I have only started playeing this game after looking up some software for my SQL on opensource site I use, I came across this game and as an real life paintballer of 20 years or so I thought I would give this a look. What with having to give up real paintballing due to now owning a house and the costs involved in real paintball, I thought this looked a good alternative.
Less active but fun all the same. I have noticed a lot of very bad attitudes towards new players, I am sure even the most seasoned arm-chair paintballers of this game were new once ?.
The thing is if people wanted exclusive pro games only they would play on locked non public servers, a very easy option to take to prevent that.
In actual paintball games are played according to your teams ability when in competition level, but when playing in a public arena its a good fun free for all.
I will only play now and again and I am in the middle of doing up a house and workign full time so should that keep me in the noob field forever then so be it. But most all I am enjoying the game and its great fun and to be fair 99% of the public players are a helpful friendly bunch.
