Scenario Paintball

For those of you who are getting sick of the same old capture the flag and elimination games, you may want to look into scenario games. What’s a scenario game you ask; well it’s kind of hard to say specifically. You see, in a nut shell, scenario is just what its name suggests. It is a type of paintball that is played based on a certain scenario in which the opposing team or teams have to carry out set objectives in order to win. The reason I say its kind hard to say is because that scenario could be almost anything.
Scenario games generally take a long time to play out, most play for several hours on end. They can be based on anything and everything you could think of. In games with fewer people, one team of players could have to rescue hostages from a building while the other team tries to stop them. Others can include a vast number of players in which historical battles are reenacted.
One of the coolest things though, in my opinion, is the leniency on regulations. Now you still have your standard safety regulations, and velocity caps, but besides that it pretty much run what you brung. If you have a gun that can shoot a thousand balls per second on full auto, you can shoot a thousand balls per second on full auto. Now some games may not allow you to but from my experiences with scenario game this has been the case one hundred percent of the time.
Not only that but in some scenarios they even have tanks. That’s right, paintball tanks. Now whether they look identical to a tank is up to the designer, but that’s just one other example of the different spins that can be put on the game.

So far, from my experience scenario games do let you use anything you bring. Just like you said, be it your gun, or even to the extent of paint grenades, mines, and smoke grenades. However some people may get confused on the sometimes slight difference between scenario game and a big team game. Some big team games, are also very massive, however don't allow smoke grenades. Which I guess depends on the course you are playing at.
