What ever happened to seeing paint streams? Watching a ball break on your opponent is the most satisfying part of paintball, and new viewers should be able to partake...
I been saying this forever, in my opinion live barrel cams or maybe on the mask is what the sport needs to move forward, it would make it so much more entertaining to watch, just watch some of the videos that greenspan has posted playing with a barrel cam, Moto GP does it, F1 does it, so why not paintball.
Yeah that would be dope, totally reasonable for post event content since they could use any gopro/r7 type camera but there is no way they can do that with live feed barrel cams on every player and the webcast is geared toward live content. Maybe in the future on the Finals remastered ones they do they could add it, that would be sick!
+David Ronnow not sure if you ever watched the old videos on Pb films, but they had the cameras behind the players, which means they got shot more but the footage of seeing the paint streams was amazing. This was before GoPro even
This is fantastic to see on YT! I know that GoSports is handling the content now and sporadic games have been uploaded but I swear that Sina Azmoudeh had indicated that all the NXL games would eventually be released to YT (it was some time last season, on the PbN forums. It was before GoSports was involved and when the NXL was replacing the PSP for the Pro league). There has to be a point where the revenue falls off from GoSports and could roll over to YT to capture any additional $$$ (ad revenue, YT metrics etc). I get GoSports may not want to release the current 2016 season due to their customer/subscription base but why not post up the 2015 season (or older content in general)? The NXL has a channel and it looks like GoSports has one that they could upload to as well (heck keep funneling it through PbN). Just seems like lost potential not to mention that the sport could always use more publicity and awareness through social medias.
100% agree. live action I can see not posting but fuck even the xgames are on you tube the next week after the event. gosports keep hiding pro paintball!
you could play what ever place you want with any gun its more of what you feel more comfortable with if you feel like you would do better being a front play front
I have a tippmann 98 custom ACT with flat-line barrel. I know this isn't the best gun, but should i take off the flat-line barrel and use the stock 8 1/2 in' barrel for speed-ball? I know the flat-line barrel isn't really necessary for speed-ball but would it decrease performance? Thanks!!!
Depends, if you want to shoot longer ranges or not. The flat line barrel actually puts a back spin on the ball to increase range, I had a friend with one and when I shot it, it felt weird seeing the ball come out of the barrel like that. But it shot straighter further so it would be good in speedball for mayyyyyyybe a back player... and then again being a back player you need to shoot lots of paint... I wouldn't recommend playing speedball without a semi auto that you can walk the trigger as they can shoot a hell of a a lot faster
I'm thinking about starting to get into paintball and I have been looking at buying the spyder mr100. This would come with a mask, tank and helmet. So pretty much everything I need to get into paint balling, I have been looking on discount paintball and think that being only 100$ it's fairly cheap for what I get out of it. Any thoughts of why I should not buy this or things I should know, I'm only 14 if that makes any difference
My recommendation is to use a mask and run with the gun but use a 68 or 81 ci tank my recommendations for a budget baller is to get a valken tank and a empire helix with a shiny new lense for the extra buck you get way more and when your ready to upgrade to speedball if you decide to use a empire vanquish gt with a prophecy z 2 or a dye rotor and wear a empire jersey with either exalt thrasher or empire prevail pants ( i wear thrasher pants with all exalt freeflex padding and i use an empire vanquish gt and a prophecy z2 with the classic empire carbon fibre tank and the empire evs mask although i often use a ninja tank with the breast cancer awareness tank and i keep the breast cancer awareness hopper wrap on my hopper" i suggest empire for guns and gear and exalt for other gear except for a pod pack use a empire pod pack and i personally prefer a three pod pack so i can play snake effectively but make sure you always carry atleast six barrel swabs so you always have one
hey i love paintballing and i need some tips and i want to go to you University i am 15 and i 4 year of high school and i hope i get better so i can play for you answer bac
Try to get yourself a speedball gun and an effective hopper and some paintball pants and elbow pads and knee pads then focus on a good mask i use a empire evs then practise crawling and shooting and keeping your gun up when sliding then practuse switching hands and snap shooting on both sides of bunkers and shooting acucrately then after you master that approach us at empire army if your interested and from canada
I don't mean to sound rude, but I would not like to be sponsored by Empire and having to use their hoppers. They're good in all but I'd rather use a rotor or a spire...
If they were smart, that would have to make this sport more interesting. Like paintball is a dead sport and it's sad. Like put go pros on the masks, make animations like in football. Idk, but come on
51:52 goldmen gets shot in the elbow paused it right as it breaks n sprays!!! lol CHECK OUT!! & it was the last point to such a piss off when i see stuff like that
it wouldn't matter really. they would've won the point anyways since he wasn't the one to push the buzzer. They would've traded out and then that would leave the rest of impact to push the buzzer. same result. @chris boyder
So.........? What are they painting ? It's paint.. ? Ball? ? ? Oh so there painting a ball Why a ball ? They like playing with balls ? So how many balls is to many balls ? ? I don't like playing with balls ! ! More like balloons ! ! The bigger the better ! ! Much better than playing with balls
Thanks to Go Sports, we have a full match from the NXL Dallas (or Texas) Open!

I agree 100%
Ya I wanna see some live barrel cams or something lol

I love the drone footage
Excellent! This is great to see!
Glad to know I'm not the only one that does that sometime. 22:12 GG

Sometimes pro paintball is kinda hard to watch and keep track of whats going on but the overhead drone shots are really good
This is amazing. Thank you Pbnation
Where can we see the rules for these matches? (full set of rules. From top to bottom, even obious things)
I'm now just waiting for a player full sprint to hit a drone.. but which one will win? AND WHO WILL LOSE!
I have the dye proto rail 2013 edition, so would it be good for being a back player or to push dorito side?
you could play what ever place you want with any gun its more of what you feel more comfortable with if you feel like you would do better being a front play front
would be perfect if we could also mix up raw close ups

Paintball NEEDS first person footage on Pro matches.
nobody is going to want to wear that monstrosity in a pro match. It might become forced but they will hate having it on them.

The thumbnail mask is the empire evs
When thy use the drones I always imagine the drone getting shot out of the air by an annoyed player

Old habits die hard, or in this case not at all.

+Drew Nelson empire Evs
Poop Man oops auto correct
DOOD WHERE TF ARE YOU SHOPPING!? the mask is 160 on amazon!

I heard they are super heavy tho
+MiamiPB what are they called?
Empire EVS mask, they are 500 with the HUD and 100 and something without the HUD
+MiamiPB well I don't need a bud so I'll go cheap, haha. thank you very much
Same here, I can't afford to pay 500 for a mask, but its pretty cool what it can do hahaha
If they were smart, that would have to make this sport more interesting. Like paintball is a dead sport and it's sad. Like put go pros on the masks, make animations like in football. Idk, but come on
Mikey Copeland it would be really great if paintball was a popular sport
