Yup Teej, thought it was cool for what it was. Pretty good empahsis on keeping things non military and promoting the "sport" of paintball. Plus for someone who hadn't seen pball before it might seem interesting enough for them to contact a site.
I agree with the comments about the commentary though, it didn't generate much excitement about the game, it was more like 2 people having a conversation then the odd "oh, that guy moved up....now where were we" kinda thing. It definitely wasn't exciting nu skool stuff like the Xgames kiddies will want or expect. But then the footage wasn't excactly killa moves all the time so I suppose they didn't have that to work with.
but its easy enough to change commentators from the generic Sky people.
Overall it turned out good, fair credit to the PA for the attempt. Of course it isn't perfect, but its also at least on there and if they feel they got value for their money then everyone's happy.
Will be very interesting to see how it differs from the Eurosport coverage Campaign has got.
