Paintball is a game that would require the whole team’s effort, tactical skills and team work. Over the years, paintball has gone from ordinary to extreme.

There are also paintball competitions sponsored by the different paintball-oriented companies which identifies the best paintball team.

The following are some stuff that Bedlam’s Paintball Aberdeen would like you to know about playing paintball

Playing The Game

You may play the game as an individual who would join a random team or you could bring the whole gang. Your team’s main objective is to catch or tag the other team’s flag while shoot your opponents who would attempt to capture your team’s flag. As expressed earlier, the game would require the best skills in combat tactics and strategies, especially teamwork for teams. This is primarily the reason why corporate groups and companies prefer this game for team buildings or company outings. The game not only promotes teamwork and camaraderie, it could also build a relationship or bond that could be very beneficial in a workplace.

Game Zone

paintball AberdeenThe play site can be a vacant lot or a custom-made real-life scenario, depending on the locations offered by the paintball game zone. Paintball Aberdeen, for instance, has developed different play sites to suit its customers gaming appetite. The game zones could be a warehouse, a jungle, or a huge lot with artificial terrain that players use for cover or offense strategies.

Game Preparations

Before going on a day of paintballing, preparations should be done and proper planning is advised. Booking in advance should be considered. It is a good way to avoid any problems that the group might encounter such as the team being divided if the facility is full, or not being able to play on the game zone that your team wants because it is already fully booked.

Practical Tips from Paintball Aberdeen team:

It is best that if you have a huge team of players, book in bulk. It is likely that the team will get a lower rate than teams showing up the same day who are buying individual bags of paintball. Your team will not just enjoy the thrill of firing in all directions because of the numbers of paintballs you have, but will surely enjoy the cheaper rates that the paintball company has to offer because of the bulk booking that you made.

Lastly, it is a good practice to communicate with the paintball center or staff before playing the game. There might be some rules and regulations that players would need to follow while playing paintball. These rules might include proper attire and gear, attitude and behavior in the field, and company codes and conduct that players need to abide to.

Most people are hesitant to try paintballing because it hurts; And yes, it does hurt! However, it’s not really that bad. It’s like a snap of a towel sting, and that’s just about it. The pain is very far from breaking a bone or getting a tattoo. Just relax and enjoy paintballing.

Bedlam’s Oxfordshire paintball team provides this short course about moving up in paintball.

“Come on move up!”  When you happen to hear somebody shouting that on while you are playing paintball, they’re not trying to live up a World War Two moment; they are actually trying to help you out. A crucial factor in winning a paintball game is to Move up on the field. However, we do understand that this game is played on field that also has X and Y boundaries. Now, it does not take a genius to tell you that if the field is only so large, whichever team owns more of the field is going to be victorious and that is what moving up does or more correctly that is what effective moving up does.

What you are doing when you are moving up in paintball is that you are taking angles away from your opponents. Another reason why we do moving up is that it allows you to gain angles for your team, you are taking more real estate for your team and quite frankly, it is players do agree that it is a lot more fun to move up than to just hang back all again.

Oxfordshire paintball: How far do you have to Move up

Obviously you should not just go sprinting up the field, unless it is in extremely extraordinary circumstances. But a couple of rules of thumb; the first is, if nobody is shooting at you, chances are nobody has spot you.

It is also nice to try to keep the three second rule in mind before you move up and that is “how far can you move in three seconds?” They say that it takes around three seconds for the opponent to see you, so what have to do is to bring the paintball gun as you start moving up there and start shooting; that is if they are not looking at you.

However, if your opponents are looking, what you have to do is to give yourself some cover fire. That means, before you go out there, you should shoot paintballs at the opponent to make him duck for approximately two to three seconds. That will probably be enough to at least buy you around two to three seconds. That is enough time for you to go out from your bunker and move up to the next.

Another opportunity for you to move up is when nobody can see you. If you are playing in a paintball field with very high grass or thick tree cover, or any type of field where you can you think you can get the stealth advantage take it.

There are times that when players are moving up into a new bunker, they sometimes find out that it is the worse place that you ever really wanted to be. Instead of hiding there and wait for the game to end, make the best of it.  In any circumstances, NEVER stop in the middle of nowhere and begin figuring out what options you have. Just go all the way, and do not stop.

In some instances that you don’t feel it is right to start moving up. For example; when you know that two or more opponents are shooting at you, which is definitely not a good time to move up. This is the best opportunity for you to talk to your team about those guys hitting at you are and then they can flank.
