Defcon Paintball

so i went to this place around idk february 17, 2014? because my friend wanted me to come so badly. now i was the child of two parents whom were stricter than anyone so going to such a place was very THRILLING AND FUN.
anyways, how did i find this place?
it was alright. i didn’t necessarily have TOO MUCH fun. idk i just felt like it was too expensive and omg i just felt so intimidated because there were actual people who brought like their own machine guns or whatever the hell. (it just blasts a crap ton of paintballs at you) SO YEAH VERY INTIMIDATED AND SCARED. half the time i wasn’t aware of what to do (i couldn’t hear the instructions too well for the games) also, after getting shot on my poor index finger i was just scared to go out anymore LOOL IT BRUISED SO BADLY AND HURT LIKE A MOFO OMFG. some mother trucker blasted me on the face. i felt it graze the top of my head. thank the lord for helmets.
oh yeah, at first my friend and his friends brought their own paintballs (which of course is not allowed) legit used a few and the people in charge went to search the people who had brought them in LOL I HAD ONE IN MINE AND I WAS LIKE SCARED TO DEATH BECAUSE WHAT IF THEY BLAMED IT ALL ON ME LIKE ??? HOMEGIRL covered it the best i can and i passed inspection thank the lord… i legit felt like a criminal. is this how criminals feel when they have a piece of evidence they can’t just get rid of easily ?!? anyways … i ended buying 100 paintballs which i never ended up using (i believe they were like $ 30 – 50) but still a rather enjoyable and ok experience here
would i come here again?
probably not but i mean if y’all bois and girls like pain and the sickening feeling of blasting people then go right ahead
overall, ok place.
**the counter guy was pretty rude watch out

Purchased a Groupon ($ 30 for 4 people. didnt include jumpsuit rental) to check out Defcon Paintball. We had a blast, had a group of 12 of us go together. They were very informative, gave us a mini safety instruction and had games running one after another. We ended up playing 4 games with our 100 paintballs. You could purchase more but we’re selective with whom we shot we didn’t just go willy-​nilly in there lol. Anyway, it was alot of fun, great activity to get a group out to have a good time or even for a work event to build teamwork etc..

I went here with my girlfriend and it was fun but it was kind of small, I was expecting something bigger. The people were nice and the price was worth it but for next time I would go to a bigger place. It was really hot because it’s a small place and you have to wear the mask for safety. If you were to go here I would purchase the overalls, luckily I did buy them otherwise It would have been a mess. It’s an okay place.

An absolutely pathetic excuse for a paintballing facility.
When they have deals, the prices are reasonable. They usually don’t have deals though, so the prices tend to be ridiculous.
During our (myself and seven other friends) match, I tagged numerous people on the other team. However, dishonesty is rampant here, as is the case in many games of paintball. That’s what the refs are for though, right? Wrong. The referees here are complete idiots. I tagged one guy six times, right in front of the ref, before I had to yell at the ref to get him out of the game for cheating. One time I was tagged, and I raised my arms to signal that I was out. I turned my back to go back to my side of the field, and was hit like 10 more times in the back. I looked at the ref, who would not say shit, as I was still being tagged while my hands were up. I had to walk over to the other team, and yell at them because they had no idea what it means when somebody’s hands are up. When somebody’s hands are up, they are hit, and you do not hit them; this is common knowledge. An opposing team of fucktards and a retarded referee that would not do shit, not a good combination.
The arena was absolutely pitch black and grimy. It didn’t feel like a paintball arena, it felt like quicksand. My friends and I could not see for the life of us.
Find someplace better, do not waste your money here.

Had a good time there but it’s a small field. If you’re okay with that then you’ll have a great time. Staff could have done a better job controlling people — people not putting their safeties on and shooting before the game started, etc.
But all in all a well-​run place and a good value for the money.

Did not have a fun time here. Compared to the outdoor Downsview location which they closed down recently, this remaining indoor location was dark with too much sand (which gets in your shoes and paintball gun).
I came here with friends only because I had left over Teambuy vouchers remaining. There were too many people with unorganized staff making us play silly games (we ended up getting hit by our team behind us rather than the opposing team). The paintball guns were crappy and jam very easily making it difficult to make those critical shots. I was hit in the back of the head at close range which gave me a little concussion (the helmets don’t protect the back of your head).
Not recommended. The outdoor location was much better than this. Too bad it closed down for whatever reason.

This is a continuation of my unfortunate Defcon Outdoor review (Basically, despite what the website and pre-​recorded phone message said, the Outdoor field is actually permanently closed until a new location is found.) Background: We are not hardcore players, but have played in a few Toronto indoor fields so we have some experience and perspective.
Field:
Sand floor
Low ceiling
Concrete and barrel obstacles
Small area, maybe 3 – 4 school buses long and 1 ½ school buses wide.
One main light source from window and some over hanging lights.
Borders of field made of heavy netting.
Air is humid and stuffy just like other sand fields.
We were surprised and encouraged by the number of people. The waiting room looked clean and well lit and the store had a decent selection. We slapped down our $ 29.99 admission/​rental + 4.99 coverall (+taxes) and signed up to play.
The field is more like a speed ball format with no buildings. However, it is not a good field for a large number of people (+25). I did like the available concrete obstacles/​cover, but for the people starting on the opposite side of the entrance the outside light made playing uneven. The outside light provided glare so the side with the light on their backs had an advantage for half the field. Granted, you could say this is part of the field design.
They could improve quite a bit by not skimping on little things like:
1) Paper towels
With a sand-​based field you probably would want to provide players with Paper Towels so they can regularly clean off their goggles to help avoid scratches. My goggles at least were maybe in midlife and no longer that clear.
Not only that, but we are taking up staff time when we need to go up every time for rationed paper towels. Our sandy coveralls do not treat the goggles well.
2) Team armbands/​identifiers
The field was quite small with some nice concrete and barrel barriers, but there were a large number of people on the field. A few minutes into a game you realize waitasec «the only way to tell if they are the enemy is if they are facing you».

This place was super fun. Yes its small, but well run, and great deals!
On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday’s its half price paintball.
So $ 15 for admission, mask rental, gun rental and 100 paintballs. Females get free chest protectors.
Then additional paintballs are also half price.
Went with the wife and some friends, and we all had a good time. Turnaround times for games was pretty quick. 1 game every 20 mins.
The players who know how to play were also really good, showing us spots where to go, helping to protect us and explaining to us the game.
