[QUOTE="Droberts, post: 1860393, member: 13839"] the scenario aspect of paintball is a completely separate subculture. the idea of a 15 minute game with a bunch of kids is demolished and replaced by 300+ hardened paintball veterans (many of which are adults in their 30-50's) playing multiple 3 hour battles throughout the course of a weekend. "speedballers" and "woodsballers" are also worlds apart in terms of attitude and what motivates them to play. you can get a good battle in a speedball game with air bunkers or plywood standups, but you get the heart racing, adrenaline fueled 'thrill of the hunt' from woodsball. i've been playing woodsball pretty religiously for the last 18 years, its more than just a sport, its really a lifelong bond of camaraderie between all scenario woodsballers. if you've every been really into paintball but suffered burnout, trade in your speedball jerseys for a good set of fatigues, look up an event schedule of paintball scenarios in your area and attend one. you might find a renewed love for a side of the sport that you never knew existed. heres a little video of an event from 2011, its a pretty good representative of a typical scenario. the majority of the video focuses on just one of the "meat grinder" battles, the actual play area is about 25-30 acres. Tank action @ 3:14 to wet your appetite. [media=youtube]gSNaM4QVt8Q[/media] [/QUOTE]
