maybe even knocking a few holes in the portacabins for snipers?
If that would be ok with nonex of course

yeah thats what i was sayin, would be good, could also get a load of tires to make better positions, Shoud be able to get the old ones from tyre shops for free,

EDIT:
or we could have a few pistol only battles, that way we'd have to get pretty close to each other to get kills, I say this just as i fixed my hi cap AEP mag.,

I still havent used my vsr or my mk23 in anger yet!!
Some sniper scenarios and cqb pistol onlys would be very nice!

Yea good point. I bring a bottle of BBs with me and just leave it at the base.

I'd like to see longer games also.

I don't know why that would be against the charter, that seems like a great idea for keeping a game flowing.

There's already a "hole" in the portacabin (the one each team is after for CTF games).

Admittedly, it only offers a very limited FOV... but it's there, if you look hard enough

how about a few barrels around the place and could light a fire in them a/ for light, it gets dark very early these days, b/ for effect and c/ for everyone to hang around when were freezing our jewels off., not sure if the legality of lighting fire in a barrell but i presume it would be fine?
could also use barrells for making cover etc.
Maybe a few small holes in the side of the portacabin (enough to get a rifle through) on the battle field so that snipers could hide in it while attacking the other team, as it is the windows are an advantage to the team shooting in the north (i think) direction but the ones going the other way have to either come out behind it or out the front door.,
Maybe a few old banger cars (I can get 2 i think) and that bus in the middle would be great for snipers!.,lol

i like the idea of the fires in the barrels, would add an interesting effect when it starts getting dark in the evenings

however i dont think it's a good idea to have holes which are just big enough to fit a rifle through, this gives an unfair advantage to the defending team, you should at the very least be able to shoot through it from the other side

no reason for that to be against the charter, but does anyone want to build a replica of the LOST bunker?

Masada

haha, yeah that would be good, the paintball place in kart city has good bunkers there, theres one particular part where you hide in a tire and the only thing they can hit is your head and that dont count.,lol my team held the fort for 20mins until i was the last man left and i held it for another 10 mins, little did they know i had run out of ammo long before then.,lol

conor-mr2

Hehe!

I thought something like this would be pretty sweet

Masada

A timer woud be no problem to make, could do that with a car alarm siren an egg timer or alarm clock.,
as for the holes in the portacabin, i see what you mean KD, maybe even have some wood palats at the sides of it to even the odds a little, as it stands i think the team heading north has 4 positions if they have the bunker and the other team only have 2-3 proper ones if they take the cabin.,

The problem with trying to organise two teams for the day is that people never show up on time. Constant arrivals mean the teams have to be constantly rebalanced to keep some semblance of equality.

As regards setting up camp out on the field, this really has to be done. 4, 5 people going back to the safe area to reload every round really eats up time. Maybe even having a portacabin halfway between the play area and the safe zone where people can dump spare ammo, equipment, etc. would do the trick.

Afaik there will be some new windows cut into the portacabins and containers, and the bus will be out as soon as the top windows are covered. This + some extra cover at the side of the ghost base should give us a lot more options, tactically speaking.

Masada

I just reloaded in the cabin on the battle field, too lazy to walk all the way back to the safe zone.,lol

Dibs being locke and eventually destroying said bunker

What about sandbags? They should be pretty straight forward to fill and lay out.

yeah and could make them out of those annoying recyling bags, they keep sticking bundles of them in our letterbox, Surely there doing more damage to the invironent but making so many of those things.,lol

At the moment, most of them are scams. They take the clothes etc and send them to eastern Europe where they sell them.

It's certainly lacking in empty drums - in fact, not enough metal altogether in the field yet (sound so much better, when ye're cowering behind it ).

A small area with 10-15 drums reasonably close to one another, arranged in a check-pattern, kinda like a "speedball-type lane" would be cool... :cool:

Masada

theres a recycling centre near my house in town and I'm sure you'd find some interesting stuff in there to use for the site, and I doubt they would charge for taking it away aswell.,

No, but wer could build the hatch, then rig it with a Claymore and tell noobs its the objective:D:D:D

Fallschirmjager

some great ideas there, in fact really good ones.

on the sniper holes, i agree they need to be a bit bigger, if they are too small the possibility of a full on goggles hit increases dramatically and i think we should try to avoid that if possible.

i think ambros metal barrel idea is excellent for sound effect. lemmings m60 and kd's m249 rattling on that would make you crap yer pants....LOL

Gatling

Who 's planning on going this saturday ,weather reports dont look too bad ,

If treated and charged properly it should last the day.

ooh, i want to see this, been considering the metal receiver for a while

decided to actually open my p90 gearbox the other night, first time since i bought it, re-shimmed it and im now up to 20 rounds per second from 17rps, think the fps had dropped a little bit too, so re-greased the cylinder head etc.., compression is much better now
