sorry to be skeptic, but im guessing the redefinition comes from the controls and mechanics, because that crowd on the back doesnt look very "redefining"

i was guessing it redefines in that it gives you the same experience in terms of multiplayer as top shelf fps' like CoD and Halo, however it's paintball and there's no death, blood or flood involved haha
