Personally i dislike when games go on too long. Each scenario should have a reasonable time limit depending on the situation.
I have actually got guidelines for each of these and will bring them with me this Saturday and see what people think.

I have to agree with timelimits, I think games work a lot better when there is a faster turn around. When a game descends into everyone being bogged down and camped behind cover it gets a little boring, not to mention the fact that with the weather we've been having lately if you're dead and waiting around for the next game for ages your head'll be wrecked.

Agreed. 20 to 30 minutes is long enough for an assault skirmish and 15 minutes should be long enough for any capture the flag or king of the hill game.

I find that calling the time remaining seems to get the more experienced captains and players pushing forward with a bit more gusto.

Threatening to shoot stragglers is suprisingly effective when used on folk who arent actually pinned down.

Yeah time limits are deffinatly the way to go, some games can run on to long when theres just 3 or 4 people left alive when the respawns are up... usual snipers for some reason

Ah the old Stalingrade technique, one of my personal favourites comrade

If someone is spotted for camping they run the risk of getting tagged by a Marshall, trouble is, while a Marshall may be omnipotent they are not omnipresent and as such they can and do miss things.
.

Sometimes they can apparently get whacked for just standing around, or if the marshal gets bored.

/Not mentioning any names...........Hivemind!!

BTW, get a real sidearm. Glocks are for wimmen.

You were 12ft away. I could have thrown the bb further. Come to think of it, from the impact I thought you did.

Interesting, but then this is coming from a man who has to make everything BIGGER, LONGER, FASTER!!! Are you over-compensating for something?

In life, like in airsoft, you can never have too much muzzle velocity.

i dunno which one is the contractors base but we were attacking the one thats on the left as you come down from the safe zone, me and gatling was in cover close to their base and we were teling the others behind us to cover fire and move up, then this battle charge outta nowhere and a big warrior roll!.,lol, I was in fits of laughing aswell.,:D

That was me I think, I was behind the metal cabins & was getting bored. I got hit right on the top of the head as I was "falling", hurt like hell.
