ok so the thing is i'm a big paintball buff, that doesn't mean i'm good, that just means i love the sport, despite how it drains me of money. anyway, someone should make a great game of it, look at the success of such modifications as quake and halflife paintball. there is alot of money to be made if someone could just capture the essence of how great, frenzied, and tactical this sport can be, bringing every angle, from woods ball, to speed ball, to hyperball to the table. we'd need name brand guns awsome physics, a counterstrike style purchase system to reward the better player with better materials and encourgae the newbs to lower their profiles and increase their ko's. the action could be so intense, and fast paced like unreal tournament, but tactical like rainbow six, or ghost recon at other times. paintball offers so much that airsoft and other supplements can't offer, capture that and make a grand game out of it. to make the game as awsome as it is on the field you'd need great audio otherwise it would just be another shooter, you need to feel like your on the field ball splatering on your bunker as you enemy attempt to supres you with the hope of advanceing to the next bunker, or make a mad dash for the snake. there is so much to be said and catured abou the world of paintballing it's one of the awsomest sports, and you don't have to play to love the gameplay elements that would be able to be captured in the game. just think if they actually had a sprint buten that would allow you to hall actual @$$ barely any games have a sprint speed worth notecing. a awsome slide feture would make running worth it to slide into cover, while snapping off a few crazy shots trying to lane some people right off the break, god the possibilities are so endless that my mind would explode if i thought of them all. i'm blown away that no one has ever tried this it's so simple, you find some nerds who love competetive ball and hook them up with a great developement team and wala a great an memorable experience, there could be online tournaments and clans all over the place, made up of paintball teams that want to hone their skills on and off the field. and kick but unreal syle single player eperience as you lead your team through the different tourneys, finally makeing it to the nationals. wow. you'd have to do a job on the AI though to make the whole thing believeable. if there was some one who looks like the have the truel to life AI down its the guys makeing brothers in arms, they have different ai setings between newbs and hard core noncoms who've seen it all. or valve, but they have vivendi all over them right now so i'd wait and see. but to any one who loves games and has played a good deal of paintball, the blaring question is how can this level of awsomeness never been captured before. how? and the best thing, no contraversy atached.
