There are many kinds of paintball games that can be played, and as the popularity of the sport grows, I am sure that so will the types of games that can be played, so do not limit yourself to only that games that are displayed here.
I will be updating this with new games when the time is right. As paintball improved and became popular, a lot of people tried their abilities at it; giving rise to the assortment and diversity of paintball tournaments and games.
Recreational or Capture the Flag
This is probably the most popular of the paintball games that are out there, and are played by two teams, where each team has a flag and the objective of both teams is to capture or seize the opponent’s flag and carry it to your team’s starting point. This is one way for your team to win and another way is by eliminating the opposing team entirely.
Each team has to defend their base and simultaneously dispatch team players to eliminate the opponent and capture their flag. These games are usually played in the forest; bunkers and structures can be put up throughout the area.
Scenario Paintball
Scenario paintball is a game with a theme set up behind it: there are many types of themes that can be made up making the game feel and look very realistic. There are a large number of players; in most situations as many as a hundred can be involved in each team.
Each team gets theme a day before the start of the scenario. There are usually two teams participating, having the “general” as a team’s leader.
Each player is handed a role and they should work together as a team in order to carry out and win the mission that is assigned to them. Props in accordance with the theme are introduced and distributed throughout the field. There are questions asked in connection with the theme and points are awarded for correct answers.
These points are totaled at the conclusion of the game and the team having the most number of points wins.
Backyard
This can be played right in the comfort of your own backyard, a buddy’s empty property or at times any property, but keep in mind that you must as you get permission first. You gather your friends to form a group and then conceptualize your own game which typically is “capture the flag”.
Speedball
This game is also referred to as “Center Flag”, the speedball field is designed with many huge bunkers; usually “inflatables” filled with air that are shaped similar to big snakes, soda cans, water tanks etc.
In this game, a team can be constructed of between three to ten players in a game. There is only one flag that is involved and it is located at the center of a field. The two teams begin at each end of the field and attempt to gain possession of the flag at the center and carry it to their bunker. The team that does this successfully wins.
