New Hit Compilation video is up! First games I got to play with Planet Eclipse MG100, which is proving to be a winner. Shooting both First Strikes and roundball flawlessly, this thing is going to change magfed playing for the better :). Video is combined from several games from summer of 2019, got some nice hits and very nice footage of incoming paint also, right in the red dot :), enjoy! youtube.com/watch...

New video up from Magfed Mayhem game organized by PH Vanguard at PH Paintball fields near Heinola, Finland. Nice weather and nice sized crowd (they tend to go together of course) and the field was used in a new way, combining everything together. Got some nice hits on camera and also some footage of incoming paint, pretty rare :). Only hick-up for the day was a faulty camera cable, so didn’t get that much zoom camera footage. And the opponents weren’t that nice, they tended to shoot you :). www.youtube.com/watch...

Hit Comp 14 video got some nice weather games, playing is almost always fun, but even more fun when it is not raining :). We played a lot of control point type of games with respawns at that time and I grew to like them a lot. Lots of action and the team that plays together better tends to win, so it pushes even new players to actively works as a unit, so what is not to like :). I added some “I am hit” graphics for this video, what you think are they useful? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-oiSbzj9cs [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="0-oiSbzj9cs"] If you got feedback, questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice (where this blog was shared) or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

I got some game time with DYE DAM for Hit Compilation 13 video, nice summer weather and nice games. We tested some new game modes and props, very different from normal games and it keeps the interest up. DYE DAM is a one smooth shooting machine. The default magazines for it work extremely well, but the drawback is the low ball count when compared to 20 round magazines, 10 + 10 balls in two channels means lots of mag changing. On longer distances it is kinda ok, but close quarters mean that you are in trouble, especially when you are alone and the opponents know what they are doing. At the time of making the video there wasn’t much choices for magazines, but now that is changing with 20+ ball magazines in plans. The coming of the Planet Eclipse MG100 magfed gun that uses the same magwell will probably also accelerate new desings. For this video I added some movie type sound effects for the slow motion parts, hope you like them :). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mweyKhqBmRc [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="mweyKhqBmRc"] --------------------------------- If you got feedback, questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice (where this blog was shared) or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

I think these games in the Hit Comp 12 were the first ones we used shields in PH Paintball field. How you feel about using them in paintball? Of course if one is looking for realism they are so far off the mark, light plexiglass or wooden shields making players partly invulnerable. But they sure make good force multipliers, giving new possibilities for moving between bunkers even when attackers and defenders are in about equal sized teams.   We have used shields mainly in game modes where one side is clearly in attacking role and the can use the shields if they like. I think we tested defenders using them, but that got fast forgotten, kinda pointless when defenders don’t need to move and they can use the shields just to improve the normal bunkers. Also the size of the shields makes a big difference. Using smaller riot shields has worked pretty well for our games, they are useful but not too powerful. Suurpeli type big shields (I think maximum is two square meters for those) in smaller games would be bad. They are pretty well balanced with 100+ players per team kind of games, but just one or two shields in smaller game would wreak havoc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYcTKuziJho [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="OYcTKuziJho"] If you got feedback, questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice (where this blog was shared) or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

PH Paintball has been adding a lot of new game modes over the years. I think some of the games in this video were the first ones where we tested what has become known as the “Barrel Game,” a variation of control points around the field. Respawns and several objectives in the middle of the field make for interesting games, where you really need to communicate with teammates to actually get anything done. This game mode also teaches to recognize the moments when you need to move to take advantage of the situation. It sometimes gets a bit painful also, when you need to push against opponents who know what they are doing :). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrFvkkzE5-c [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="XrFvkkzE5-c"] --------------------------------- If you got feedback, questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice (where this blog was shared) or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

I got some indoor playtime for Hit Compilation 10 video near Kuopio, Finland. Games were very straight forward, basically whatever the mission was, either you were defending a choke point or trying to attack thru one, so most of the time everyone knew where opponents were and no room to maneuver. It got boring very fast (how many times you want to rush to the exact same spot and get shot by the same guy), but when defending it of course gave some nice shots to make video with :). Outdoor game footage is from early spring, so in typical Finnish style everything is pretty grey, no green stuff up yet. I think some shots are from Mekano Cup, a tournament for mechanical markers only (no batteries in hoppers either), which was fun to take part with magfed marker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF-P5mLYRxw [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="wF-P5mLYRxw"] --------------------------------- If you got questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice (where this blog was shared) or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

Hit Comp 8 video got made from early spring games, still some snow in the ground. And wet and slippery, of course :). It is refreshing watching these a couple of years after making them, PH Paintball fields have changed so much (and often) after these. It really makes a difference when people put effort to changing things up and keep playing interesting. I added new hit markers in this video, trying to pinpoint whenever the actual splatmark can be seen in camera. Which is not actually all the time, sometimes just a couple of frames of the video and seen only in slow motion. What do you think, a good addition or unnecessary?Some of the hits are recorded with new zoom camera, can you tell the difference? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v9emvNjMLQ [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="2v9emvNjMLQ"] --------------------------------- If you got questions or ideas for blog posts/videos, please comment here or in social platform of your choice where this blog was shared or use email info@magfed.fi Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

Hit Comp 7 video got material from plenty of games from autumn, winter and spring of 2016-2017. At that time PH Paintball still had those two fields (third was added later), so forest and container field material in abundance. I think this was the first video with some new graphics, opponent indicator is different and I added hit marks also. Do you like these compared to previous versions? I still recall the blue shelled winter paint we got that year, it was…challenging. It broke pretty well on opponents, but some balls just had a mind of their own, going this way and that. Still plenty of hits for video though, enjoy :). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVFeFAzBpbU [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="LVFeFAzBpbU"] --------------------------------- Links are affiliate, if available/possible.   Less

Some rainy day games in Hit Compilation 6 video, played in PH Paintball fields near Heinola, Finland. Using the T15 all the time again, I really enjoy this gun. Mask camera unavoidably got some water drops, but scope got stayed pretty clear. In the part played on clear day the scope cam got some strange settings and I couldn’t get them sorted in post production. The colors are totally unnatural, but hits can still be seen :). (By the way if you are wondering why I jump over some parts of the video series, that is due to that I play with non-magfed guns also. Check out the the complete playlist here.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ermqRTZq6e0 [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="ermqRTZq6e0"] --------------------------------- Links are affiliate, if available.   Less
