Will this game keep the avid paintballer occupied during the winter months.
First things first the AI on the opposite team needs to be redone because they are utterly retarded at some points but then again its hard to call them retarded when you get bunkered (getting shot point blank). The physics in the game are supreme, paintballs will bounce off bunkers and range and angles they also have the ability to bounce off the ground and hit a player the bunkers also indent when hit. The guns are all nice but the unlocking pattern is really off, three tourneys in and I unlocked a High-end gun, the next 2 events got me Wal-Mart guns which made me wonder. Overall if the AI was redone then the gameplay would be supreme.
Multiplayer:
Is a joke, unless you have enough friends for a 3v3 or 5v5 game you've got yourself a problem. The online is filled with people who still think they're playing counterstrike and CoD4 so dont expect a good game of paintball online.
Graphics:
The graphics are average, however that being said the bunker behavior and graphics are awesome being a speedballer myself I was really impressed with the bunker behavior and the paintball behavior.
Sound:
This game suffers from horrible announcer voice and weird slogans from players. The paintballs hitting bunkers is dead on but the devs missed the "drumming" that occurs when a rope hits your bunker and having that included would have made the game so much more real.
Overall 7.5
Bottom Line:
If your a paintballer then this game is for you however i don't think it would have much appeal to anybody other then an avid paintball fan.
