Competitive Airsoft

[ACA]

LOL

Dunno for me indoor CQB has gotton stale. Layouts rarely change and even opening and closing off areas only ever changes the access points. After a summer of woodland sites the thought of going back indoors to something where chavs are sliding around on their knees wearing Die i4's and spaffing their trigger fingers like they they'd just pulled at the high school end of year dance drains my enthusiasm for indoor airsoft on any competitive level.

I like to have the type of objectives that requires something other than pew pew the opposite team until their spawns run out.

I was actually going down the line of outside field based with objectives other than simply slay everybody at all cost and get the flag or push a button.

Rather than taking CQB game style to a paintball field, have a larger field for argument sake a full size football pitch with a combination of inflatables and more CQB walls, structures, oil drums etc.

where chavs are sliding around on their knees wearing Die i4's and spaffing their trigger fingers

Very few speedsofters are chavs. I know a lot and most are generally are university students or have a decent career. Thousands of pounds worth of hpa kit and dye masks and clothes are out of the reach of your average dolie dope smoking chav. I wear an i4 and have been known to knee slide often but am I chav? No I am far from it, don't label people you obviously don't know.

If i wanted to wear lycra id start cycling or join a german industrial metal sex club... or start shagging men

I get that I take the piss out of the ones I know for looking like tactical elves but in all fairness it works well for their requirments. Had a hot day a month or so back and everyone was struggling but these guys with their light loadouts were still going strong. Heard a lot of players making shitty comments about how they dressed that day but heard a lot of speedsofters complimenting the loadouts of the more military minded players. Just food for thought.

Forgive my ignorance but was there ever a registered Airsoft players, sites & even suppliers debate on the Paintball field based speedsoft games to get all views for its uptake, rules, field layouts & sizes etc or has it been a whim of a few?

Was more a joke, obviously taken wrong..

I've played many a hot day with airsofters deciding its an awesome time to wear full rigs etc and im just running a tiny chest rig with just mags... got the same sort of comments but meh everyone can do what they want, wear what they want etc etc as long as they play fair who gives a shit

Typed jokes will always fall down as we can’t see the tongue in cheek smirk on your face while your typing.

Man, you have no sense of humour at all do you? Or is it because I said it you took exception to that one thing? Are you a chav then?

You've assumed a chav has no money and can't afford HPA rigs, most are drug dealers and earn more money in a week than most of us do in a month. Anyway, it was a joke, I wasn't being serious. You must admit, in their beanies and trackie bottoms, speed-QBers/softers look like chavs.

So yeah, don't label people you don't know.

Nah not taken wrong just putting it out there before everyone else jumps on the beat the speedsofters band wagon.

Exactly all that matters is how you play. You can wear cheap or gucci, run a PTW or a cyma but all that matters is when you step out you are wearing the right attitude (and face pro always the face pro).

I just do not see the point. 

There is no skill, its who can run and spam the trigger at the same time.

I can see the point in a competitive style game for small squad based games. ie Who can take the village, or capture the VIP the quickest with the least casualties using the least ammo or stealthy style gameplay etc.. 

Albiscuit: do you think it’s possible possible to combine the indoor super quick game & the long Milsim type various objective game on a large (football pitch) size field obviously with various bunkers & obstacles.

Let’s not get off topic and spiral into ‘I said’ ‘you said’, ultimately not get an answer.

Looks about as much fun as getting teeth pulled. 

Its like theyve taken the worst bits of paintball, and the worst bits of a regular walk-on day full of hicap hero rental chavs in teflon trackies and combined it to make something even worse.

I can absolutely guarantee this guy hangs out in ASDA carparks after dark in a Vauxhall Corsa with a crap badly applied body kit he got off eBay blasting RnB through a sound system that cost more than the car trying to impress questionably legal aged girls so he can use his well practised speed finger in the back seat.

I'll take crawling through bushes for hours to get that one perfectly aimed shot over running around spunking their HPA high cycle everywhere like a teenage boy whos discovered pornhub for the first time.

Speedsoft style games on a more intricate arena than a field with a few bouncy castles is a good idea. It would be a good middle ground and with the speed of land development lots of sites are going to have to think how to best utilise smaller play spaces.

Despite the fact that unless I knew this guy I wouldn't be using his pic to cast such aspersions. Your comments are funny and hopefully meant that way

Take away the HPA rigs and hi-capa raceguns , and EVERYONE has to use the same level of stock AEG and pistol (not brand specific just all at a similar level of performance) just so they all fall within a set parameter of rates of fire/fps so we have a level playing field for all .

Then i’d show a bit of interest but as is with chav cam covered HPA trigger spammers hero sliding and john woo rolling all over the place ? Nope sorry bud not my cup of tea thanks .

Ahoy and welcome.

Oh, this defunct thread?

Not really my thing, but if you do go ahead with a competitive team based site, I'd suggest having and emphasising a sportsmanship rating system along the lines of ultimate frisbee's spirit scoring system in order to recognise and laud fair play as well as win-at-any-cost.

Like your response - Proactive !

Despite you ending in "Nope sorry bud ......." I will take your entire comment as vital feedback as you make reference as to what you (and I'm sure others) don't like.

Where could I post that reaches a huge/the most number of Airsofters including suppliers, players, sites, media, basically anybody that has an involvement in Airsoft requesting their own views & to put forward their own Questions?:

Pro's & Cons of their own games be it CQB Milsim or whatever their gameplay. Simply asking a number of questions based on getting a definitive answer that can be used to develop or not what players want from a field-based Airsoft game not copying any other but taking the best parts of each where possible.

Some questions but not limited to: What kit, what rules, what field size, what style of bunkers, what style of games, can the grassroots version be scaled to leagues and tournaments, how and where these events are held, HOW TO STOP CHEATERS.

Any suggestions of where to post?

*On a personal note nothing about speedsoft interests me. I stopped playing paintball because of all the trigger happy players running about lobbing 5 shots a second in my direction. There is certainly a market for it however, so good luck to ya!

We do have a section specifically for this: https://airsoft-forums.uk/clubs/

Where you can update your own little subforum with events etc., but it should be noted that it's really for site owners and teams. This might not be a fit.

Truth be told though that most people don't use this forum for finding information on sites from what I've seen. Typically it's discussion, reviews of gear and general chat. Facebook may be a better option for reaching a wider audience, but there's nothing to stop you from doing both.

Facebook groups, addicts, comrades,  UKAC, pew pew and lots more places where you will get a more balanced answer than on here.

This place just likes to spew lack of understanding and hate lately which is far worse for airsoft than and speedsofting hpa using trigger spammer will ever be.
