Noob Power!

[don miguel]

today, where am i? ans myself played some speedball at BPS. I played w/ my new ss25 wich was flawless, (legit 18 kills) we played from 10 to 5. It was great fun. When I watched the noob games, they had some sweet tactics, they all hid behind the carwash and popped up when one of them said go on the count of three. everytime they popped up, they would take out 2-5 people. It was so cool, and we (advanced players) gave them props. Thier moves were sweet for new players. I took some good pictures of the action, as well as some pics from the day, check them out:

The field was all around great, easy to slide (w/ my new hybrid pants!) and the had nppl super 7 bunkers, nice. I had a god snake move, I dove into the snake, shimmied around the first bunker took out a guy behind it, I crawled to the end of the snake, and bunkered two new players, then i shot at a guy trying to bunker me, and we got each other out. 4 kills! conor whitnessed it too. Today was great and those noob moves were so cool, they made it better.

[behemoth]

you're an advanced player?

...you're not even an advanced life form.

[where am i?]

numbee hunting

2 people out in one bunkering
in atleast every game!!!!!

[don miguel]

you're an advanced player?

...you're not even an advanced life form.

yes, at BPS, they classify your skill by the gun you have (i know, it's a sad thing). I had an SS25, Halo v35, air, basically not a noob setup. yes I played advanced, it was a great day. How would you know if Im an "advanced life form" or not? Ive never met you before, I don't know how good at paintball you are, and you don't know how good I am. So it;s funny how you make these judgements with no evedence to back up your claims. good job, yes im an advanced player. mabe we could play someday and I could prove that to you.

[RRfireblade]

Cool moves ? If they tried that against any truly advanced players , I woulda bunkered the whole bunch of them at once. ;)


Oh , and stop calling it kills.

no they were not playing against advanced players, it was noobs on noobs. They had a cool tactics. and I will call it kills whenever I want, without your input. what do you call it that's so much better?

[RRfireblade]

It's an elimination . . . newb. :)

We don't kill people in paintball. :spit_take

[don miguel]

We don't kill people in paintball. :spit_take

I do. and i still like kills better. that's what alot of people call it.

I do. . .

That about sums it up. :rolleyes:

[etjoyride]

ih you call it a "kill" then you are just helping the overall thought of paintball as a wargame.

listen to Jay, He's smarter then you...

[FiXeL]

"Getting it on" against n00bs is no challenge at all... Playing against a team that has more skillz than you, that's a challenge and i'll take that anytime! The field you played at is pretty biased in deciding what players are "advanced" or not... The gun you play with doesnt make you a pro or noob.

I agree the field is wierd, they have "open/advanced" games, meaning anyone can play, and "rental" games basically noobs, plenty of them played open advanced with us though. BTW i wasn't playing against noobs, I was taking pics. Those newbs werent that bad at all, one had a nice facedive snake play. I respect them, theyre the future of paintball.

[jenarelJAM]

If you took off the halo and explained that your shiny new gun was a pump, I bet they woulda let you play in rec class. Although... it seems you don't have an "advanced" class. It's just "rental" and "everyone else." Which would explain how you "bunkered two new players." Around here we have designated games for rentals only, open class(rec), and then team scrimmages that a lot of times you can get in on if you ask. It's nice bouncing back and forth between rec and scrimmaging. Rec is nice to try crazy stuff (run through off the break anyone?), and scrimmages are nice to work on your technique, make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to, etc. Playing against first time rentals(unless they move up themselves) is stupid. As soon as you let out anything over 8 bps, they cower in fear, leaving you free to pick them off. You shouldn't be able to play rental class.

Also, if you had picked up anything on these forums, you'd realize that RRFireblade's been around paintball a long time, probably longer that you've been alive, and he pretty much knows everything. He's respected just about everywhere, not only for the great work he does, but for the way he treats people. I'm not that nice. I'll tell you you were rude straight up. To call an elimination a "kill" is promoting paintball as a violent sport, something that paintball has been fighting against since its birth. I haven't yet met a person who is shocked to hear the statistics on paintball-related injury. The public just doesn't know. It is our responsibility(yes, even yours) to promote a sport you like in a positive way, so that it won't be crushed by legislation from ignorant politicians. Think about it... What's more important to you? Calling it a "kill," or having restrictions placed upon the game.

You've got a Halo on a pump. :spit_take

Is that in case you have to pump at 30 BPS to bunker some noobz? ;)

With all the *****ing about weight, why would you add at the very least two pounds to the absolute top of your marker when you have no reason to?

I'm glad you had a good day of paintball though, it's days like that that keep us all coming back.

I just wish you'd at least make an attempt to grow up. I know you're only 14 or 15, so you're absolutely sure that you know everything already, but I assure you that you do not. The older you get, the more you will come to realize this.

The only reason people are busting your chops is because of how incredibly condescending you sound when you're talking about people whom at most you have six more months experience on.

[Desega]

D.M. also probably calls paintballs bullets and gets one kill per every 2000000 shots, come on D.M. its an elimination. Lots of people call it a kill because they hear players like you call it that. If they were to start speedballing they would quickly learn all the pc paintball slang like elimination, p'owned, bunkered, lit up, you know, the basics of real paintball terminology. I'm glad I'm far away from D.M.'s fields where people get killed every game. By the way, spice up your "war stories" :sleeping:

I'll second that! I had the chance to play against a team that had done a few NPPL events and placed about eigth, big news in a little town. It was 5 man speedball, the field set up was pretty similair to most supair fields (which is crazy cuz thats what the bunkers were). That game was the most intense speedballing I had ever done, we actually did pretty well i got an ELIMINATION (I play back, got one of the break), hit my second bunker and was starting to get cocky when I got bunkered by their left front guy, the end score was them with 2 players left, us, zilch. But it was a blast and after the game they walked us through some basic drills they used in their playing, which was way cooler than just giving us props.

btw// They used their backup guns. E-spyders and all that jazz. One was rocking a RTpro

first of all, about bunkering new players, it was thier choice to play in the open/advanced round where bunkering was allowed. The could have just stuck to the rental games, but they shot at me, so I shot back. And BTW whoever said to stop making paintball sound like a "war game", needs to quit, because that's what paintball obviously is. WGP is Worr games products. I know the Worr is a pun off of Orr (budd Orr) and Worr is a pun of war. Think about it! 't you see, paintball is a war game, if paintball wasn't a war game, we would be throwing paintballs at each other instead of shooting them out of guns. Why do we call it shooting? dosen't that have alot to do with guns? mabe we should call it eliminating instead. And since paintball is a war game reguardless of what you want it to be, I will say KILLS, SHOOTING, and anything else that keeps paintball the way it was meant to be. Say elimination if you want, go ahead.

[cougar20th]

bps decides on your skill level based on the gun your using. thats stupid. i guess i wont be bringing new players there that are using my equipment. its common for me to let a friend thats never played use either my angel or my excal. those are my loaner guns. i would not want them thrown in with experianced team players for thier first games. everywherre else i go i just tell the refs that they havent played and they are put accordingly even with my equipment. probably helps many of the local places recognize me from playing there.

Obviously, someone doesn't know how paintball started.
Secondly, you whine when your flamed and then do the same.
Thirdly, are you one of those guys who tries to say we're evil and support war because we uh...lets find a word...oh! propel spherical projectiles at each other at speeds ranging from 250 fps to 300 fps?
Fourthly, If you don't like what we say about you, don't go feeding the fire
Fifthly, If you are so out-of-it to think that paintball is a war game then you need a reality check. That's like saying hunting is murder and that's just stupid.
Sixly, Before you go off and make another flaming post about you being flamed remember who start the "which is better triangle or don miguel?" thread.

Boston Paintball has 3 basic categories for the players there on most days,
Rental
Intermediate
Advanced

Unless Theres only a couple of people there that day they will always cycle those games. So if you bring a friend and loan him a gun he would have to play in the Intermediate no matter what gun you let him use.

[iambored]

This field sounds pretty stupid. Forcing a player into a game based on their marker?
That's like sticking the best player in the world in a game filled with newbs because he had a rental.

[Desega]

Don, once again we return to paintball termanology. A "gun" is infact called a paintball marker, we shoot paintballs at 250-300 fps, not the speed of a bullet. A war game in paintball would be a scenario game. Whens the last time you read a story about a five on five speedball style gunbattle in Iraq that ended with everyone still standing, just painted up a little? Woodsballers even know that there is a difference between paintball and war, so stop eating stupid for breakfast if you EVER want to be treated like an advanced player. Anyone who is advanced enough to know the game would know enough to use the right wording when talking about the sport.

btw// Paintball=sport
War=War

BPS has a rep around here of being the place you go to be a jerk and completely tool on other players. The type of place "pros" would go to lite-up renters for the fun of it.

While not 100% true, the above is the way most people I have talked too think of it.

They are also notorious for saying anything they need to say to sell you anything.

#1 You are what we call a noob, which is slang for a new player that doesn't know to much about paintball. You happen to have some high tech gear that you neither deserve nor understand. Your friends and you are basically one step above those kids at the field that you saw.

#2 Noobs call ELIMINATIONS "kills". Your insistance will be considered a admission of noobishness.

#3 You are arguing with people who are so much more experienced than you, that their brains function on superior oxygen that you are unworthy to breath. This is frowned upon in most social organizations as is cannibalism.

Are you serious?? did you honestly mean that when you said it? Paintball is not a war game! if you really want to get technical about it in all reality it is classified as a "shooter Tag sport" not a WAR GAME, war games are what the Military uses to train their soldiers for actual battle.

we would be throwing paintballs at each other instead of shooting them out of guns. Why do we call it shooting? dosen't that have alot to do with guns?
Actually Paintball started with something called a "paint marker" from the very beginning, They were originally used to "mark" cows that were going to be sold by "shooting" them with a "ball of paint" hmmmmmm.......where did we get the term paintball I have to wonder??? why do we call it a marker again??? it couldn't have had anything to do with where the paintball marker originally came from could it????


And since paintball is a war game reguardless of what you want it to be, I will say KILLS, SHOOTING, and anything else that keeps paintball the way it was meant to be. Say elimination if you want, go ahead.

The way it was meant to be??? The first real game of paintball ended with the winner having never fired a shot. the only reason they used markers to begin with was for a visible marking system to indicate that one person had eliminated that player form being able to "capture the flag" That's right Don, the first "real" game was one big capture the flag game. *well not the FIRST but the first game involving more than 2 people.* Is capture the flag A war Game? not that I know of. just thought I'd chime in on this, I am glad that you had fun this weekend, but please there is no need to be too ignorant when somewhen criticizes you.

Most sports if you think about it are some sort of tempered mock combat. We get to pit our skills against an opponent in "pretend fighting" and get to experience the thrill of victory, without killing or injuring one another. In that way it may be considered a combat game, but still a game nonetheless, no different than chess or football in that respect.

Oh , and stop calling it kills.

i bunkered a group last weekend with my pgp ... when they popped up I gave them my best banshee scream ... they cowered back behind their bunker and i surrendered all 4 ... but i felt bad afterwards they couldn't have been 11-13 uears old so i played with then the rest of the day ...

what flavor?

I'm going to go with a mango jerk marinade.

[Desega]

mmmm . . .mangos . . .

[warbeak2099]

I've actually never tried a mango jerk kind of deal but it sounds like it would be tasty. I mean, I like jerk and I like mango and they're both tropical-ish. So why not? It's my damn barbecue.

Obviously, someone doesn't know how paintball started.
Secondly, you whine when your flamed and then do the same.
Thirdly, are you one of those guys who tries to say we're evil and support war because we uh...lets find a word...oh! propel spherical projectiles at each other at speeds ranging from 250 fps to 300 fps?
Fourthly, If you don't like what we say about you, don't go feeding the fire
Fifthly, If you are so out-of-it to think that paintball is a war game then you need a reality check. That's like saying hunting is murder and that's just stupid.
Sixly, Before you go off and make another flaming post about you being flamed remember who start the "which is better triangle or don miguel?" thread.

yes, redundancy is nessicary(sp?)
Seventhly, you (DM) completely misconstrued my point about bunkering. I was saying that the only reason new players were there to be "bunkered" was because you aren't playing "advanced" class, but "open" class. You don't deserve advanced class.

/Lol, I didn't realize people noticed about that thread. I made it, watched it for awhile, and then got bored. Then I got a pm saying it was degenerating so I closed it.

It's a GAME.

A Paintball marker is NOT a weapon.
(Anything however, can be used as such, regardless of the intent of the design, product, item, etc)
A Scenario game is just that, a scenario.
You have no Idea what War is like, let alone a war game.

ok, I know everyone hates to read through long posts, but I dug up an essay on paintball - particularly the 2 paragraphs I posted here - that reflect on paintball history and why it is NOT a war game...once again, I apologize, but it is a good read, and DM's stupidity was hurting my brain.

///In order to properly address the issue, a basic understanding of paintball is necessary. Begun in 1981, the first game ever played consisted of twelve players using “marking” pistols developed for the use of marking cattle and trees by using carbon dioxide to fire a paint-filled capsule (Kennen and Kennen). Afterward dubbed “survival games,” the game of paintball consisted of marking or “tagging” opponents with the pistols to eliminate them, while playing a basic “capture the flag” game in the woods (Kloehn). The so-called survival games rapidly caught on with outdoor and hunting enthusiasts, and spread from that point. It is for this reason that many believe paintball is a “war game,” promoting violence and driving testosterone-fueled men to prove themselves in these survival games. Yet paintball continued to evolve and spread, encompassing more and more styles of play, and all types of people found a new addiction to this sport....

As far as the sport of paintball has come, a few still strongly insist that paintball is a violent game. As Ross Taylor states in his essay, “Paintball: Promoter of Violence or Healthy Fun?,” many believe paintball is played in a manner imitating war and influencing its players to violence (416). Any individual who loves the game of paintball will vehemently oppose this viewpoint. Paintball can be seen as a sport just as football and soccer are sports. The players on the paintball field do not play the game to actively inflict harm on other humans to indulge some primal need for violence. Rather, paintball has become a game heavily oriented toward teamwork, strategy, and communication (Taylor 415). Without these aspects, the game could not exist as it does today. Paintball can be just as much a mental workout as it can be physical. As Taylor states, “paintball provides strong mental challenge, mainly the need for constant strategizing” (415). The sport could very well be likened to an incredibly fast and physical game of chess. Moves and plays are planned out beforehand, yet strategy changes instantly in reaction to and anticipation of the opponent’s moves. Even watching a paintball game at the professional level, one can see the appeal of such a mentally and physically challenging sport, not to mention the fact that it can be very exciting to watch, as paintball is so unlike anything ever seen before."///

Let's not forget the rest of the definition,since this is ONE definition.

arm2 /ɑrm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ahrm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. Usually, arms. weapons, esp. firearms.

I don't believe paintball markers are weapons,although one could argue it..but as said above one could argue a shoe is a weapon, and they are not a firearm as seen here:

fire·arm (fīr'ärm') Pronunciation Key
n. A weapon, especially a pistol or rifle, capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant.

Well there are no arms being used, there is no warfare, and there is not two nations or parties within a nation. Teams do not count as parties in my book,not in the way it pertains to the definition.

So it is NOT a wargame.

so why don't you paint you face and go out there in full camies. call the other team the enemy, call your pod a magazine, centerfield the frontline, the tape the border, salute your team captain and call him sir, fall on the ground and scream for a medic when you get hit, carry your players off the field, bps bullets per sec, you get the idea.

DM omg you are either very stupid or very young. You should just learn to shut up. :tard:

I was in the Army Infantry and I'll tell you that paintball is not a war game. How many paintball tactics do you think they are using over there in Irag or Afganistan? Some Infantry moves can be used in paintball (woods ball), but in general combat tactics will get you eliminated in paintball and paintball tactics in war will get you killed.
Maybe its good for peoples ego to think that its a war game. It makes them feel tough and that they could hack it in a war. Dont pump yourself up with a silly fantasy. Go volunteer and do the real thing. Even the training is more intense and dangerous than paintball.

Oh and a paintball gun or marker isnt a weapon unless you hit someone over the head with it.

[Raven001]

I hate to agree with DM cause he's such a prolific twerp but he does have a point somewhere.

Paintball can be a war-game. Scenario games are just that. Whether they are between aliens and earthlings or N Koreans and S Koreans doesn't really matter. You are playing a game of war. Before we got politically correct and shed our cam’s and BDU's, we called our markers guns, eliminations kills, we flanked our opponents and captured the flag.

Now will paintball tactics work for combat? I'd say not because in combat, once you’re eliminated you don't get inserted in the next firefight so in that I agree with 11Bravo. However, paintball can be used to train for certain situations such as urban fighting and house clearing see http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/6_1_1.asp?id=1607.

Sure paintball guns can be used for training. Thats not the same as using the game of paintball to train for war. The tactics are not compatible. In basic training you wear hockey gloves and a football helmet during pugalist training. Does that make football and hockey a war game?

[Desega]

Perhaps, but only on wednesdays.

In Marine Corps training you also get cheap safety glasses and a red rider bb gun while you are getting mauled by 766 pumpmasters. I would've rather had markers. :p

Many of the same tactics and concepts in playing paintball will help down the road while training in the military. Just like team sports like the one you list also help both physically and mentally in that same training. Is there a direct correlation? I think not, just merely coincidence and ones perception.

When I play any kind of paintball, there are 2 (or more) teams shooting at each other, makingsomewhat of a warfare scenario.

war games are what the Military uses to train their soldiers for actual battle. once again the only reason paintball markers are even used is because it is visible marking system that allows you to see what/where you are hitting. it has its uses in training howver the parallels are
Paintball guns are not toys this is true, if used improperly they could cause serious harm, but so could most household cleaning items if used improperly. But even put that aside for now, My main question Don is this, when you play paintball do you go home when your done? cause you see when your in a war that doesn't happen, even in training you don't get to just stand up, sayy,"I'm done!" and walk off the battle field, war there's always the chance you won't be coming home, paintball its more likely to get injured in the car on the way to/from the field. Last I knew you aren't called up by the US Govn't to serve a term of 3+ yrs to play paintball.
now with that said I am going to go PLAY paintball, you see I gotta shoot one of my buddies who got an SL66 XSV Ego so I'm gonna bunker him with my mag.
you see if I used the term kill then that would implicate that I want my friend to die and as he's a friend of mine that is untrue. if you want to pull definitions out of you A** look up the defintion of "kill" and you might realize how your still wrong.
