Rumors OF A High End Marker

ive been tryin to say the same things about speedball for along time, thanks you guys for gettin it out there, i hate how all the kids just starting paintball are goin strit for speed ball,wuts the fun in spray and pray? i hear ppl talk about all the big pros and teams but i hate hearin about that, id like to see team dynasty playin with all stock guns, that would be a real match, i realy respect those stock guys, there awesome and have excellent aim, playin stock is kinda like airsoft,(i dont play it much though) u have one or two shots at a time, you have to make those few shots count so in lamest terms...

Go WooDS BaLL!!

Boo SPeeD BaLL!!!

Ok first off, I'm gonna defend the game of speedball.  Speedball is a completely different gameplay than woodsball.  They are setup to be a very fastpace game.  It's on a small course and it makes you feel almost trapped and pinned down 24/7.  It's not about stealth at all, it takes agility, strategy, and, most of the time, a fast gun.

Stating this as much opinionated as possible, yes, I myself play both woodsball and speedball, but I think speedball gets your adrenaline pumping at a level that woodsball could never do.  Woodsball tactics are about opposite from speedball.  In woodsball you try to be as covert as possible and steathy, trying not to be spotted.  In speedball, your in a small course and you know where everyone is.

You guys are saying that woodsball is for men, let's see you hide behind those "bubble bunkers" getting shot at by guns shooting 25bps, you'd soil yourselves.  Hidding in some brush with a ghuille suit and a camo'd 98c, waiting for someone to walk by so you could "snipe" them out doesn't take all that much skill.  Stop saying that woodsball is for men, because just because you don't get all that dirty playing speedball, that doesn't mean they aren't afraid do get covered in mud.

I'm not saying that woodsball doesn't take any skill, it's just that the skill needed for woods/speedball are way different.  This is for you guys that say there's no need for guns that shoot 20+bps.  Most of you guys that play woodsball and occasionally play on speedball fields notice that if you try to shoot only when you have a clear shot, you usually get pwned out by the speedball players by their ropes of paint flying at you.  Guess why?  Because it works to shoot faster when your in a tight spot with people all around you.

As I have pointed out, speedball and woodsball are two completely different types of gameplay for the sport of paintball.  It takes different skills for the game you play.  All I ask is that you discontinue the stereotype that woodsball players are "more manly" than speedball players because you get dirtier.

Now for the topic of a new Tippmann "highend marker."  I hope that eventually they do sink their teeth into the game of speedball.  Also opinionated, I believe speedball is for the more serious paintball players, and Tippmann knows that's where the money's at.

Yes, Tippmann makes undisputedly the best woodsball markers on the market, but you can't just stay with the 98c or A5 forever.  The future means change, and change is what is needed in order to keep up with today's society.

Tippmann, I think most everyone would agree, is mostly a "beginner's gun", not trying to knock it's reputation but it is true.  Very good quality beginner's guns none the less, but if they make a new gun for speedball, and it's a success, which most likely it will be, considering Tippmann makes some of the most innovative products on the market (cyclone, r/t, etc.), The community of paintball will look at Tippmann in a whole new perspective.

Overall, I think the idea for a high end gun in the future will only aid Tippmann in the conquest to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!  Haha, just kidding, but it looks like a bright future for Tippmann, but of course, only time will tell.

Good luck to Tippmann if this rumor is in progress, and keep up the good work.

As for you that actually took the time to read this post, I hope I didn't waste your time or seem to bash woodsball, by no means do I try to, but anyway, thanks for reading! 

I bet if they release a new marker in the next year, it'll be around the holidays.

Rumers may be true

Heard it was supposedly a Timmy with a Tippmann body or some crap like that.

If the paintball world were in fact an actual planet, I would drop an EMP on it, destroying once and for all, all electronics on Planet Paintball.

*Sigh* R.I.P. Tippmann. Once you go down the road of building crappy electronics, there's no turning back.

I disagree with that I play speedball and I don't spray and pray I use my double trigger as a single man.
