• Paintball for Introverts

    alone-21279_960_720Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. An introvert is someone who prefers spending time alone. Being social can drain introvert’s energy and wear them out. Some introverts are shy, though. They experience anxiety when trying to talk to people they don’t know well. Simply saying hello can stress them out.

    Our society seems to prefer extroverts as they are more likely and willing to take command when you need a leader. Yet, introverts can be good leaders too. Introverts are great listeners and are smart because they spend a lot of time thinking. As an introvert, however, it is important to learn how to be more extroverted from time to time. Playing paintball at AC Paintball is a great way to do this.

    Paintball is a social sport. Without good communication, it is difficult to be successful. With the right team, paintball can help any introvert learn how to come out of their shell. Playing paintball at AC Paintball can give introverts communication skills, confidence, and friends.

    Paintball Provides a Common Interest and Conversation Topics

    The hardest part of communication for most introverts is approaching someone new.  It can be difficult for them to find a conversation topic. Some introverts get anxious when having to do this. They worry about the other person judging them and looking stupid.

    Playing paintball at AC Paintball can help quell some of these fears. If you are talking to someone at AC Paintball, chances are they are from southern New Jersey and interested in paintball. You can start a conversation by asking them where they are from and how they became interested in paintball. Their answers may spark even more conversation and soon you may find that opening up paid off.

    Paintball Can Lead to Making Friends

    paintball-1282158_960_720Conversation leads to friendship. Some introverts have trouble making friends. But having a common interest makes things easier. If you talk for a while and have a lot in common, you may end up finding a new friend. Once you make a few good friends, you will have a support system. You may find that if you promise to have your friends back, they will have yours. Every good team player supports their teammates and helps out however they can.

    If you find friends, playing paintball at AC Paintball can become your favorite hobby. If you are new to the game, try to avoid playing with hard-core professionals who put too much pressure on you. If you experience any problems with any players, talk to an employee at AC Paintball. We promote safe and friendly paintball and will try to help you however we can.

    To start out you should try to find players who just play for fun. They can be new players or experienced players as long as they don’t give you a hard time. If they are experienced, they may also be able to give you tips to improve your game. With enough good friends, you may create a regular group for playing at AC Paintball. You may even get together outside of AC Paintball.

    Paintball Improves Interpersonal Communication

    To be successful in paintball, your team needs to communicate well. When your teammates are depending on you, you may find it in yourself to be more outgoing. You won’t want to let your team down, so you will do what you have to do to help them succeed.

    Once you learn to be more vocal, you will learn how to communicate better. When playing on an AC Paintball field, you will need to make sure your teammates understand you. You will learn to be more clear and concise with what you say. There will also be times when you need to be fairly quiet. To make sure your teammates get the message, you will learn to better enunciate your words.

    Soon, you will be able to use your improved communication skills in other aspects of your life. You may find it easier to talk on the phone, give speeches and talk to people you don’t know well. You may become a better talker and become more social in general.

    Paintball Improves Confidence

    With improved communication skills and a good support system, you will become more confident. If you play paintball long enough, you may also gain some muscles and look healthier as well.  When you help out your teammates, they will be thankful. This can help make you feel important and give you some self-worth.  Confidence will make you feel better and help you go far in life.

    pintball-918086_960_720At first, it may be difficult, but don’t worry about being unskilled or bringing your team down. Most players aren’t experts at the start. Yet, with practice and dedication, you will improve with each game. It’s important to stay positive. An AC Paintball experience should be fun and not stressful.

    If you feel like you’re not good, learn to shake it off and laugh at your mistakes. You may not be able to take out half of your opponents, but you can keep your team’s spirits up by having a good attitude. You may lose at times, but if you do, lose with style. Don’t get down or be a sore loser. The more you stay positive, the better time you will have. If you stick with it, you may eventually become a team leader and help other introverts learn to love the game.

  • Variations of Military Games

    Military paintball games can give players some of the best chances to get creative. When you play a military game, there are many different ways to make the game come alive. You can roleplay as your favorite heroes/heroines as well as use props and costumes to make the game more interesting. AC Paintball in Southern New Jersey has a variety of military-style paintball fields for you and your friends or family to play your favorite military paintball game.  Here is a guide to some different types of military games you can play. 

    Attack and Defend

    Attack and Defend games are great if you want a fast-paced game with lots of action. In an Attack/Defend game, the defending team sets off an area to defend. They are not allowed to go outside of this area. The attacking team, however, can play anywhere on the field. This game used standard elimination; if a player is hit, they are out.

    The game is won when all of one team is eliminated or when the attacking team completes a specific task that captures the defending team’s land, such as claiming a specific prop (a flag, crown, etc.). AC Paintball’s Black Ops Pentagon Woods Field would be an excellent place to play an Attack/Defend game. It has a pentagon of drop tank bunkers in the center that would serve as a good area for one team to defend.             

    dualsideshot

    Recon

    Recon is a strategic, collecting game where players try to collect marks from various checkpoints. To set up, various posts with markers or stamps should be set up around the course. During the timed period of play, the player’s goal is to collect as many marks as they can. The challenge is that all of the players have to get to the same checkpoints. With this game, you can have multiple small teams of five players each or you can play every-man-for-himself. This game uses standard elimination rules.

    Once the time expires, the team or player with the most marks wins. Eliminated player’s marks do not count toward their team’s final score. For scoring, you can choose to win by most marks accumulated or you can assign a point system where teams receive bonus points for accomplishing extra feats. For instance, if all of the players visit the same post or if any player is able to obtain a mark from every checkpoint, they can receive a few additional points.              

    POW

    Pow is similar to Attack/Defend, but instead of capturing land or a prop, each team tries to capture the other teams players. When a player is hit, they must go to the opposing teams holding area. Their teammates can get them out by tagging them. The game is over when either one team has captured all of the other team’s players. You can play with a time limit if you prefer. In this case, the team with the most captured players at the end wins. Pow is another good strategy game.    

    texture5           

    Hostage Rescue

    Hostage rescue is a mix between Attack/Defend and Pow. One team starts out with a hostage and the other team must rescue them by taking them out of the holding area and getting them to a designated area called the sanctuary. If a hostage finds themselves alone without a rescuer at any point, they must wait where they are for another rescuer to find them. They can call out for help if they wish.

    The game ends when either the rescuers get the hostage to the sanctuary or the captors eliminate all of the rescuers. The game also ends if the hostage is hit at any point. The team who hit the hostage loses. AC Paintball’s Blue Thunder Woods Field would be a good choice for this type of game. It has two rows of military tents on either side of the field that would be a great base to keep hostages.               

    Traitor

    To set up a traitor game every player is secretly assigned roles. Teams usually choose by pulling out two kings, two jacks, and a sum of numbered cards from a playing card deck (equal to the number of players minus four) and having each person draw a card. There are two kings and two traitors. The kings are the leaders of their team and the traitor’s role is to eventually turn on their own team at whichever point they seem fit. Standard elimination rules are used for Traitor games. The game is won when the king of either team is eliminated.            

    Assassins

    Assassins is an every-man-for-himself strategy game. Before the game begins every player’s name is written on a piece of paper. Then every person then draws the name of another player and does not tell anyone whose name they drew. Their goal for the game is to eliminate that player without being eliminated themselves. Players should not eliminate someone other than their target. In this game, the last player standing wins.

    new jersey hyperball paintball field

    President/VIP

    In VIP/President, each team begins by selecting a VIP. The goal of the game it to protect your team’s VIP while also trying to eliminate the other team’s VIP. Like most games, this game uses standard elimination and ends when one of the VIPs is eliminated. AC Paintball’s Hyperball Field would be an interesting place to play a President/VIP game. It is the AC Paintball’s smallest field which will keep the game going and has a variety of obstacles to help protect your VIP. 

    Civil War

    Civil war is a very structured, warlike game. To begin, each team lines up shoulder to shoulder and then the leader yells, “Fire!” Immediately after this happens, every player simultaneously takes a single shot at the other team. If a player is hit, they either fall down or step back. Each team continues firing rounds until one entire team is eliminated.

    Comments Off on Variations of Military Games

  • Variations of Capture-the-Flag

    Capture-the-flag is a childhood game that has its roots on the battlefield. In past times, a war wasn’t over until you captured your enemy’s flag. This format eventually became a popular children’s game and in more recent years, it has worked its way into paintball. Eventually, capture-the-flag evolved even more as players add new rules and concepts. Now there are even more variations of the game to play and we have described them below. You can use these game plans as ideas for your next paintball game at AC Paintball in southern New Jersey.

    Entryway to AC Paintball in New Jersey

    Neutral Capture-the-Flag

    With neutral capture-the-flag, you play with only one flag. Rather than having a flag at each teams base, one flag is placed in the middle and each team tries to take that flag back to their home base to win. This game is more like a tug-of-war game compared to a normal capture-the-flag game. If someone is hit while carrying the flag, the flag is planted where they were hit. With evenly matched teams, the flag can go back and forth for quite some time before the game ends.   

    Center-Flag-Push

    Like neutral capture-the-flag, center-flag-push is played with only one flag. The catch is that instead of trying to bring the flag back to your home base, you try to push the flag onto the other team’s home base. Games with one flag at the center can be more interesting than having one flag on each side because it evens the playing field a bit more. The wooded fields at AC Paintball in southern New Jersey are not symmetrical. Trees and other foliage grow randomly and therefore one side can be more difficult to navigate than the other. Center-flag games keep the play fair because neither team gets much of an advantage.

    Bomb

    The difference between normal capture-the-flag and bomb is that each team starts off with a “bomb” which can be a box, a rolled up shirt or whatever you want. The goal for each team is to get the bomb to the other team’s base. This is different from center-flag-push because you start out with the object rather than having to capture it first. Bomb can also be played with either two-sided or neutrally. You either have to get the bomb to the other team’s base or get it to the center first.     

    pentagon paintball field

    Down, But Not Out

    Down, But Not Out is the best version of capture-the-flag to play if you want everyone to have a more even amount of playing time. Usually, once you are hit, you are out, but in this game, your teammates can tag you to revive you so you can be back in the game. In this game, when someone is hit, they simply sit on the ground where they were hit. They wait for someone to tag them and when someone does, they are back in the game. This game takes away the opponent’s strategy of trying to lower the number of the other team’s players to win the game. They must brainstorm and find a different strategy to win the game.                    

    Blackjack

    If you want to save money on paintballs, the blackjack version of capture-the-flag is a more strategic version of capture-the-flag. Rather than having unlimited paintballs, a blackjack game only allows 21. Players must learn to use their ammunition wisely. If you’ve played all day at AC Paintball and only have a few paintballs left, you can divide the total amount left evenly and play blackjack with however many paintballs remain.

    The wooded New Jersey courses at AC Paintball such as the Black Ops Pentagon Woods field, the Blue Thunder course or the Red Dawn Woods course would be excellent places to play any capture-the-flag game.

    Comments Off on Variations of Capture-the-Flag

  • Variations of Speedball

    Within the most common versions of paintball games are even more versions that players have come up throughout the years. By changing one or two simple rules, players can change the entire dynamics of a paintball game. This keeps the game fresh and interesting as well as allowing you to choose which set of rules works best for you. At AC Paintball in southern New Jersey, there are many ways to play paintball. Here are some versions of speedball that other players have come up with to help you choose what rules you want to play with. You can also use these ideas as inspiration to come up with your own game.

    texture1

    Annihilator

    An annihilator game is played a lot like a typical speedball game, except there is more than one team and you use points to win the game. In annihilator, there should be about four teams of five players. When someone from your team hits and eliminates an opponent, your team gets a point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.               

    Bunny Hunt or Predator vs. Prey

    In a bunny hunt game, one person is chosen to be the “bunny”. They are given a limited time to run and hide until the rest of the players come in to hunt for the “bunny”. Once the bunny is captured, the game is over. Predator vs. Prey is very close to bunny hunt, except you can have more than one “bunny.” This makes the teams a bit more even and allows the game to last longer.               

    Tag

    The tag version of paintball is played exactly how you played tag as a kid. One person is “it” and they run around trying to tag other players with a paintball. Whoever gets hit is “it” next and the game continues this way for as long as you want or until everyone has been “it” at least once. Tag is a great nostalgic game that can bring you back to your childhood. 

    Hide ‘N’ Seek

    Hide ‘n’ seek is another great childhood game that is played exactly how you used to play, except with paintballs. One person is chosen to be “it” and stays at the starting base while the other players run to hide. Once the “it” player is finished counting, they run into the woods and begin to search for players to hit. Once they find all the players, the game is over. You can decide whether or not the players “it” finds get to aid in the search for more players, hide again, or serve as distractions for players who are still hiding. One of AC Paintball’s wooded courses such as the Blue Thunder Woods Field or the Red Dawn Woods Field would be excellent courses for a game of hide ‘n’ seek.

    hiddenshot

    Trophy Hunter

    In trophy hunt, rather than players hiding, trophies are hidden throughout the course. Teams run around collecting the trophies until all of them have been collected. The team with the most trophies at the end of the game wins. Again, AC Paintball’s wooded courses would make a great place to play this type of game. The thickly wooded areas of southern New Jersey make for tricky hiding places to make the game more challenging.

    Paintburner

    If some of your players get too competitive and you want to play a game with no winners and no losers, paintburner may be the game for you. In this paintball game, multiple teams play normal speedball with standard elimination rules. The catch is that when you are out, you still have a chance to come back in. Once a person is out, they simply wait at the starting base until two or three more players get knocked out. Afterward, these players form a new team and continue to play for as long as you want. This is a great game to play at the end of the day to make sure no one gets upset about not getting enough playing time. It is also a good choice for team building skills because players have to learn to adjust to different teammates.

    Mixing up the rules is a great way to keep a paintball game interesting. Changing the rules keeps players on their toes and challenges their brains. If you have a group or team that has been stuck in a rut lately, playing paintball at AC paintball in southern New Jersey could be the inspiration they need to get back on track. Your team can work together to both decide the rules and win the match.

  • Three Common Paintball Game Variations

    Did you know that there is more than one way to play paintball? If every game were played exactly the same, players would get bored after a while. That’s why past players have come up with different variations of the game to keep play interesting. At AC Paintball in southern New Jersey, there are a variety of fields available to suit whichever type of play you choose. This guide will help you choose both which type of game to play and which type of field to play on.         

    Speedball

    10658860_496608440479653_4244368542241473132_o

    Speedball is probably the most traditional format of paintball and doesn’t require much planning. It is the main format used by professional leagues and is the only game type used in tournaments. In this format teams are typically small and have as close to the same amount of players as possible. Each team has a starting base and eliminates opponents by standard elimination rules. Each team shoots paintballs at their opponent and if someone gets hit, they are out. Some people like to play with more than one life to allow the game to last longer. If this is the case, the player who is out must go back to the starting base. Then they resume playing until all of their lives have expired. In this version the team with the last man standing wins.

    Speedball fields are typically small and filled with many bunkers such as giant spools, barrels, pipes and more. Speedball games are usually short and quick compared to other types of games because the interaction in close range and immediate. Most speedball courses lack trees and other plants and only use shorter man-made structures. This allows players to see the entire field and take out their opponents at a much faster rate. If you wish to play the most traditional form of paintball, the Speedball Tournament field at AC Paintball would be your best choice. It meets tournament standards and is the easiest to control. It is also the best field if you wish to use strategy and like lots of obstacles.

    Capture-the-Flag

    acpaintball_forest

    Another popular version of paintball is capture-the-flag. In this version, two flags are set up at each end of the course. Usually, it is required that everyone playing knows where each flag is to be fair, but if you want to mix up the game a bit, you could allow each team to hide their flag to make the game more challenging. The goal of this version is to take your opponent’s flag and make it safely back to your home base without getting hit. If you do get hit, this version also uses standard elimination rules. If you only have one life, you are done. If you have more than one life, you return to home base and continue playing until all of your lives have been used.

    Paintball was originally played in the woods and is still a common place to play today.  Capture the flag is best played in wooded areas as there are many places to hide. If you want to play with a lot of people, AC Paintball’s Blue Thunder Woods Field or Black Ops Pentagon Woods Field can accommodate large groups. If you have a smaller group, the Red Dawn Woods field is a smaller course that can accommodate beginners and younger players. It is the simplest field and is fairly close to the entrance of the facility making it easy to monitor.

    Military Simulation

    300px-Humvee_in_difficult_terrain

    Paintball shares many similarities with the drills the military used for training recruits. In fact, the military sometimes uses paintball games to help prepare soldiers for battle. With this in mind many paintball facilities, including AC Paintball in southern New Jersey, have developed military-style courses. AC Paintball has the Hyperball Field, the Speedball Tournament Field and the Black Ops Pentagon Woods Field all offering obstacles and various props that create a military-like atmosphere.

    When you play a military simulation there are many variables and ways to play. For the most part, it is up to the teams and their leaders to decide their main and/or side objectives. Some common military simulation paintball games include attack/defend games, recon missions, or reenactments. In attack/defend games, one team has free-roam of the entire course while the other team is confined to a specific area that they must defend. In recon games, players are given specific checkpoints and objectives to meet. Reenactments typically involve the two teams recreating specific storylines from historical wars such as the civil war. All of these games often use standard elimination rules. The variations come in by adding different goals, rules, and/or terrains.

    The main difference that sets military simulation games apart from other versions is that they try to incorporate warlike aspects. Players may try to make their guns look more like real guns, use two-way radios, or even dress up in authentic costumes. Unlike some paintball variations, strategic planning is a crucial aspect of any military simulation game.

    No matter what variation you decide to play, the rules and objectives are up to you. If you simply want to play a free-for-all game, you can.  AC Paintball in southern New Jersey has five fun fields that can accommodate whichever game variation you decide to choose.

  • How an Outing at AC Paintball Can Improve Your Company

    Have any coworkers that you would love to hit with a paintball? Looking for a way to spice up casual Friday with some color? AC Paintball in southern New Jersey offers a corporate outing package that can help improve your company by giving your workers a new challenge to overcome. Through team building and leadership exercises, your employees will learn more about each other while building stronger relationships.

    paintball team building

    Leadership and Team Building

    Paintball is a team sport. This means, just like in a company, everyone has a role to play and if someone doesn’t do their part, the entire team either has to pick up that person’s slack or suffer the consequences. This is an important lesson for co-workers to learn. They learn that if someone is out due to illness or personal reasons, they may have to band together and work harder to keep the company’s productivity up.

    With teams, there are also leaders. Paintball teaches your managers and supervisors to take command of their team while teaching others to listen and contribute. On the other hand, you may also decide to switch roles to allow employees within your company to see the system from another perspective.

    Communication

    One of the most important keys to success in paintball is communication. If you don’t let your teammates know what your plans are, you can throw off the rest of the team and spark downfall. The same goes for a company. When a single employee decides not to communicate their plans, all of the other workers in line to finish a project will be thrown off and the quality and time management of the project may suffer.

    Paintball can also teach co-workers to watch each other’s back. In paintball, teammates learn to warn each other of opponents they may not see. This can translate to helping each other out with projects in the workplace. Employees will learn to fix mistakes they notice their co-workers making and help each other be successful. In the end, your employees will end up bonding and build new friendships that will bring your workers closer to create an efficient and successful company.

    Strategy

    In the workplace, strategizing can be important when you are organizing data, navigating a project or even just dealing with a difficult customer. In paintball players have to strategize how to be stealthy and choose their targets carefully. Not only that but they have to make decisions quickly and think on their feet. Paintball keeps players on their toes and this can translate to making faster and better choices in the workplace.

    Endurance

    Depending on which type of game, field, and time of year you choose, playing paintball in southern New Jersey takes endurance. Rain, snow or even just sun can be a challenge to players. In these conditions, whoever can overcome the distracting conditions the best and focus on the goal will be victorious. Weather conditions aside, just getting back up and trying again after you’ve been hit is also a valuable lesson.

    Stress Relief

    Paintball can be a great outlet for stress. Employees can release their pent up frustration by firing paintballs at their friends, boss and even annoying coworkers. Don’t worry about anyone getting too carried away, though, a referee is always provided to supervise the match and make sure players abide by the rules. If you feel a lot of your coworkers or employees have been frustrated or down lately, a field trip to AC Paintball in southern New Jersey may be the ticket to relieving the tension.

    Motivation

    Following the same routine day after day can make an employee feel like they are caught in an endless loop. When this happens, they lose motivation to perform well at their job. Taking your company to AC Paintball may be the test they require to boost their motivation and inspire them to improve their skills. Paintball challenges players, both mentally and physically and once your employees find their motivation again your company will improve as well.

  • Biggest Day in Paintball: Paintball World Cup

    AC Paintball is closed Saturday for the holiday, but don’t worry because there will still be plenty of action in the world of paintball this weekend. The 2014 PSP World Cup will take place October 9-12 in Chicago, Illinois. 380 paintball teams from all over the world will compete in what is said to be paintball’s biggest day of the year.

    Professional and amateur paintball players will compete on ten identical fields and in four Divisions. Amateur teams will play with five shooters in seven matches. Professional teams will play with seven shooters until one team hits seven points.

    The World Cup is the biggest and the last competition of the year for the PSP league. Small competitions have taken place all year in California, Maryland, Chicago, and Dallas.

    All teams will play capture the flag style. In case you are unfamiliar with the rules, teams will enter the field from opposite sides and try to shoot the opposing players while avoiding getting hit themselves. The ultimate goal is to obtain the flag located in the center of the field and return it to their starting position.

    You can check out the field layout and bunkers in the picture of above. Looks like the fields have a good amount of snake bunkers (small and low to the ground) and Doritos (tall and triangular), which should make for fast and intense games.

    You can get in on the action by watching the live webcast this weekend provided by PBA. You can access the stream at paintballaccesslive.com for $19.95.

    The webcast will also offer a live episode of The Breakdown, a paintball news series with hosts Matty Marshall and Todd Martinez created by PBA.

    The episode will feature interviews with selected players who will discuss their paintball season, thoughts on the field layout, and tactics for the big game. The hosts and players will also talk about Fantasy Paintball picks and drills to try on the field.

    In an informal poll on PBNation, fans made their picks for teams most likely to win the World Cup. Top choices were Edmonton Impact from Canada, Moscow Art Chaos from Russia and LA Ironmen. Other fan favorites were Tampa Bay Damage, Houston Heat, and San Antonio Xfactor. Trailing behind was Baltimore Revo, Omaha Vicious, and Upton 187 Crew.
    The next few days will be big in the world of paintball. What teams do you think will beat the competition? What are you thoughts on the field design? Let us know in the comments!
