Paintball 2 is a fast-paced virtual paintball game based on the Quake2 engine, with capture the flag, elimination, siege, and deathmatch (free-for-all) styles of gameplay. Players are split into two teams, armed with paintball guns, and head out to capture the other team's flag. One shot knocks a player out, and players must wait 60 seconds to respawn. To win a round, you must knock out the entire enemy team.
