I played fairly regular about 6 years ago. We had a team at the office. We would go out and play on the weekends at one of the local paintball fields. It was fun for awhile. I had a Spyder TL and a PGP. Most of the other guys in my team were equipped about the same. We didn't mind playing some of the other teams there, but it got to the point where the teams were getting younger and younger. Not exactly fair especially when my team was mostly 20-somethings and 30-something olds. I think what did it in for my team was the younger kids(12 to 14 year olds) would show up with $1500+ paintball markers, full auto stuff and cases of paint. We tried to help and teach these kids the game, but mostly they just wanted to come out there and spray paint. And their parents kept giving them this equipment and the paintballs to feed it. These kids just wanted to sit in place and mow down the whole field whenever another team would try to advance on them. It just took the fun out of it. Several of us changed jobs and then after that, nobody really had any desire to keep the team going.
I still have my Spyder TL and take it out in the back yard occassionally just to play, but other than that it hasn't seen much use. I think my brother still has his Tippman Pro-something too. Ah well, if anybody ever asks if I want to go out and play paintball with them one Saturday, I already have the equipment and can be ready to go in a matter of minutes.
