Advantages: Amazing game zones, friendly marshals, high adrenaline fun Disadvantages: Quite expensive, didn't last long enough!
I went to a Delta Force paintball site in Maidenhead, near Reading, for my mates 18th a couple of weeks ago. His dad had booked us in online but after finding out that those VIP tickets are cheaper (and you get more free paintballs!) he cancelled the booking through the booking office and bought a couple of books of tickets. We turned up at around 9am and had to fill out a registration form. We were then issued our equipment. This consisted of a ... ...sure if it was with Delta Force or not) and I cannot express how much things have changed since then. Back then, the game zones mainly consisted of a few barrels and barricades in a muddy woodland and you were given some highly unimaginative objective to complete. Still fun but nowhere near what it is today. We played 5 game zones that day (ten actual games in total). That included: - The Black Pearl (A bomb the base game, where the base is a 70ft ...

Advantages: Great fun, Thrilling and Awesome. Disadvantages: Expensive and game fields are small.
...new annual paintball meet in Delta Force. We headed for the Beechwood field.
- - - THE COST - - -
The tickets cost me just short of £100, but I got 24 tickets for that. In order to book, you have to buy the first 100 paintballs at the full price of £10 per person. But I sold the tickets to the people that came (3 of them) for £20 a piece, so that was good.
The paintballs on the day cost £6 per 100, or if you buy 2500 at once, you get them for ... ...not be true of all delta force paintball fields though.
- - - THE STAFF - - -
All of the staff were friendly, but I think the head honcho there seemed a little angry all day long, which wasn't a nice feeling. All the marshals ranging from young to old were very helpful seem willing to assist with any issues you may have.
- - - THE LOCATION - - -
The field is located in Beechwood, Birmingham and is very easy to get to. You can get a train to the ...

Delta Force operate one of the largest paintball theme parks outside the United States, establishing themselves in 1989. They have 20 paintballing sites all over the UK, with more sites planned. Delta Force state they have hosted paintballing events for royalty, and have entertained well known people such as: Shane Richie, Mark Owen, Jamie Theakston, Harry Hill, Hugh Laurie, Don Joly, Damon Hill, Ainsley Harriet, and the entire Chelsea Premiership ... ...you are 'geared' up the Delta Force marshals come around the groups placing different coloured tape around your left arm to distinguish which team you are in. Once this was done everyone was called around a stage to listen to a safety brief provided by a CD over a tannoy, once completed a marshal went over some aspects of the safety brief to ensure everyone understood what was happening and what was expected. I thought this was very well done, it ...

Advantages: Gr8 scenarios, FULL head protection and body armour! Disadvantages: 20+ of their sites in the UK - wish there were 10 times as many.
I played at Delta Force in Surrey last weekend and had an absolute blast. It was the third time I had been paintballing, and I won't go anywhere else but Delta Force in future.
I had thought that all paintball sites were pretty much the same, but this just isn't the case. One word could be used to sum up Delta Force - Quality! The game zones were first rate:
1. Giant stone pyramid with tunnels and big (4m high zombie statues). I think it was called ... ...I read another review on Delta Force which said it wasn't as good as the 'bigger' operator called 'Skirmish'. Hmmmmm .... I have played at Skirmish Lasham and it was OK, but it was small and a bit run-down when compared with Delta Force - and the game zones were not a patch on those at DF. Plus at Skirmish I got the head-wound of all time - it was still throbbing a week later. That could NOT happen at Delta Force. Sometimes maybe it's best to go ...

Advantages: Fun Disadvantages: Rip off prices in boiler suits
Ive used Delta Force Homewood site many occasions and only on the last time i saw it for what it really is - yes its fun but its such a rip off! i understand they have to cover costs but not by THAT much! we bought three smoke grenades - non worked (hence why the manager NEVER actually demonstrates them properly unlike other centres) - not only being charged £3.50 for them - i later discovered that i could purchase them singuly for 50p each or cheaper ... ...cost us 5-6p each...and my friend attempted to buy me some tickets for my birthday but got ripped off - it was £5 entry - which is good - followed by a compuslery £10 for 100 paintballs per person when its normally £6!!! £15 just to get in the door and 100 paintballs? i dont think so! if you go to paintball discounts online (same site different price) you get in for £4.99 per person with no catches and then your first 100 paintballs is for £5/6 not ...

Delta Force - Zuluwood.
We bought a VIP ticket from a woman saying it was the cheapest way to go paintballing. Me and 6 other people went and between us we spent over £300. It was very very expensive. We went early February, probably not the best time to go but our first problem was parking on the bog of a car park. I only have a Corsa and it is not designed for driving through 2 feet of mud and slutch. Everywhere was just mud and water, even in ... ...Could they not afford a few flags for people to get out of the mud or at least a better car park so people don't have to navigate swamp like holes. In one scenario the gun failed and one of the marshalls sent me to the other marshall who sent me back to the original marshall. By the time I got the gun fixed the 100 balls I had put in had fallen out of the end which was a rountine thing actually, and the "game" had finished. Beware the BBQ it is only ...

Quick review of Delta Force Paintball
i was very disapointed with it, we got there a 9.15 'prompt' as it states on their letter and we stood around not being told wot 2 do til gone 11 o clock.2 many people there to enjoy it,not with the group of people you go with, and people not abiding by the rules so shooting u close range resulting in alot of pain and huge bruises. the only thing i would say is if your a lad and into 'playing army' shooting people and dont mind the pain then ull enjoy it, but anyone will any doubt, dont bother.or go to a different one. ...

Advantages: In good positions in the country and friendly staff Disadvantages: Skirmish Paintball seem to have better sturctured games
Delta Force Paintball are clearly one of the few big paintball organisations in the UK, but their agressive pricing structure to get you through the door is a bit of a misleading piece of marketing.
Who in their right mind is going to think that paintballing is going to be a really cheap day out ? Yet, Delta Force try to encourage such thinking !! Compare a days paintballing to any other extreme fun day out and the REAL prices are comparable. There ... ...up in Scotland with great Paintballing sites in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
In my opinion, and after visiting around 5 Delta Force venues, the Skirmish Paintball guys win for better game play, fair and upfront pricing for the day, rest facilities - (Skirmish Norwich Paintball is very unique!) and locations. ...

Advantages: Really exhillarating, lots of fun, different scenarios and safe, great for groups Disadvantages: Paintballs are VERY expensive and you use them up to easily
Paintballing is very fun! Delta Force is very good!
Delta force give you all the equipment when you enter; overalls, full head masks, hoppers (to store paintballs) but they don't give you the actual gun until you are in THE ZONE. My friends and I have been going to delta force for the past three years and they have never let us down. They provide you with all the safety gear and give you a briefing.
When you first enter THE ZONE they give you your ... ...All the scenarios are amazing with bridges, barracades and even castles and tanks in some. Its so fun to play even if you do get hit !! The one problem probably is being trigger happy. You realize your out of the ever so expensive paintballs in the second out of 12 zones. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD GO IT MAY BE PAINFUL AT TIMES FOR YOU AND YOUR WALLET BUT IT IS MASSIVLY FUN!! ...

Advantages: Great fun, great game zones, great staff! Disadvantages: Quite expensive, quite painful!
I went to a Delta Force paintball centre in Cobham, Surrey a few weeks ago for my boyfriends best mates birthday. I had never been before and at first I was very nervous about going as I heard that it was very painful. It was quite a sunny day so all the guys were very excited. After registering, getting our equipment given to us (which included a boiler suit, helmet, a "battle pack" and some much needed body armour!) we had a safety talk and got ... ...but after a couple of games I got hit and realised that it wasn't anywhere near as painful as I had heard. After that I had a great day shooting up my friends. There was a wide variety of game scenarios, the staff was very friendly and the lunch was pretty good! The only down side that we had was that the paintballs were quite expensive but in all honesty I think it was definately it! A brilliant day out, If your struggling for ideas on what to do ...
