Viper Paintball, producers of the world-famous "Texas Revolution" annual paintball event is excited to announce the theme for this year's production!

In cooperation with the creative team that has made it all possible, this year's event will be titled "Texas Revolution XI: Red vs Blue."

"Red vs Blue" is a story told in "machinima" videos created by the talented folks at Roosterteeth Productions, and shown in episode format at redvsblue.com. "Red vs Blue" is produced using the popular HALO video game. Their site boasts thousands of members, and the fact that there are usually hundreds of fans logged in at any given time is a testament to their immense popularity.

"Machinima" is a form of movie production where the footage is created using video game engines, and then using actors to provide the voice-overs for the characters. The folks at Roosterteeth Productions are masters of the art form, and their work has been on television as well as a popular feature at the annual Sundance Film Festival.

The staff at Roosterteeth will be working hand-in-hand with Viper to produce the story and characters for the event, as well as providing the commanders for each side. The event itself will feature the new "Viper RTS" gaming format being debuted this year. "Viper RTS" is the integration of "Real Time Strategy" video game concepts with the live-action excitement of paintball. The result is a strategy-driven, fast-paced paintball event where the players control the action.

The event will take place April 8, 9 & 10 at a brand new 60-acre facility in Mount Pleasant, Texas, just east of Dallas. Admission is $45 if postmarked by March 9. Paint will be a super-low $49 per 2000 rounds. There will be a player party Friday night.
