Phantom | Paintball Games
Phantom is a distinctive paintball game because it is a game of multiple eliminations, and a game where players actually change sides. This game is made up of two teams of unequal strength. The ratio is up to the event organizers, but you select one phantom for every 3-5 players, depending on how challenging you want a match to be. The designation of both sides are known, with the players wearing armbands on both arms. The phantoms get a 2:30 minute head start on the players to get into the sniper positions. The objective of the game is to play until one entire team has been eliminated.
When a phantom tags a player, the player removes his arm bands and becomes a phantom. Phantoms can only be eliminated, they will not be turned into players by being tagged. The only way to eliminate a phantom is to mark him in the head. The last team standing wins phantom paintball games. Games like these are popular on fields like Constant Action in Austin Texas, and Wolf Hill Paintball in Gallatin Tennessee. Paintball games like phantom and reinforcements spice up the players who are competing every week and on the weekends too. Both of these types of games involve multiple eliminations of multiple life games.
In the game reinforcements, players who have been tagged do not have to exit the playing field, but can return back to their flag station, waiting to get reanimated. One player on each team wears a special armband, and he's the only player that can go back to the flag station to get reinforcements. Either by getting marked, or by voluntarily returning to the flag station, he can re-emerge back into game action, and take any other players he wants with him. Players do not have to leave the flag station with the designated reinforcer, they may elect to stay behind and defend the flag station if they choose to. Players tagged in the flag station are generally out of the game. There are some similarities and differences between phantom and reinforcements. One significant difference is game duration. Reinforcements games are usually 30 minutes long while phantom games generally have no time limits. Also, phantom games involve players changing sides following an elimination while this is not the case for reinforcements. Check with your local recreational field to see if phantom paintball games are available in places like Buddy Ringo Paintball in Leitchfield Kentucky, and Area 51 Paintball in Craig Colorado. These fields promise to offer all day action and fields full of paint from an afternoon of exciting daytime action.
Add Down But Not Out to the list of other exciting paintball games where paintball splattered players can get a second life. This is another game where a tagged player is rescued by one of his own teammates. But in this game, a hit player calls himself out and kneels down or sits in the spot he was hit. He also puts a sock over is marker barrel to indicate that he is hit and in need of a rescue. A tagged, or "waiting" player can be brought back into the game when a teammate taps him on the back of the head. Unlike the phantom paintball game, down but out players do not change sides, and players from both sides can be eliminated from the game.
