Might not work in game, pple might not like it but i think it would be cool , to have small particle trails or a skewed longer ball model.. to make the balls path more visible... kinda to creat a tracer shot..... done some testing and it creates a nice visual effect in large maps..

Dont know any coding to try the particle balls... but on a seperate install a got a skewed ball model to load and played some lan games,, couldnt get textures to work right.. but ball was more visible and . . it doesnt matter how small or big the model is the "hit" area is still the same.... you could have a ball the size of a basketball and it wdnt matter..  but if the ball is just longer  it really wdnt matter... i just thought this wld be cool.. like when someone is unloading across a path and you cant c the splatter on the other side .. u walk right into it.. this makes it more visible.plus in big maps . it looks like desert storm excrement..       even if just about 5 random particles followed closely around the ball it would look bad ass!

cool. the "scewed ball model" thing might not work, since in some servers, balls can bounce.

Good point on the bouncing balls... but particle trail should work..  ,,, just  a thought..

That idea is already in the que, motion blurred paintballs for better visibility.

Yeah, it's somewhere on the todo list, I think. :)
