Saturday began the collision between these two titans , a band of resistance fighters had banded together and marched into Fayetteville to meet the Goliath that is the Chinese PLA head on . Paintballers from all over the country came together for this battle , ready to claim true control in the land of the free . Their weapons primed , protective equipment donned and their bodies fueled with passion , pride and possibly an energy drink . Never before has the United States faced such a formidable opponent on their own soil . As the starting horn ripped apart the air , players tore through the ground and brush with bloodlust in their hearts . Their blood boiled at the sight of their enemies and the battle had truly begun . This paintball game included something for every player : the gunners battered their opponents , the runner grabbed for any prop they could find and the puzzle masters set to work to try and overcome anything Mission Masters may throw their way . Having only 50 minutes to complete the tasks set in their first set of mission documents , players scrapped and fought for every inch they could gain . The Americans came in hard and fast , quickly stomping out the Chinese front runners . They gained control of the territories and absolutely refused to give an inch . The Chinese may have started off in smaller numbers and may have been battered by the Americans but the situation was quickly turned around throughout the day .
The Chinese would almost completely flip the script on the Americans the very next mission . The tug-o-war lasted all of the first day of the Operation . With both teams not willing to back down and fighting harder and harder each mission it seemed as though the game was even in points . This was not the case , the Americans had put the most points on the board but the Chinese were right behind them .
Mission Masters Scenario Paintball has really begun to take hold with the Black Ops paintball families and teams . Their scenario events are not mere opportunities to just shoot someone but more a chess match of wits , skill and strength . They employ a noncontinuous play platform , meaning their game does not continue to go as the day revolves . Their games are broken up into 5 missions throughout the first day and 3 missions the next . Each mission is 50 minutes concentrated on smaller portions of the field , this presents more of a challenge to the command staff and more intense firefights amongst players , a paintball players ’ paradise . The missions have accompanying briefing documents that are given to the commanders or can be scanned to your cell phone , including a map for that mission . You have 5 different challenges to try and accomplish for each mission , all complementing the ongoing story line . The five missions are Primary , Secondary , Territory , Black Ops and Intel . Each of these have variously assigned objectives and accompanying point values for completing these objectives .
The territory challenges are apex markers with colored tips that you must flip to your color or placing your country ’ s flag in the appropriate stanchion . The primary and secondary missions for this particular game ranged from protecting / capturing / delivering VIPs , stealing warheads or ordnance , hacking mortars and mines , calibration or disarming vital missiles and so much more . The Mission Masters team spends much of their off time developing theme related props that are interactive and will immerse the paintball player into the scenario fantasy world .
