Welcome, new player<\/a>! You’ve made a great choice in picking up a new, fun hobby. You’re probably in the process of purchasing your gear and getting ready to go out into the field, right? But just before you get out on that field, there’s one more step you should tackle: knowing the common variations of paintball games. Like any game, you can really make it up as you go. But, there are some common styles that people will play before jumping in and creating their own style. So, before you jump onto the field, take a look through this guide to help you get started with paintball games.<\/p>\n This is one of the most basic variations to paintball games. And, it’s exactly what it sounds like – you get out on the field and shoot everyone before they shoot you. It’s a paintball classic and great for beginners.<\/a><\/p>\n Capture the flag is another one of the popular variations of paintball games. In this style, there are two teams racing to steal the other’s flag and get it back to their home base without getting shot. It’s your typical capture the flag game, but with paintball guns. So if you’ve played a capture the flag game before, the paintball version should be easy for you to pick up.<\/p>\n Of course, there are variations of play styles, such as center flag. The idea is also simple. Rather than two teams having their own flags, there is only one flag in the center of the field. The two teams will then race to capture that flag and bring it back to their home base or across the field to their opponents’ station.<\/p>\n Base capture can be seen as one of the capture the flag variations because it stems from the capture the flag principle. Both teams have a single flag at their base. Rather than dash to your opponents’ base and take their flag, all you do is rush to touch their flag. Once you touch the flag, you win as you will have successfully captured your opponents’ base.<\/p>\n Resurrection is a variation that can be played as a style of your paintball game (i.e. elimination with resurrection) or perhaps as your own style of game. Basically, resurrection is where you’re not eliminated once you’re shot – you get a second chance. This often means you re-enter the game from the starting point after you’re eliminated. This play style is included on the list because it is involved in other paintball game variations such as zombies.<\/p>\n Who doesn’t love zombies? Everyone loves zombies – paintballers, too. The zombie\u00a0style game is pretty straightforward. There will be a set of players that are “healthy” – they’re not infected by a zombie virus. There is a set of player, large or small, that are infected. If you are eliminated by a zombie paintballer, you are now a zombie. The game is over when either everyone is infected or all infected have been eliminated.<\/p>\n When you hear “protect the President”, what comes to mind? Is it the Secret Service<\/a> surrounding the President and escorting him away with the President’s head ducked down? If so, you’ve got the gist of this paintball game format. There are two teams: an attacking team and a defending team. On the defending side, someone will be nominated to be the President. The remaining defending team will then have to protect and escort the President to safety. The attacking team’s goal is to take out the President, which is done with a headshot.<\/p>\n1.
