I think Coram still uses the whole field? I don't know since I was banned 8 years ago (a story for another time).
It did create a very unique dynamic. You might show up with your team of 10 players, heading for Base "Alpha". Then suddenly you walk into a wall 200 enemy players, who may be engaging players in the opposite direction.
Absolute chaos follows. It was always fascinating to me to what the movement of so many players. It was like watching a school of fish moving in an unpredictable wave.
From a commercial standpoint, its a different situation. Paintball is a hard business to make a profit. Its a fact of life that fields are shrinking. Games are becoming quicker. etc, etc. The logistics behind using large fields for "normal sunday games" is too much for most places.
