Just because you've managed to hide from someone relatively well holds no baring on who or what they are. Should have dropped a mk9 near them imagine how much they would have jumped then compared to a whistle! Im allowed to use them at that site so certainly a possibility lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I play with ex-servicemen who were terrible soldiers it's not a free-pass to be considered godlike. Don't get me wrong, I've seen servicemen get munched by a 14 year old playing his first ever game, but i certainly would have thought someone who's life depends on being able to spot enemies would have noticed some bloke laid down 3 feet from him on a river banking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albiscuit Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 7 hours ago, Prisce said: ^Totally agree with that statement. We were at a game where there were a group of current serving servicemen, the hire portion of our team and the less experienced players immediately admitted defeat and said “We are going to lose every game”. Once we had explained that as a soldier they don’t won’t to get shot, instinct tells them not to, and as Airsofters with unlimited respawns getting shot is the way to win, they sorta eased up and we won the day. I think the perception that they are trained operators vs us “pretenders” makes people give up before even trying. Whilst I dont agree with the statement, I get what your saying and this is why I enjoy airsoft. I dont take it seriously... Why hide behind a door 10 secs from the spawn getting wound up cos I cant break out? Just fricken charge out guns blazing, its not real life, getting shot mean a 10 second walk and im back in... if I have to do it 10 times before I get you I dont care there are no kill death ratios in Airsoft!!! As long as I get you if it takes me all day then im happy, or I go a different way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommikka Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Context is king A soldier will be trained to ideally stay alive and avoid being injured, and sticking together in teamwork. When playing games though they may not care about that, and may not get the same level of adrenaline that a player gets after they have been in a full training environment or true action In a playing envrionment we will still put it down to risk and reward. When I began we had very long walks in and out of the game zone. I wouldn’t run straight into a firefight if I’ve already taken a minimum of half an hour to get there. There may also be a timed spawn, in which case you can’t just walk out and in straight away I have a different perception as to whether I have a long walk back to the start, only need to go to a specific base, to a moving spawn flag, medic etc or even curl up in the corner waiting on a medic so I don’t lose ground If I can gain ground or possibly inspire someone then I may be more adventurous, in that if there is a stalemate line then a suicide move might motivate or I might get lucky and gain some glory. I have run into the front entrance of a fort with just a pump action whilst their was a queue lined up at the corner. I achieved one or two kills, who had a pretty much instant respawn then I had to walk 5 or 10 minutes to my spawn I had more fun then standing waiting and got a few meat stories told about me Ive also as a faction commander run around like a demented idiot screaming at the opposition and throwing pyro whilst constantly being shot out and respawning ..... in theory not clever when kills were being counted, but my team followed and we gained ground Again I’ve also carried a staff with a corn dolly on the end waving it up above a corn field. I was flicking flags with the staff to gain control of specific points, and then disappearing in the corn, giving my side something to laugh at and the opposition something to hunt. A bit of morale for my guys and a distraction for the opposition - making an easier fight for mine to get more objectives Games can be won by numbers and attrition, or they can be won by objectives. It’s often vital to understand the game. You can capture lots of buildings, but still lose on the holding of objectives even if you controlled them for longer. If the scoring is at certain time points then it can be a waste of manpower to hold a safe objective that currently doesn’t count as opposed to a big fight to capture another at the right moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for non scored games though, i don't bother keeping track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
