AC Paintball near Atlantic City, New Jersey has six different paintball field for you to choose from. Some are large and some are small. Some are wooded and some are artificial. Depending on which AC Paintball field you choose to play on, it is important to understand how to adapt your game. Below you will find some tips to help you do so.

Number of Players

The first thing you should consider when you arrive at AC Paintball is how many people are playing. If you have a large group, you should choose a large field such as AC Paintball’s Blue Thunder Woods field or the Ultimate Battle Zone Field. On the other hand, if you have a small group, you should choose a smaller field such as AC Paintball’s Hyperball Field or Speedball Tournament Field.

Length of Game

The number of players and field you choose will also affect the length of your AC Paintball game. If you play on a small field, you can expect your game to be short, unless you create rules that allow the game to go on longer. If you choose a large field, the game will last longer. It is important to think about how long you want the game to last and adjust your game appropriately. Think about how experienced your group is and how much stamina they have to help you determine how to adjust your AC Paintball game.

Equipment

The size of the field you play should also affect the equipment you choose. For instance, if you are playing on a large AC Paintball field, you will want to choose a marker that can shoot far accurately. On the other hand, you want a gun that can shoot rapidly for a game on a small field.

Speed of Play

As mentioned above, small fields make for short games and large fields make for long games. This is mostly because of the speed of play. On a small AC Paintball field, you are closer to your opponents and therefore can eliminate them more quickly. There are few places to hide. On a large AC Paintball field, everyone is more spread out. This means that you have to find your opponents before you get a chance to eliminate them and caused the game to run more slowly.

The speed of play is also something to consider when determining the details of your AC Paintball game. If you want excitement and lot’s of action, choose a small field. If you want a more thoughtful and strategic game, choose a large field.

Moving

Most of AC Paintball’s large fields are wooded while most of the smaller ones are more artificial. This means that if you choose a large field, you will have to pay closer attention to where you step. How often you move and the length of your stride will also be affected. On a small field, you should move more often and take shorter strides as you can’t move as far. On a large AC Paintball field, you will likely move less often, but take longer strides as you do.

Strategy

Your strategy will also change based on field size. With a small field, the game is quick. You don’t have time to pull off complicated plans. The faster you can dwindle your opponents’ numbers, the more likely you are to win your game. On a large field, however, you can be more strategic. You have more time to make plans to ambush your opponents or come up with an unexpected plan to take the game out of nowhere.

Communication

Yet another aspect that will change is communication. On a small AC Paintball field, people can likely see you anyway. You don’t have to worry about giving away your position, so you can likely yell whatever message you are trying to communicate. On a large field, however, you will likely be hiding and not able to yell as often. It is a good idea to designate a communicator for your team. You can also use hand signals or Walkie-Talkies.
