IF you could change one thing . . .

[Cow123]

Well, I guess in my perfect world, it would be fair, balanced teams. Lately every game I've played has been one sided.

I'm not sure how AO came to be such a large supporter of limited ROF... I seem to remember back in the day that Mags were known as the 'fastest'.

[turbo chicken]

i take back what i said ... about ROF ...

so the one thing i'd change is ... just more people at the field that play pump

$100 a case paint without "sponsored kiddies" was a lot more fun.... and had a lot less problems.

At least in memory, maybe time makes things better.

Mags quit being the fastest - thats what happened. Now AO supports mech only tournaments where mags can dominate again. If you "can't" (or won't, whatever) compete through technology, change the rules...

I already got rid of the one biggest annoyance, cheating kids, by playing pump for the past 3 years.

However, if we're talking pipe dream time...I'd like a more cinematic experience...and not one based on WWII either. Sometimes I get sick of the whole trees and pallets field, and just playing total elimination. I know it would be expensive, but I'd love to play at a really complex field, maybe part indoor and part outdoor. I'd like to feel like I'm in the movie Aliens, or in the game Resident Evil 4. And I'd like to have some goals besides just shooting people. When I've put together renegade games, we've had some of the most fun coming up with wierd game varients.

I think the attitudes are the worst part. I don't mind the kids with paintslingers as long as they stop shooting when someone calls out and don't bring the I'm God's gift to the sport attitude.

Maturity

that takes my vote. I guess it might be along the way of attitude, but in its own rank. stop having these brats come out and wave their weight (attitude) and money around. I use this phrase alot with this issue and it's all out dorky: "with great power, come great responcibility." If they can't control their gun and not respect the game and people, take it away.

Like there's a guy at my local field who has a stupid fast E-cocker, awesome guy and will appoligise if he hits you more then once and can make every new player welcome. one the flip side ther is a kid who is the equle and exact opposite whith his daddys dollars in toys. pretty much every week I have to get on to him about something that isn't even a stupid mistake/thing, it's him being... language I can't use here... and the manager turned him away once. take his DMC away, and all the people like him.

[JOESPUD27]

I would make it mech only.

If that doesn't float your boat, fine. Then I would say no battery powered loaders, Shake N Bake! Tippy cyclone feeds not allowed either.

Shoot whatever you want but you can only use a VL-2000.

Field layouts that promote more movement. I've played on speedball fields where everybody hunkers down and shoots a case, and I've played on games where eveybody still shoots a case, but the game is about movement and strategy, I love that.

I'd also like to give those guys who show up in blue jerseys to scenario games something else to wear.

[phizz]

I am usually a bushballer, and I wouldn't change a thing. The group of guys I go out with are a range in age from about 15 - 45, we all get along very well, honest, and nobody brags or insults other people about their markers. We get usually around 25 guys out, and play year round, yes even in the snow.

[Pacifist_Farmer]

Faster woodsball game turn around, and slightly shorter games, i.e. more games per day, not feeling bad for sitting a game to clean equipment, eat lunch, catch your breath.

I don't want to sit for a half hour between games, and I don't like waiting for a game to end cause I got shot in the first 2 minutes of a 30 min. game with no recycles.

[Lohman446]

Limited paint was fun (say XX amount of cases / team / tourney) . Added a bit of strategy - if you used a lot of paint early were you able to win late wtihout it? How much did you use / save to make finals?

[BeaverEater]

One of the big reason i quit playing was the fact that almost everyone at the local field whipped. I just got sick of it and decided not to play there, but the was the only good field that was close to me.. Cost really isnt that big of a deal if you have a job. Paintball is actually one of my cheaper hobbies.
