HAPPY BIRTHDAY DP!!!
« on: July 28, 2008, 06:11:04 AM »
On July 31st 1998, the first ever public beta of Digital Paintball II was released. In 3 days, Digital Paint: Paintball will be 10 years old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!in 3 days time

Now, the reason I've made this post today, is that I was, as a GG ComRep, I was organising some celebration - a DM ladder and mapping contests scheduled to start on July 31st - but I won't be here for the next week and I therefore can't put anything into practice. Also, QuakeCon means that some of the GG staff won't be able to be around on that day either.

So, if you want to, it's now up to the community to organise something. If you speak to the remaining GG staff I'm sure they will provide you with help for a tournament or DM ladder. When I get back, I will organise another mapping contest, but for now, any celebrations are up to you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Now was July 31st the first release of the stand alone DP or was that still when we needed Q2 to play it?

U mean Paintball 2.0 :P


The "Paintball 1.0 by Quake Innovations" Version 1.00 is older (Jan. 1998).

That's for quake 1, and by quake innovations, which Digital Paint broke away from.

Haha, 300 round hopper that's smaller than the gun's trigger frame.

I guess we'll have to have a PB2 birthday party at QuakeCon.  Scary to think the game is older than a lot of the people who play it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY in 3 days.

I can't believe I have been playing for almost 9 years off and on.
I was just 10 years old when I started and now already 19.

I don't think I've met someone who is under 10 and plays this. I was 6 when this game came out.
