I guess it's no surprise that overall I liked it.
I think they could've layed down some plywood to and from the player's area (wheels don't roll very well in sand and I'm famous for having a heavy bag), and the water jugs had sand in them, but those are minor complaints. My little sister, niece, and nephew finally got to see me play, and I actually did well that game. They were very excited about being able to run along beside me (yes, I know...but it didn't seem to make a difference) as I moved and they were very excited about getting "hit" (I was confused at first but apparently they got splatter from some of the fire I was taking). That to me was more important than watching the breasts of the HSP model on Sunday...well...yes, it was more important...really...they were really nice brea... it was funny listening to someone talk about a player "refueling" his gun when the player was dumping a pod, and the pier was crowded with people watching, that never would've gone to a paintball game otherwise. It can only be good for paintball. I really liked the fact that the scheduling was done early, and the games were on time. The chrono-ing tent could've been a little larger (we weren't allowed to leave the tent once our gun was chrono'd if the current game was almost over), I know I like to be friendly, but that kind of closeness was a bit much...it's a little disturbing to know just how many ribs your buddy's barrel has on it's tip... It was nice having individual team tents rather than one or two huge tents. I never really had to wait for air, the bathrooms were close by the air station, although I'd rather they were in the player's area so I could get air AND use the bathroom in the same trip. All the tech tables, like the VL table, should've been in the player's area, so that we could just walk over with our gear after getting air instead of making a second trip. Maybe a set of steps dedicated for going over the fence? Maybe a little wider passage beside the NPPL field, especially once the chrono tents went up. All minor things. I liked the focus that the field setup gave...I like playing aggressive instead of sitting and shooting 'til the last minute of the game...especially since I usually die in the first minute, whether I did anything important or not...I look better if I've eliminated three people before I die, rather than dying while sitting behind a bunker. I think some of the chrono's were a little wiggy. Maybe the metal drums were playing havoc with the radar readings? It seemed that there were times that everyone's gun (except mine
it's nice to be able to chrono on at 260 fps and not worry) was hot, after just finishing another game where everyone was "on".Anyway, I liked it, liked the fact that there were "outside" sponsors, and really, really liked the breasts on that HSP model...oh, did I say that out loud?
