Paintball is a great way to get some exercise as well as let off some steam. However, it requires being treated just as seriously as any other physical activity to get the best exercise out of it and to make sure that you don't go home in an ambulance.
Make sure that all of your equipment checks out before you even hit the field. Improperly maintained equipment can result in explosive guns, and that's never a good thing when your gun is based off using air pressure.
Your gear should include at least elbow and knee pads, chest protection, and goggles. No only will this limit the number of balls that explode on your body and therefore sting, but it will also protect your body from fall damage.
Stretching is a good idea as well. It ensures that your body is limber and that protects you from injury as well.
Keep hydrated. You will sweat a lot during the game, and you may suffer from dehydration if you don't drink occasionally. However, keep it non-alcoholic until you are away from the field to prevent any accidents due to impaired decision making.
