It's not my cup of coffee, but it sounds like people would go for it.

The problem with this is that it is essentially turning airsoft in to paintball... I think.

You gotta define what makes airsoft, airsoft, and paintball, paintball.

I was planning on making the whole national statement thing about honesty, honor, and such, but there will be judges. Around 6 of them. One for every corner, and one for each respawn.

[SteevoLS]

One of the big benefits about airsoft (IMO) is that it is distinctly non-competitive. If you lose the game, big whoop. Your faction lost, not your team. Aircross and GRAVE may be arch rivals when we're on separate factions, but at the end of the day we don't gain or lose anything.

I could go on and on, but there's definitely a reason that airsoft all over the world is not structured at all like what you're suggesting.

[Sweetsoul]

....you know all the while I didn't even /think/ about that.

Hmn..

Well, there goes that dream!

[Echo1 Operator]

i think the winning team should get a giant trophy

[Gambler]

I don't think this makes any sense for airsoft.  Most people that play airsoft do so for the tactics involved.  In this type of game there are very little tatics.  The people that like this type of game play paintball.

[Big Bird]

  Or you could go get a paintball gun and join the mess thats already going on, it's called speedball and is as boring as that speed chess.

[Doublewolf]

As the people above me said, I believe that this is just paintaball with airsoft guns.

[GREEN NINJA]

seriously the field is 90 ft by 50 ft, lol.

[Bushmaster]

I doubt it anyone would work, if someone wants to speedball, they can go anwhere and do it with paintball gun.

The only reason this would not work is competitive games with a reward at the end will make players cheat. And airsoft is the easiest game in the world to cheat in. It would just turn into a massive crapfest with players accusing each other of not calling it.

Yeah, Splat is notorious for that.
