Game Idea For Any Site

[Flax]

Very basic, I used to play it at private games. It's based around Behind Enemy Lines.

This is player number dependant.

You select a small group of people (for example, of 10-15 people you select 2 players, time limit of 30-45mins) to start at one point and they have to make it to another objective (Extraction). The rest of the players (the other 8-13) have to try to stop them.

There are 2 ways to complete this game from the small team's point of view.

1) Run in all guns blazing and hope for the best.

2) Try to avoid detection by using stealth to get by the larger team and get to the objective.

My idea of team sizes are as follows:

10-15, select 2 players
16-25, select 3 players
26-35, select 4 players

You get the idea...

It's a very simple game, great fun and fairly difficult. Things become interesting when you select very different types of player.

You can base it around the movies more (i.e. one of the smaller team is "wounded" so the others have to medic him to bring him back into the game. The "wounded" player will not be with them at the start. If the larger team finds the "wounded" player before the smaller team, they may "execute" him and declare him out of the game).

I am welcome to any opinions you may have, be they negative or positive.

Sounds great mate...I would certainly want to play this. Of course the type of site limits you. For instance I dont think my site has enough trees to do the stealth option.

We used to play on private land, with ferns over 8ft tall so it was a great game to play if you used either tactic...Snipers loved it.

I think out my entire old team, the only pairing that got through it was me and the best player on the team. We just snuck through the woodland into an overgrown field...where we ran like sh*t :D

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

We used to play a game similar to this at a very large site i used to play at. I'm sure it was fun for the 4-5 players who were chosen but it seemed to always be the local guys who were friendly with the marshals who were chosen(and used to get away with a lot of non hit taking to lengthen the games).

As the 'Hunter' force we usually all got very bored very quickly as we couldn't find anyone sometimes even after about 30-40 minutes, and almost always ended up giving up and just shooting each other. Imagine it would be really fun to be on the evading team though.

I'm sure at a smaller site, with less players it would be a seriously fun game as well.

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

That does sound pretty good. i did something along those lines a few months ago at night and was one of the best games i've played.

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

I never tried it at night...but sounds like a laugh...especially considering I'm getting a night scope for my rifle

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

Classic game... we did kind of go off track a little to get to the over grown field though

When your down for xmas get the old gang back together and we'll play again.. will get my lot to come too so we have more players

Reckon it would be worth trying to suggest it to sites?

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

Well I am going to recommend it to my local site in Liverpool. But yeah, we'll put in a word to John about it and see what he says.

Christmas - should be back around the 13th I think :D

Yeh being in the dark adds an extra element to the game. Everyone plays more stealthily.

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

I can imagine! I've done the odd 1v1 pistol game in a thunder storm before and that certainly gives a very different atmosphere :P

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

that sound decent, but what happens when you shoot the "hunter" team of 10+?
also what would happen to the small squad if detected and shot...... "dead" or respawn?

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

i would suggest if the the team kill the hunters then they win
and for the small team how about this, when one dyes, the other has to hold on to his arm for like 40 seconds without being shot, acting like a medic. this would be good cause sometimes hed dye in the open and ude be really lucky if you could revive him then but other times it would just be in the woods or something and ude have more time. i reckon you could get some amazing airsoft moments with that game

Re: Game Idea For Any Site

We played a game similar to this, we had to escort a "VIP" from a starting location in a semi set path towards the extraction. There were 4 of us plus the VIP, the VIP didn't have a weapon and only had 1 life, the rest of us had 2 lives. There were about 15 players that made up the "hunter force" who all had 1 life only but were allowed to split up and go anywhere they wanted. They didn't know where we were starting, finishing or the path we'd been set. If the VIP died then the game was over, if the hunter force were all killed then the game was over, if we lost all of our lives but the VIP was still alive then the game would continue until the VIP either escaped or was killed. This was at night but inside a large building with 3 floors and a small outdoor complex. We basically tried stealth tactics for most of it until the a large part of the hunter force found us, we got 2 guys to put down covering fire while myself, another team member and the VIP escaped down another passage. We ended up flanking the hunter force that our other team mates were covering- and instructed the VIP to run to the extraction while we gave covering fire. Was an absolutely brilliant game!
