I've been invited to a paintball party, and, honestly... I'm scared.
The closest I've been to anything like this is playing TF2. Yeah, I'm cool. :smug:
What happens? Is it like Capture the Flag, or elimination, or what?
Does it hurt? How many hits can you take before you "die"?
What do I wear? So many questions.
I realise that some of the questions above may depend on which place I go to, but try to answer those that you can. It would be appreciated.
Also, tell your most [b][highlight][i][u]BADASS[/u][/i][/highlight][/b] paintball stories.
What you do depends on the place you go.
It hurts a bit, depending on where you're hit. If you're hit even once, and the paintball explodes, you're out.
You wear as thick clothing as you want.
All these questions are answered numerous times on many websites :colbert:

It's fun though.
Sometimes the paint balls don't explode and it's like getting hit by a stone at 100mph
I got two unbroken hits on my nuts. It hurt.
So here's my advice: Don't run out shouting insults at your friends, when you have only 5 paintballs left and when your one of the last few left.
I like to wear oven trays over my whole body.

Thanks. Will they give me like a jumpsuit or something? Will my clothes get all painty?

Ahahah... Can't wait. :<
I think you just play a game that lasts an certain amount of minutes, then when the game is over they count the number of times you got hit. Guy with the least hits win. And yes, it hurts.
Wear a cup.
You [b]DO NOT[/b] want to get shot in the sack.

That would be good. Less downtime etc. :)

I don't uhm. Require... a cup.
And you will get a special suit. Also you will be in a open space which is around lets say 10x20 meters and it is filled with inflatable objects.
I was the last person alive, So I layed down my gun and ran to get the flag, I sprinted and strafed left and right, By the time the flag was in reach I tripped and did a half front-flip into some nettles, but I crawled to the flag and ran back, But I got shot in the head, I still get flash backs man.
Don't worry, it'll be okay.
It's pretty awesome, you get some adrenaline and stuff. Don't worry about face/nut hits, you get to wear special suits and masks. You'll like it for sure. Just don't be afraid to crawl and make huge leaps, everything goes.
I went about 2 years ago and I can honestly say it does not hurt so long as they explode, however there is a slight sting if they don't. When I went a paintball manged to get in someones mask and went in their eye lets just say they were not too well. The worst one is where it goes into your mouth through the breathing grill.....urgh. We did capture the flag, controll points, assination and another but I forgot.
Also to OP, I don't find it painful at all. And I've ate like 5 balls with my mask by the long times I was playing.

Okay, so there will probably be like multiple gametype things. Cool!

I'm going to be like the Scout. :smug:
I found some awesome cover and was teasing the shit out of the other team. Then from across the forest a paintball hits me square in the visor. My ears were ringing and I fell onto my ass. Luckily headshots didn't count as getting someone out and I continued.
And another time I was the last on the team and had some shit cover behind a tree with the whole enemy team shooting at me and hitting me, but because they didn't explode I wasn't out yet and it hurt like hell. Must have taken +50 paintballs that didn't explode. Eventually I surrendered.
Oh and another thing, if one of the workers go towards where you threw a smoke grenade shoot at them, we threw one it was still smoking and the worker picked it up and threw it away!

Wait, I had the masks with a special hard-breakable glass on the eyes. So basically, you breath through the holes on the mouth, and the other part is totally isloated.
My brother died when a paintball went through his mask and penetrated his skull

How many hits can you take before you "die"?

I suppose it is different depending on where you go. This one was in a forest, shit was epic. The place I went one hit and you had to go out, but if they don't burst just ignore it as there is no paint to prove it. There were a lod of crazy 30 year olds when I went too, funny times. If you good also you can turn a semi automatic into an automatic by fiddling with the gas valve.

If I could +rep you, I would. I really, really would :)
Take lots of money too. It was pritty cheap to get in, but then it was £10 (18 AUD) for 100 more paint balls, they took the toll on my wallet.
You should try and wear old clothes though if you can just incase some paint does manage to get past the overalls and what not.
