Played in woodland yesterday, had an OK time, but it mostly reminded me of why I prefer CQB.
Once you've lain in one flooded mossy ditch, you've laid in them all.

That's a fair point, I enjoyed sneaky when I was sniping, but this site has a weird rule about playing twice before you're trusted with a 485fps / 2.2J (double weird) sniper. Not that they're enforcing it in practice, I suspect.
When you're out with a random AEG and all of the games are variants of "rush an objective" on a busy site, it's pretty much the start of Saving Private Ryan over and over again.

Yeah, when I'm out with an AEG, I still play like a sniper (sometimes even with the ghillie on too), because I don't like rushing objectives when you know at least three enemy players will be sitting in a bush ready to light you up. People are often amazed when I use less than 1000 BBs in a day while out with an AEG, but that's just my play style and it's what I enjoy.
I think woodland is great if you have people with you, because you can do squad tactics and really dominate the game, however without coordination (which, let's be honest, skirmish airsofters aren't going to coordinate), woodland is... I don't want to say it's bad, but I think I'd prefer CQB if I wanted to play a faster, more rush-like style. Attacking objectives in woodland requires a lot of repeated aggression, or some sort of sneaky super-flank where one guy takes out half the enemy team (which feels amazing in fairness).

I treat woodland a lot like cqb though. I find coming from a cqb background you have a few skills woodland players do not have, it was always evident when a woodland squad rocked up at the mall for instance.
I still rush, push forward and play a sneaky style in woodland much like I did at cqb. It doesnt always work granted, but players can be surprised by a lone guy rushing forward when they were not expecting it.
