For beginners (and even experienced game developers) it's usually best to start out with a game engine that already exists.  Now that the Quake2 engine has been open-sourced, you can do basically anything you want with it.  quakesrc.org has a bunch of resources for development with the Quake2 engine.  Unfortunately it's down right now.  Hopefully it'll be back up soon.  In the meantime, you might want to take a look at what some other people have done with the engine.  Search for quake2max, quake2 evolved, and qfusion.  Also take a look at the qbismfusion engine.  I don't remember the urls to all of these offhand.  For info on making models take a look at http://www.polycount.com/

Wings3D is a nice (and free) modelling program. Google has answers to all your other questions. :)

i have one more question how do you make the charecters move? Also i was thinking.. cause i have no idea how to use wings 3-d, maybe i could gte all dressed in my paintball stuff and gte pictures of the guns online and conect them all. Maybe i could do something like digitaly tapeing all the capablilitys like jump and throw gernade and capture the sounds with a digital microphone, let me know what you think.

Are you talking about contributing to this game or making your own?

Oh, well if you want to record some high quality sounds for paintball2, that'd be great too. ;)

There are lots of sites dedicated to game development.  Check out http://www.gamedev.net http://www.gamasutra.com/ http://www.flipcode.com/ -- it takes years to put together a good game from the ground up, so you need to have a lot of dedication if you want to accomplish anything.
