latest paintball weapons and gear to the hottest international
fields was crafted to place gamers in the most insane paintball

Executive Vice President of Operations for Majesco. "Greg
Hastings has been able to inject his passion and expertise
directly into the game, delivering the most authentic and
riveting paintball experience to date."
In Greg Hastings
Paintball 2, players take to the field in 12 global paintball
locations, each containing three to six different fields. Seven
single-player game modes challenge the most experienced
"ballers" to hone their skills and then test them against up to
19 others in seven different multiplayer game types.
Whether playing alone
or against others, Greg Hastings Paintball 2 ups the ante with
game-changing weather conditions and field hazards including
rain, wind and fog. While the difficulty level may have
increased, so have the tools at the players' disposal as the
game features an improved map editor along with the hottest new
gear and weapons. When things are at their bleakest, players can
even use the all-new cheat meter that lets them avoid
elimination by successfully wiping away paint splatter before
they're caught.
Serious "ballers" can
even become general manager of their own 10-player team composed
of more than 100 professional and amateur paintball players.
Gamers can trade players, issue commands, and use their earnings
from the field to build each player's individual stats, so the
overall team is that much more competitive. The better the team
assembled, the more tournaments a player stands to win,
providing him with added cash to buy new gear, players and skill
upgrades.
Developed by Super X
Studios in collaboration with Greg Hastings himself, Greg
Hastings Paintball 2 is expected to release this September.
