I cannot say enough good things about the first two games on Xbox. Like you said, these games were released in the golden era of paintball when it was at its height of popularity easily. The best feature was playing online seven vs. seven. I can’t tell you how many friends I made just by playing Xbox live. I legitimately joined a division 2 NPPL team from the networking on that game. Not only was the online gameplay, addicting, but maxed, allowed you to create your own tournaments and have other teams compete for leaderboard. There was even leagues made on gamebattles. To this day, I have never had more fun playing video games online than with Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball.
Hey, just a heads up since you mentioned being an OG GHTP XBL player... If you still have your original XBOX or a PC capable of running the XEMU emulator, GHTP 1 is now playable online again thanks to the original XBL revival project called "Insignia". GHTP Max'd isn't playable yet, however it should become supported any day now since the Insignia development team just re-enabled clan support very recently, which GHTP Max'd relies on.
Same! My online name was like twig1 loll
@@MJB360 gonna check this out.. thanks for the info
@@MJB360 besides Halo 2 all the games on Insignia are completely dead, so it would be really challenging getting enough people together to make it worth while. would be cool if someone started a discord but I doubt there's enough nostalgia for this game to attract enough people to start playing.
Now to do the non Greg Hastings games lol. At least NPPL 2009.
Best one ever
It's already in the works 💪 if this video does well I will spend some more time on the other games
Don't forget about Splat Magazine's Renegade Paintball too! I loved playing it growing up, and I believe its what got me interested in the sport to begin with besides the old TV light gun game Mission Paintball. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed SRPB it was the only paintball game I had access to until many years later when I found a used copy of NPPL '09 from my local GameStop. Suffice to say, I played it for a little bit, but I didn't really like it. I went back to playing SRPB and never touched it again. A couple years ago I finally got around to burning a copy of GHTP for my softmodded XBOX, and while I love SRPB, this game is definitely superior and easily the definitive Paintball video game.
Also, a heads up to original XBOX users! GHTP is now playable on XBOX LIVE again via a free revival service called Insignia. If you wish to learn more about it, please visit their website: insignia.live
Please keep in mind though that an ORIGINAL XBOX, OR the XEMU emulator is required in order to play. You cannot use an XBOX 360.
@@MattTheGymRatPlease do, the PB community could use more content like this!
@@MattTheGymRathey I’m in the market for some paintball pants and have seen so many different opinions on different brands. Do you have any recommendations? I love the look and feel of of the HK TRK AIR so I was looking at JT Pro but also saw great opinions on Kinetic (don’t know how I feel about the Velcro belt tho) and Dyzana but don’t love the look of them
It's mind-blowing when you look back at things and never realized it then that you were in the presence of greatness and now lucky enough to still possess greatness, which now is legend.
I was reffing at a local field when Greg Hastings came out on Xbox and EVERYONE was super stoked. The team I played on at the time all crashed together, bought a bunch on Bawls and played it for a day straight.
I was photographed for this game for Team Exile back in the day. The photos were taken up at Boston Paintball with my team and others that wanted to be in the game.
I remember playing GHTP on Xbox back in 2004/05. Taking me baaaaaaaack.
There was a paintball game on PC back in 07-08 that I got onto my highschool storage server, could play it from any PC in the building. So much class was skipped with 8 or so of us playing that game against each other. Wish I could recall the name.
Digital paintball
Dude, the soundtrack of the first game was so good. I would literally boot the game up just to listen to it. Octane and Sinch had some bangers
The OG Greg Hastings paintball was great when you were a kid that couldn't afford to ball every weekend. Good vid
Oh man I loved playing maxed and ghtp2 as a kid. Scratched that itch while I waited for Saturday to come for paintball
I'm sure you and every other player used those games for that exact same reason
Here is a little known fact, GHTP had a "street team" To help promote the game. These were comprised from players from all over America that were selected out of a ton of people who sent in applications. If I recall correctly there was about 18 people. They (Greg and company) sent out ton's of swag that was given out at GameStop's and fields by these players. There was physical copies of the games, posters, ghtp goggle straps, and various advertising items by really advertising from players to players, Which made this a much more unorthodox way to advertise but turned out to work successfully. The street team members received a free signed copy of the game and a personalized jersey made for each one of them.
That's really cool detail. I'm sure that wasn't cheap but helped in the long run.
These games were such a huge deal back in the day. It made the sport feel more legitimate. Before GHPTP, we had, like Extreme Paintbrawl, which sucked hard. 2005 Max'd blew up, 2006 Smart Parts had a televised tournament series, Pb2X had a weekly TV show, etc. Paintball was on the up and up.
It is still impressive to hear about all the thing we used to get
im still playing max’d on OG xbox. Great game that really holds up.
Still waiting for Greg Hastings Paintball 3.
Sadly never coming. It was scrapped
We all are 😮💨
Paintballers will be close/good enough
Paintball Playground??
We need this video Matt. 😅
Greg hastings was how I got introduced to paintball. 7th grade, blockbuster I picked up Greg hastings maxd tournament paintball. What an amazing game, ANYONE REMEMBER PLAYING ONLINE ON PS2?
Back in the day on Gamespy Arcade we played Extreme Paintbrawl 4. Many hours on this game too I believe we played it the first day it came out!
Great vid Matt. Now you're getting outside paintball sponsorships!
I loved this video man. All the nostalgia!
Great video Matt!! loved it :D definetly should include Digital Paintball Redux and INK: Tournament Paintball next!!
Going to add them to the list now ✅️
I really hope Paintballers is going to be a great game with all the good features. Like great movement mechanics, real gear/players, a strong multiplayer base and solid career mode. I guess we will find out on the 10th of this month. Fingers crossed
So close to release
Take me back to the golden age! 😭
Great Video bro. There was also a few more console games released like NPPL 2009 but believe the games you covered were definitely the last ones with Grag Hastings name attached to it. Keep it up.
I got into paintball because of Greg Hastings tournament paintball. So much fun
That's so cool to know it actually was good enough to get people to actually play 🔥
Great video dude, was fun watching you play some on stream.
Thank you, Zabel. I'm really glad I could put all the hours of playing video games to use on this channel
This was cool to watch!! Brought me back.
the 1v6 bit was hilarious.
Yeah that was so much fun to pull off. Made me realize why people liked the game play so much
GHTP Max'd is EASILY the best one in the series. I liked the Xbox version more than the PS2, but I know a lot of people disagree with me. There was nothing like playing in online lobbies with the golden gun and a turbo controller. Literally was 15 bps, it was amazing!
Love it. Very interesting to see how things have changed vs carried across generations of games.
It’s never been easier to make a game than it is today, but still very difficult to make a game that both looks + feels good.
Whether strategic or not, the original Greg Hastings hit the market at a perfect time, being early on the Xbox platform just 3 years after its launch. It was a great game even by today’s standards and no doubt grew paintball massively, but matured gaming platforms like console and PC are significantly more crowded now, which is tough.
I had never seen the gameboy / ds version before, that’s wild! 😄
The gba version pushed me to my limits 😂
Love the video man! I remember playing the first Greg Hastings game on Xbox Live when it first came out. Id play Halo 2 and that game A LOT online lol. Such good times! The first game was really good, and I actually have no idea how I never even thought about another Greg Hastings game after that. From the video, seems that was the right call anyways haha! Love to see the Sport growing again. Just getting back into it this year myself! ETHA 3, with Carbon FL Barrel kit JUST showed up in the mail today actually! And I also created a new team in my local scene for this summer! I'm so stoked to play this year! If you are from Utah and you see this post. This is your sign to get back out this year!
That awesome to hear! Your doing all the right things. Best of luck balling this year 💪

Dope video matt!
Very informative video👏🏼 I love it! Nice work my love ❤ I’m proud of you 🤗🫶🏻
Thank you beautiful ❤
Just dropping in to say Greg Hastings' tournament paintball is now online again on the original xbox thru the Insignia live project. We just played it last night.
Thanks for the heads up for all who still don't know. I tried leaving a comment about this earlier when I was talking about my history with PB games but it seems YT deleted it. Maybe it was because I left a link to the official website? I don't know. Still very annoying and ridiculous regardless. I put a lot of effort into that comment and I didn't say anything bad at all. YT get your $#1T together!
Really 👀
@@MattTheGymRat The project has really picked up over the last year, big games like Forza Motorsport and Halo 2 were just brought back online.
Bro I LOVED these games
man your channel is so damn good. loved this episode
Thanks Dillion. I really liked making this one
Makes my day every time I see a new video! Keep it up Matt! 💪🏻
Edit: That sponsor might be looking at a new customer 👀
You're the real MVP
I had so much fun with these games as a kid. I was obsessed with paintball but not really old enough to play. Only chances I got was lying about my age to get into those 2v2 games with rubber balls at my local fair. I had a few shitty guns I'd shoot at trees with and eventually got what I think was an old Spyder XTRA. Wasn't very good for the times but as a kid I thought it was the best gun ever. Sadly only got to use it a couple times and never got to play a game with it.
Duuudeeee this was exactly what I needed! I was wondering what these games were like
The first two were awesome! I have nothing bad to say about them. Glad you enjoyed the video 💪
Max’d is still a blast to this day! Great video and thanks for the mention!
Definitely! Keep up the good work!
Greg Hastings tournament paintball Maxd game was my favorite growing up on ps2. Wish they still made some games these days
I iwsh they would remaster it. I think just being able to play it on modern hardware would be awesome.
I remember saving up and then using all of my Christmas money to buy the original Xbox just so I could play GHTP. Man my brother and I spent a lot of time playing that and Max’d
I can see endless hours being spent in front of the TV playing this game
I thought he only had GHTP and GHTP MAXD. I missed out. Don't forget the mechanic in maxd where you can set lanes before the point just like how you can tell the players where to go.
That randomly generated character was pretty accurate.
Nailed it. Got to change my avatar and everything 😂
Talk about digital paintball redux next.
Max'd was my favorite Greg Hastings game!!
Such an awesome game 🔥
I love how FOB 2 straight up brought back Nintendo 64 fugly characters lmao
The real OGs will remember splatterball lol Ngl though Greg Hastings paintball was so much fun
Great video. I appreciated the non-biased reviewing. I think a lot of us who played these games when we were young view them with rose coloured glasses.
I can see the nostalgia covering alot of the blemishes
I used to destroy people online back in high school on the first Greg Hastings on Xbox with my off brand controller I found online with the macro button. It would shoot full speed with 1 button press without having to manually pull the triggers as fast as I can 😂
GHP2 was my game! I still have it and play it from time to time
This game was awesome back in the day!
Digital paintball back in the 00s was the best. So many fun nights on the call of duty mod
We all have a cesar in our teams. If you can't identify yours......guess what ? You are😂
Nice video Matt. See you in jersey
Ceasar was so confident in his picture 😂
the turbo controller was a game changer
Ghp 2 was so good to me back in the day
Loved these games, I had them all on Xbox and ps2!
They were awesome 🔥
I remember these. I liked them haha. It the reason I still play double claw to this day
200k units sold?? Amazing how that’s considered good for the time. 1 million isn’t even enough today for a sequel. I loved the first game and Max’d. 2 is another story hehee
I played this late. On 360, met one player online and we stayed friends for like 6 years playing other games.
Got to love online gaming and the friendships you make from it
Its a resurgence in paintball all the kids who played in golden era and now can afford good stuff haha or just have good jobs now
that game fuckin rocked
Paintballs MLPB 24 is funnnn affffff
Great video
Thank you, friend!
Ghtp 1 was my favorite video game ever, max’d was great, I only bought nppl for the case
Nppl does have a cool cover 😂
killing the content
Thank you 🙏
Max'd on PS2 is the GOAT paintball video game. I remember that game having a massive player base and laders with hundreds of teams on GameBattles.
He was part of WXP , an investment group of industry & players who he later didn’t pay
Are you planning on being at PB Fit this weekend? My team will be repping Wichita State University in College XBall. Would love to see and have a 1 on 1 conversation with you.
No I won't be there but best of luck on the tournament!
Max'd was the best game in the series. It made decent improvements on the first one.
It was so much fun to play
I smashed the like button and suddenly my calves got SWOLE!
I don't say it for no reason 🤣
I'm not saying they were great games. But I am saying we had a great time. @11:49
Can't forget a lit nppl 2009 was a fire game too
That game was awful
@@DSUL85Seriously, I don't understand the praise. It was almost as bad as GHTP 2, and the graphics were just as ugly. I'd rather play Splat Magazine's Renegade Paintball instead.
@@MJB360 play paintballers it's so effing fun!
Yes finally
I used to play the heck outta this game, Wish they'd make a new one! But rarely make great games anymore so 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah I think the same approach with modern graphics would be awesome
I have the Ghp2 disc and its backwards compatible but my nppl championships game is not backwards compatible. waiting patiently probably will never happen. I wonder if the new Virtua game got sued to death?
Why dont you just emulate it
@@LuccianoNova the Xbox does that? My potato computer won’t.
I played all the console games on the 360. They have GHTP2 on PS Plus too.
I’ll find y’all on the mobile game! 🎨 🏀
Paintballers MLPB will be legit!!!
I played Greg Hastings Paintball but it was on PC and before Xbox even came out
Thanks i was up drunk bored on ps5 one night and was like hmm?... So surprising to see a wellade video i expected nothing but crap vids on this game. Thanks
Thanks Chris, that means alot. Enjoy your beer and gaming session 💪
I only played it on the ds and got really used to it
Okay hold up…. How do you master kayaking????
I spend tooo many hours playing both games
I used to play the shit out of these games.
Even thou being in ghtp2. Ghtp was the best
Let’s go!
I’m 90% sure I have the most hours on ghp2 in the world lol
I would love to see those stats 😂
infinite and virtual (paintballers) love the games.
is there any way to play the old ones without an OG Xbox?
you can download an emulator on your PC or phone
@@MattTheGymRat gotcha. Never dove into it, so wasn’t sure how hard it was
2:07 C'mon man, how you gonna leave THPS out of that list?
The first couple of greg hasting games were so good. The last ones were blah. The first mobile game was good the second one made no sense.
You're right. Seems like the sequels never live up to there predecessors
I liked the first 2
All this video game playing and you could have been curling in the curl rack.
But did you calves grow?
@@MattTheGymRat I think Will is gaining all our calve growth
Gregcraft?
Try Infinite Tournament Paintball on PC
I have before
The console versions look really fun. The mobile versions are an absolute mess
people sleep on thes games lol
Get a VR headset and play paintball playground
Played the 2 one for a little bit. It was ass so I never bothered with the franchise.
Greg hastings paintball and maxd were the best. Nppl 2009? Was meh. Greg hasting 2 awful, splat awful
There are some devout NPPL 09 fans. I still haven't played it so I am excited to try it.
5th comment
P r o m o s m 🤩
The best paintball video game was NPPL 2009. I said what I said
Alot of people are saying that. I'm going to have to see what's up 👀
