Aengus Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Been talking to some of the legion guys and they found most games were over in under a minute which in their opinion was too fast, and that's coming from manchester firm players. Could be down to site design or even just inexperience as this is the first time teams have travelled from all over to play the format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Actually that looks quite fun. I can see how it would appeal to younger & fitter players. Tho it must be hard to call hits when the action is so fast and adrenaline so high. Like getting a kill a second after being hit. Must be well marshalled for competition. As said before, its the difference between Battlefield and ARMA games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more than likely could go for that , but who knows ? Nah still don’t ‘grasp the reason’ behind it ! 😉😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47frizzle Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Wow, didn't realise this dragged on for 4 pages. I also just realised that i'm more of a speedsofter than anything else since: I naturally lean towards being as light as possible, don't give a damn about realism, and crazy about GBB pistols atm since they have optimized performance for lightweight setups (rifle performance in a small package). Maybe I should get into it 🔫🤠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that all of us are playing variations on hide and seek with toy guns, we might not want to get so judgemental about it. Everybody playing it is clearly having a laugh, and nobody is getting harmed (without their consent), so why the hate? Personally I like the look of it,I dont get why speedsofters get a bad rep I've played with/against them and find they add a great dynamic to the different games that we play and they scare the shit out of snipers who can't get a shot in before they're overrun(they're the best assaulters to have).Come one come all I say 🖖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true bud why I try to travel to other sites around the country if I can , as everyone’s been saying it takes all sorts and if it’s what you enjoy then crack on and enjoy . After thinking long and hard I think the real negative for me is the small arena , I like big open sites the allow for going wide and sneaking up on the other team , I really enjoy the slow sneaking up (don’t get me wrong I do enjoy a good suicide charge as well) but I think that’s the downer for me .👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get where you're coming from, but I argue that it's a *branch* of progression you can choose to go down. Plenty of competitive opportunities (milsims etc.) which don't place any emphasis on roleplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
