• Adjusting Your AC Paintball Game to the Number of Players

    Every single AC Paintball game is different. That is one of the elements that make playing so much fun. You never know what to expect. There are many different aspects that can affect the outcome of an AC Paintball game. This includes weather, which field you choose, what game you play, who’s playing, and more. 

    With this in mind, it is good to know how to adjust to each of these elements so you can have more success during your game. One of the biggest elements is the number of players. Check out these tips below to learn how to adjust your game based on team size. 

    Field Choice

    One of the first decisions you will have to make after arriving at AC Paintball near Atlantic City, New Jersey is what field your group is going to play on. We have six different fields to choose from. Some are large, and some are smaller. 

    Large Team

    If you have a large team of about 20 people or more, you will want to choose a larger field. AC Paintball’s larger fields include the Blue Thunder Woods Field and the Black Ops Pentagon Woods Field. Even if your group has 100 people, AC Paintball can accommodate you. 

    Medium Team

    Medium-sized teams of 5-20 people are easy to accommodate. You can choose just about any field. If you choose a large field, the game just may take a bit longer. On the other hand, if you choose a smaller field, you will have a more intense game as players will run into each other fairly quickly. Choose a field that best suits the pace you want your AC Paintball game to be. 

    Small Team

    If you have a small team of about 5 people or less, one of AC Paintball’s smallest fields might be your best option. This includes the Hyperball Field and the Speedball Tournament field. Even if you have a small group, you may be able to join other groups at AC Paintball to make for a longer, more interesting game. 

    Positions

    The next aspect to think about positions or roles. The number of people you have in charge of certain things will affect the outcome of your game. 

    Large Team

    If you have a large group, you have a lot of people to work with. This means instead of having one or two people in charge of specific responsibilities, you can group people off. A good basic plan for a large team is to have a couple of frontmen or runners, a handful of snipers and then have a majority of your team play middleman/cavalry or backmen. Be sure to have a handful of people in charge of communication as well. This will help your team be more successful. 

    It is worth noting that having large groups of people traveling together makes a larger target for your opponents. However, you still may want teammates nearby to back you up. Traveling in groups of two or three might be your best bet. 

    Medium Team

    For a medium team, you can keep about the same ratios. However, you may not have quite enough people to travel in groups. Based on what game you play, decide if it would be more helpful to travel in small groups or alone. In a medium-sized group, it is a good idea to have about 2-3 people in charge of communication. When all of your team is on the same page, you can be more successful. 

    Small Team

    In a small team, you can’t really group people to be in charge of certain things. It is generally better for each person to simply seek out opponents and defend themselves on their own. This isn’t to say that teammates shouldn’t back each other up. Small teams just generally have quicker interactions that don’t call for a large overall strategy as large team games do. 

    Strategy

    Finally, you will need to adjust your strategy. The game you decide to play will also affect this, but the size of your team will give you a general idea of who you have to work with. 

    Large Team

    Larger teams generally involve more strategizing as you have many people and you need to get them all to work together if you want to win the AC paintball game. Some strategies you may want to consider include ambushes, sacrificing players to help achieve your higher goal, and keeping most of your team on the outer edges of the field rather than the center. 

    Medium Team

    Medium team strategies can be very similar to large teams, however, you may not want to sacrifice players for the good of the team as often. Communication is important to keep tabs on how many teammates are still in the game. Knowing this can help you adjust your strategy accordingly.

    Small Team

    Finally, with small teams, keeping your teammates in the game is generally important as a single player can make more of a difference. Therefore, you will likely not want to sacrifice any players for the good of the team. Instead, you will want to back each other up so your team can gain the advantage.
