing woodsball. Its very fun. Your watching from every direction just to make sure your not the next one sniped in the head and out of the game.  And as soon as you hear a shot you drop to the ground wondering if that shot was intended for you. Yes, of course it isnt like the adrenaline of a real war, but still, you know you have a "one shot, one kill" sniper watching your every step.But just a week or two ago, i tried speedball and it is just as hard and fast-paced as they say it is.

       Now speedball is another story, there are still tactic, just in another form. Instead of being stealthy, and trying not to be spotted and sniped, they are in the form of laying down cover fire for your front men. And running as fast as you can, not caring about if you are seen or not, to get behind a bunker and avoid getting hit off the break. Do you really think it is easy to sit behind a bunker, and lay down cover fire for your front men, while also trying to eliminate the opposing teams players.

      So truthfully, it is totally a opinion which is better, yes speedball is a much more tournament-style sport, and woodsball is not very much fun to watch. But it is totally different when you are actually in the action. If you really wanna know which is better then you should try speedball and see what you think.

       Me, personally, i like speedball more now. I think it is more fast paced and gives you an adrenaline rush. Your blood is pumping and your running from bunker to bunker. But thats just me anyways.

I'm gonna analyze everything wrong with this post from top to bottom: 1) Speedball is not for kids. In fact, that's why there are professional paintball leagues that play only speedball (x-ball, 7man, 5 man. etc.) 2) There is most definatley rhyme, and with rhyme comes reason. It may not be "tactical" but you have to think smart. That's why noobs who try to make run throughs get owned. 3) Full auto? Are you serious? Unless we're talkin' NXL, full auto is ILLEGAL. 4) 1000 balls... in 3 hours? It's harder to save 1000 for 3 hours than it is to shoot it. I use 1000 in 2 or 3 games. 5) If your players are so elite, why can't they play speedball? 6) Yes, you may have a ranger, SEAL, army dude, FBI agent and a special ops guy, but I'm a Space Commando trained at the Martha Stewart Academy for Intergallactic Warriors and Interior Design Specialists. First of all, aside from me being a space commando, that's a load of BS, and second of all, war is nothing like paintball. Every army guy that plays at my local field gets owned, and if you think you're any better, you and your "Elite Players" can bring you bi- pods, CAR Stocks and camo up to the airball field. See how long you "highly trained military specialists" will last. 7) When you only shoot 30-40 balls a game, that's not the intensity of the experience, that's just you sucking. 8) If woods players were the most intense, there would be a pro league for that too, right? Sorry, but stupid posts like this make me angry. So angry, I feel like going out and sniping my worst enemies from 400 yards using my brand new scope. And yes, I'm mocking you.

i dont really care about your opinions, but i would like to tell you to go **edited** yourself and shove it because you are treating a man who served our country in REAL COMBAT with no respect.  if they want to play like real combat, let them, it's called a scenario game.

edit: sorry for flying off the handle but i get emotional when people disrespect the ex military members that would be willing to die for anyone of us in real combat.
