What Is Scenario Paintball?
Scenario players differ from speedballers and re-ballers in that winning and a high kill count aren't all that matter. The Scenario style of play is all about taking care of business while trying to move, fight, and communicate as a squad, much in the same way that real life military and law enforcement professionals do.
True scenario players try to maintain a standard of honor and integrity that most other forms of paintball do not typically adhere too. Scenario players are extremely helpful to new players, and treat them with the same respect as they do seasoned players, as they are the future of our sport, and that player may just end up watching your 6 in the next game.
Most scenario players tend to wear camo or other military style gear, as it adds to the realism for them.
They typically try to modify their markers to look more realistic, and to an extent, they limit the rate of fire of their markers to keep them closer to a real world rifles rate.
Oftentimes teams will utilize radios/headsets, and hand signals to communicate among their team during games. And some even go so far as to print out overhead satellite images of the fields, and mark out coordinates so they can give precise intel to the rest of their team during games.
Scenario players shine during what are called "Scenario Games. These large scale paintball games can span an entire weekend, 24 hours per day, and may have upwards of a few hundred players. Or in the case of the yearly D-Day game in Oklahoma, a few thousand players from all across the world.
In early fall of 2007, members of 2 online paintball forums, the X7og.net and the A5og.net, decided to finally try to organize a game for all of the southern california forum members to meet and get to know each other. So we held a private "meet and greet" game at Conquest Paintball Park . in Tajunga. All in all, some 20 members of the 2 forums showed up that day. Most of us had never met before in person, only through messages on the forums.
A few days later, one of the forum members, a few of us decided that we should try to form a team. Within days of announcing the formation of the new team on the forums, we were flooded with applications from players all over the southern California area.
We consist of players from every walk of life, and every possible ethnicity. We all play fair, and cheating in any way is not an option for Foxhound. All of our team members hold to a code of honor while playing, and we treat all players on the field with respect. Guests who have years of experience are treated with the same esteem and courtesy that we treat players who have never before picked up a marker.
How We Started
