And when it comes to games, apparently the realism of the physics engines matter, and it is of the utmost importance you do have destructable terrain, awesome graphics and so on.  Since this is the case, how can anyone like paintball?  If you can't take down walls, ride in vehicles, and blow stuff up, why would it be fun?  Besides this, you also usually don't get grenades.  How the heck can anyone play it?

Wouldn't paintball be better if you could blow up a wall, call in an airstrike and get killstreaks going?  Besides that, doesn't paintball really suck, because you can't play it on your couch laid back?  Hardcore gaming is supposed to be about doing what you want while moving as little as possible, right?

I play FPS's all the time and have played paintball and have no particular desire to play paintball again. It is not the culmination of every shooter fans fantasy's like you are making it out to be. Yes, I find it more fun to just sit on a couch and play games with my friends online.

Also, paintball could be more fun with those features you mentioned, we'll just never know because it isn't realistic.

I just love playing it in real life. :)

Stupid question comparing a video game to a sport that is compleatly different.

Paintball is awesome.

It has the perfect controls.

Wow is this some kind of rant towards the BF3 guys? What you're saying is just plain odd.

Richard, why are you doing this?

when you shoot a explosive at a object, depending on said object you want object to have some effect caused upon it. Its natural instinct from watching all those action movies. So destructible environments are needed to benefit the immersion of being a solider. Also the fact is that its cool to destroy stuff, and that is wired into every males brain some greater than others.

Call of Duty doesn't have destructible environments. There you go.

Paintball is so casual. Cowboys n injuns is where it's at. Paintballs aren't as painful as imaginary bullets.
