Review of Camp Pendelton Paintball Park
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Against the advice of two of my teammates, I decided to play at CPPaintball today with my dad. I must say my friend's are great at giving advice. When we first got there, we were a bit early, and they didn't let us sign up so we woudn't have to worry about it later. After we do get admission paid for an hour later, we grab out tanks to go get them filled up. The max PSI they can fill up to is 3,000, so they fill up the tanks. Thats when i realized that my tank was only filled to 2500, so I kindly asked the ref to fill it up to 3k (It wasn't his fault, I guess he was new to filling tanks). After that, we geared up. Thats when I noticed that my dad's Halo B wasn't working. I asked the front desk for a philip's head screw driver to fixed the Halo. Low and behold, they didn't have one small enough (the biggest one looks like a screwdriver to disassemble an Abrahm Tank). So we waited in line to rent an electronic hopper. They charge 6 dollars to rent the hopper; it was a Ricochet AK. For those that do not know what these hoppers are, they are hoppers with no neck sensors. Instead they have a motor with 4 blades that are flexible, and they continually spin. After that, I remembered that I forgot to get macro from a friend's house. So I asked them how much it would be to for macro, and i told him what's the cheapest route? He told me to get maro from the ASA to the valve (6 inches) would be 3 dollars! I know to some this might not be extreme, but it costs 1 dollar for a foot of macroline from -=Squid=- from AO. So I asked him to run macro from the ASA to the valve, around the grip (10 inches) He charged me $5. Since my dad and I had an Automag and a Viking, we had to play advanced group (Which is what I always play, but my dad wanted to play Beginners). We played speedball first. Then a woodsball course, which really got me to thinking. We are the ADVANCED group, not Beginners. After that we played speedball course again, then me and my dad just decided to go home. After all the fuss though, the person at the fill station gave my dad a free fill. I rated this field a 4 out of 10 in service, and a 6 out of 10 for fields. My advice; if you're in the So Cal area, Velocity paintball (http://www.velocitypaintball.com) or SC Village (http://www.scvillage.com) are your best bet for playing. They both have supreme service and very nice fields.
