    has anyone noticed in Greg hastings...

    ...tournement paintball MAX'd that the very first gun you start out with in the beginning of career mode (it's a "conman" series) is a 68 classic? the 68 is in the older form:

    Even in the game, the gun's ASA has an AGD lions logo on it, just like the 68'. Just thought I would point that out. If you don't believe me, go look for yourself.

    Yea I noticed the uncanny resemblance to the Mag instantly. I wonder if the "Conman" name is actually a blast at Tom, which would be VERY uncool. It is undoubtedly the worst gun in the game and I wonder if it was deliberately made that way by somebody with a clear bias towards Mags. I wonder if it is WGP's influence, seeing as the Karnivor is clearly the best gun in the game...

      I thought that with TK and Bud Orr being firends the two companies would have been almost friendly rivals. That having been said WGP is now under K2 so the founding father's friendship may well have nothing to do with it...

        Mabye it's supposed to be one of the british automag knock-offs, hence the "con" part of it.

            There was one called the Colonial. I don't think an untrained eye would be able to tell a Colonial and a Classic apart. I did a google image search for "colonial paintball". There are a few photos.

                actually if you beat the game in career mode, either the XSV ego or the Russian Legion Shocker are statistically the best markers. But I like the trauma dm6, it actually seems faster than the xsv ego. And I agree with the whole "conman" thing. If anything, a mag is not an entry level marker.

                  i think he was talking about the first one, which has the karni as being the best.

                          There's two versions of Max'D one for Xbox one for PS2, im going to assume you have the one for PS2...

                          only real difference is fields,guns,teams...

                            Not only was there the "colonial", but also I think there was the bushwhacker (or something like that) which was a minimag knock off.
