girls, cheaper high quality paint, cheaper angels

I think it needs to get over the "my gun is better than your gun" business and just play the game.

Just my opinion

RPS paint for $10 a case.

i think lower paint prices would help, by allowing for kids to be able to play more often. we need a good video game game too, not the poor quality paintbrawl but a nice councel game featuring pro teams like avalance and iron men, and play like halo, only in arena's; look at what tony hawk pro skater did for skating.

Cheaper paint which would put this sport into the I can go play once a week and not be broke after a month.

I feel the game needs to get away from the, my gun can shoot 20 balls per second, and get back to the idea that every shot matters. When I first played 10 years ago, I can remember going through 100 to 150 rounds per day. Now people are expelling that much in about 3 minutes of play. I don't think that the price of paint is too much when you consider how much you are getting; I just think the way we play needs to be toned down. That would open up the game to a bunch more people, and make the community a lot better. I mean expelling upwards of two cases a day is ridiculous to me.

every person in paintball should have an Angel ....

oh ya

we need to change the fields so it doesnt force every player to shoot tons of paint. got news people the price of paint isnt gonna come down much we already have huge mass production. we have to rework the game itself so people dont have to shoot as much. that starts with field layout

[FeelTheRT]

rudy: sorry but i couldn't disagree more with what you said. Lets see some layouts what would force players to use less paint. I dont think it has anything to do with the layout. I've seen 5 on 5 games on 3 man field and 5 on 5 games on a 10 man field and niether forced any players to shoot less.

Guys face it. Paintball is an expensive sport. If you want to play, you pay the price. If you dont want to play it as a sport, just play rec and you dont have to shoot a half case a game.

While the responses for more girls in the game were a bit...short, they make some sense.

Half the population is not particating. Now there are a few reasons why this is so, having to do with some girls/women not being very keen on getting dirty/sweaty/welted up, there are a vast amount who do not mind. (A little rascal by the name of Capoeira comes to mind)

Who can change this? You and me, my fellow males. Invite your girlfriends and female friends for a freindly day of paintballin'. Be sure to warn them ahead of time of what they are about to engage in and see what happens.

Well I think those are fine and dandy ideas but what it comes down to is media coverage. Not the, "Today three boys violently attacked an elderly woman with paintguns." but instead more like a football or baseball annoucement, "Today Team So-So maxed out Team ? in the 5 man tournament in the new X-ball arena in San Diego. Joe Schome is live there with the story." We also need sponsors like Burger King or Blockbuster or something, not just inside sport sponsors(i.e. Kingman, AGD, Tippman, Worr, etc., etc.) Well, I'm digressing(sp?) so I'm just gonna stop and let it sink in. It's really a no brainer.
