i dont care where i play, as long as i get to play. Theyre both good in their own ways, and i like to play them both.




A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.

Woodsball, takes skill to play speed ball..But it takes alot more to be in the woods and hunt others down.

Im a sniper, so I single out people and laugh when they say "What, were did that bloody come from"

Depends on what type of speedball and woodsball.

Speedball in general is a blast, with adrenaline pumping and paint flying. Its all about communication, shutting down lanes, and laying down some paint.

Woodsball in general is slower moving and requires being stealthy and maintaining communications over vast amounts of land. With a good radio system up and running your team does great.

Some people consider Scenerio's part of woodsball but I put it in a class of its own. Most of the time theres an exponential amount of people in a scenerio compared to woods/speed. There are objectives to complete and roles to play.

All in all I play woods the most, but each is important to the growth of this sport.

 Yea I like woods, because its all about stealth and trying to sneak around your opponents in speedball and hit them from behind is, well, very difficult in a closed area

i like both, but i like woodsball more.  speedball would be fun if i had enough money to buy more than 1 case of paint each time i go.  sure i can get by shooting 1 shot at a time, but its not fair when im getting hammered at 12bps.  woodsball, i feel, is based more on skill and teamwork.  it is a slower game, but it heats up and its more fun for me.  i do also think speedball is based a lot on teamwork though, just not as much skill. 

that of course is my opinion after playing with 11 year olds with thousand dollar guns their parents bought them and unlimited paint that cant aim for crap and rely on their ROF to make a hit.

Tactics, my friend. You have a big open field. You have trees to hide behind. A vietnam/WW2 experience.  Speedball is horrible to compare on the basis that you have to hide behind giant marsh mellows, and you cant hide with camo. Woodsball Rocks!

The combat is always people caught off gaurd or shooting at each other from behind cover/manuvering. Put me on speed/woods/scenario I will have a good time with all.
Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken!
