Paintball as a sport has grown impressively over the last 2 decades that is why along with the increasing number of players, the types of paintball games have also developed as today there are several types of how this sport can be played. With this article we will offer a brief presentation of a few ways in which paintball is played nowadays.

Assassins - the paintball players stand in a circle along with their cards which have their names as well as a description of what their wearing. The card is passed to the player on the left by each participant. The referee will end eventually this procedure and after that every player takes the card and has one minute for hiding in the field. The player can shoot only the person whose name is on the card he holds. After he shoots him, he gets is card and the player that collects most cards wins.

Bounty Hunters - the "fugitive" player has only one minute to hide in the field before all the other players which stay together at the home base start searching for him. The fugitive can shoot the hunters in order to eliminate them. If the fugitive takes out all of the players or survives the time limit (15-20 minutes), he wins.

Snipers - balloons must be inflated and attached to trees and poles through the entire paintball field. The group must be divided into two teams - guards and snipers. The snipers have 10-15 paintballs and 3 minutes in order to hide wherever they want with the condition of not placing themselves within 30 paces of the balloon. The guards will start at one base with their backs towards the snipers and will have the same number of paintballs. The guards will win if they eliminate all the snipers. The snipers win if they eliminate the guards or if they pop all the balloons.

Necromancer - the teams are located on opposite sides of the field and in the middle there is an air horn. Each team has the possibility to bring back their players from the dead once by blowing the air horn. The game should be played for 20 minutes or so and the team with most players left after this amount of time wins.

Deathball - the teams will stay on opposite ends with a limited number of paintball (5 or so). The referee stays in the middle in order to quickly call people out and keep careful watch of time. The team with the most players to successfully make it across the field within one minute wins.

VIP - two bases must be established at opposing ends. Form two teams, position each on the opposing ends and choose a VIP. Establish a time limit, approximately 20 minutes. Make sure that both your VIP and the other VIP are known. The team that eliminates the opposing VIP wins.

Base Capture - form two bases at opposing ends and place a flag there. Form two teams and position them on both bases. The team that touches the opposing team flag wins or if they eliminate the rivalry team.

Capture the Flag - at this type of paintball, the team that captures the opposing team's flag wins. They also win if they eliminate the other team. It is very similar with the videogames "capture the flag" mode.
