Hi,

Does anyone have some useful info on this site? Me and my mate have just booked for Sunday but never been there before.

Cheers.

have a look at some of the team diablo videos they seem to show quite an extensive view on the site (not commentary wise) you can get a good look out how the buildings and outer area's are set out

Cheers mate, too late. I was there yesterday.

 

I should probably do a short review.

 

Entering, parking, registration was smooth. The safe area is a nice big room with everything you need, and they have a shop set up too.

Safety briefing came with pictures (broken teeth and such ) and covered everything just fine.

Everyone got chronoed - not every gun. You got a mark on your hand if you had been at the chrono, but the gun was not marked. Also you used your own bbs to chrono. But I didn't heard of or met a too hot gun, so it looks like it's working.

 

The site itself consists of two "spiders" - net of barrack like buildings and the immediate surroundings, so it's CQB. There are beds with pillows, cabinets, chairs, curtains, toilets, etc - some dark rooms too.

Gameplay was about the same each round. One team defending, one attacking the buildings. Sometimes we needed to get / protect bombs, sometimes get to / protect boxes with lights, or just simply defend / attack. Not too long rounds, average breaks between them.

The marshals were okay, they were around and keeping an eye on the gameplay.

 

It was suppose to last until 16:30 but it actually ended a bit before 16:00 and quite a few people even left before the last round.

 

So for me it was not the best and not the worst game - it was average, but was not really worth the above average price and the drive there.

The regulars said, this was not a good day.

Ah, one more thing. I was stunned that many people didn't wear face protection. I saw a few bleeding faces yesterday, and I too got shot in the face multiple times. One would have hit my tooth if I wasn't wearing the mask.
