NXL on ESPN2

[rpm07]

I am watching it now. I want to reach through the tv and choke the announcers.

[diaper eater]

is it true after 3 pulls they are allowed to do full auto in the nxl, my buddy just told me that, and i think its bs but i DID just see a guy on tv shootin good n fast and it looked like his finger wasnt moving

yep but guns are caped at 15bps

[P8NTBALLER590]

yeah thats true.

[teufelhunden]

It is true.

Announcers who understand that generally only paintballers are gonna be watching is a good thing..

[Cliffio]

the announcers are a little corny, but what can you expect, maybe only paintball players are going to watch, but people flipping through wont understand whats going on.

its all about widening the sport, so along with paintball on tv, you can expect announcers like this

[Rynoboy06]

Three pulls of semi-only and then the gun can do whatever you want it to as long as it doesn't exceed 15bps. Full-auto, bursts, response-trigger, anything so long as it stays under 15bps. This is for the NXL only, not the other divisions of Xball.

I agree on the annoucers. Though overall it seems pretty good.

[shatter_storm]

I never fully understood how lame the NXL was until I saw a couple minutes of this. Letting players use FA and throw unlimited amounts of paint kinda defeats the spirit of the game - why not play lasertag or something instead?

Anyways, it's good to see that paintball is still getting spots on TV. Of course, any young impressionable player will get a completely wrong idea of the sport, but hey, such is life.

You guys all i know is he jsut got lit up like a christmas tree..

[rpm07]

I think all guns in a tourny should be full auto it will cut down on cheater guns

[68magOwner]

shatter, X ball is hell-a fun, even with F/A

anyway, im loving how much all these shockers are chopping

[diaper eater]

i havnt noticed these shockers chopping, but wtf is up with all the guns being shockers, what happened to variety, and that whole timmys dominating the tourney scene

Stange and Plilly are both Smart parts teams

[68magOwner]

uhh, no 1one in the NXL gets to choose their markers, those teams are both SP teams, which explains the shockers, also, SP did some tricky business, and only got the camera crews to film games with smart parts teams in them, so their stuff would be represented (which is why some teams didnt play at all this event, taht was gay so they boycotted sp (and NXL) by not playing)


SP

[Echo419]

Wow brian.... i didnt know SP was that gay, u need to start tellin me all this stuf... And brian call me when u get this 5646468
