A Look At All The Various Types Of Paintball Games
You Can Play
Gregg Hall
If you are into paintball or thinking of getting into it, there are
many variations that can be played. In addition to the simple choice of
playing indoors or outdoors there are also variants within each of
those genres. Despite the differences al of the games have a single
purpose which is to shoot your opponent before they shoot you!
Here’s a look at some of the more popular types of paintball games
being played today:
The first one we will have a look at is the old standby, “Capture the
Flag”. This is a takeoff on the game of the same name that many of us
are familiar with. The way the game is played is by each of the teams
trying to find and capture the opposing team’s flag while guarding
their own flag from being taken. Victory is achieved by getting the
opponent’s flag safely back to your base camp without being killed.
Another popular game is called “Elimination”. In this game the first
team to succeed in taking out all of the participants in the opposing
team is deemed the winner. This is a fun game, even if only one remains
standing his team wins.
Center Flag is a variation of the Capture the Flag game, in this
version the game starts with a flag being placed in a neutral area
usually in the center of the field, the team that is able to get the
flag all the way through to the opposing team’s end of the paintball
field wins the game.
Resurrection is a variation of Elimination except that in this version
players may resurrect or come back into the game at the designated
starting point once they are shot. This game is sometimes played in
conjunction with Capture The Flag.
The last paintball game variation we will look at is one sometimes
called “Just Plain Crazy”, also known as superman, total elimination,
and counterstrike. This extremely brutal version is played solo or on
teams and begins with each player or team at opposite sides of the
field. Next they rush to the middle of the field and begin firing with
the last person standing or the last person on a team winning the game.
This is usually done at the end of a round of paintball to get rid of
paintballs and expend the CO2 cartridges or empty tanks. You are not
eliminated with a single shot like in other variations, people quit due
to pain or from running out of paintballs or air.
