Tips On Scenario Paintball Games

Paintball is not only about shooting opponent players with paintballs. It is about performing specific tasks during a specific time without getting shot.

Welcome to the ever increasingly popular scenario paintball tournaments. This type of paintball games lasts for about 12 to even 36 hours. All the participating players are divided into two teams and each of the teams have specific tasks to perform.

The participants too have their own role as individuals. The instruction cards are given to players and on-field referees judge when a player completes his task and awards him points. Winning a paintball scenario games depend on the level of cooperation among the players and not on the individual expertise though a few expert players in the team obviously help.

Good equipment is the key to winning scenario paintball
Scenario paintball is a lot different than ordinary paintball tournaments. This difference calls for different strategies and introduction of new equipments that will help players to gain advantage over opponents.

Other than standard equipment like paintball masks, markers squeegees, hoppers, etc. there are other bits of equipment that become absolutely essential...

Since the playing area is often very large, communication between the players of the same team is necessary to launch a coordinated attack or fall back and defend. A walkie-talkie or a two-way radio is of immense importance in this sort of situation. Good communication will definitely give a tremendous advantage over the other team. Costumes must not be so rigid that it hinders a player from crouching or so heavy that it hampers quick movement. A global positioning system is a handy prop in a very large field. A flashlight is very helpful in darkness.

The novelty...
Competition determines winners from losers. In scenario paintball, however, there are no losers. The spirit of participation and rapport that is developed among players is rewarding enough.

There are various types of paintball scenario games like the single day, 24 hours, mission oriented, etc. Single day paintball is relatively simple and easier to play. The games are usually 8 to 12 hours long and are played normally in daylight only.

The single day scenario game has two varieties: the mission oriented paintball and the big game paintball. Mission oriented scenario paintball is very popular. Here the day is divided into mission periods where the tournament producer gives the map and written instructions to the leaders of the two teams. Each mission is given a definite time period followed by a break. Two teams are directed to perform two opposite tasks like capturing a fort and defending the fort.

The winner earns points.

The single day big game is simple and popular. The two teams are given control over each half of the field. There are a few strategic points in the two half. The team that captures these posts wins.

The 24 hour scenario game is very complex. Here a lot of role-playing is involved and the presence of spies makes the game very interesting.

Scenario paintball is one of the most fascinating and thrilling games ever conceived.
