nah, I know a lot about video games, and I know about paintball. Video games have a "lead" feture in them. At lest most FPS do. You kill a bad guy and go over to his dead body, then anouther bad guy, you kill him, and go to his body, befor you know it your walking threw a building completing a mission. In paintball you have to use you'r brain a bit more. There really can't be to much that can be used in video games to improve your paintball game. Maby leading a target, or some movment skills, but there really isn't any thing. Even the "tactics" in video games are developed for the player

Have you played Delta Force:Black Hawk Down yet?That game gets hard.Sometimes it gets even set on easy.You have to clear rooms,take out enemys from tight places and much more.I think that you might like it.I bought it at Wal-Mart for $10.

the most it can do is help you read different angels quickly, and better and eye coordination.

btw-im talkin multiplayer, singleplayer is designed for you to eventually win, multi is much harder

uummm.... what about from a strategic / planning stand point? Ghost Recon, Battelfield II /III for instance.. (if you play xbox live or something similar)... MAY help teach you to work together with other individuals to take over an objective or hold an objective. Some games out there you have to plan.. position your guys... know when to fall back...or push forward. Maybe games can help in these areas.

From a shooting standpoint... nah.. probably not..
