I have never had so much fun in my life.
Started off at Friday 2 AM with a road trip from Maine to Penn.

Random normal fun stuff happens all the way.
But Saterday morning is what it was all about.

I played a Paintball game with about 3200 people in it, reacting D-Day.

And by Reacting D-Day I mean 1600 germans firing at 1600 allied troops storming the beach from landing craft.

The beach was a feild and the germans positions was the woods line into 700 acres of playing area though. But still, man it was one of the most intense things I've ever done.

The germans starting firing before the ramps even dropped. The sound of 1600 players firing at you is drumming in all our ears. In the boat I was in there was a bagpipe player, so that made the setting even more intense. The ramps dropped, and no almost no one survived the first rush. As we were hit we were allied to just go back in the boats and reinsert. The second wave was much more sucessfull in making it to cover. In 10 minutes, our full force was on the beach in cover advancing up taking on the germans.
Last year the beach was not taken at all. (Hour limit)
The year before that, it took 45 minutes.

We did it in 28 minutes this year, pushing the germans back and taking the base in the woods as our HQ were our general would stay most of the game.

After taking the beach and the germans retreating/reinsertinng back into a different position, we started doing missions to gain points. A big part of winning was getting points from obtaining fuel drums.

There was a 3rd party side to this game that you could either negotate with for fuel drums, or kill them and take them. Our team made the mistake of being lazy and simply killing for our first round of fuel drums. Oh, this fuel drums ar empty 60 gallon drums that needed to be lugged quite a distance to gain points for. And they needed to be protected, if shot, everyone in a certain radius would be eliminated. (Boom)

All during this game, this is one of the biggest events for paintball. So there's dozens of vendors and stuff going on.

About a half our of female mudwrestling drew a couple hundred allies to go watch it, while the Tyrel Corp (3rd party guys) gave away 70 barrels to the germans who were nice enough not to shoot them on site. So we lost alot of points there.

Tons of smaller things happened. Smaller battles, Germans retaking the beach, us retaking it. Lines moved back and forth.

Things started to get a little slow till it got dark out. I took a break untill it was DARK out. People were still playing and I went out. We couldn't see a damn thing and were playing. Firing was kept to a minimum and moving was kept to the max. Everyonce in a while, they would shoot of a flare in the sky and you could suddenly see EVERYTHING. Including your enemy 10 feet away from you. So it went from sneaky movement to intenst firefights. It was great.

Gameplay ended, and was to continue the next day for a couple more hours.

We were drascticly behind in points so my team decides to go try to get more fuel. The germans were trying to take out HQ and assassinate our General, and everyone was giving us crap for leaving for fuel. We tried to break through the line for 10 minutes, knowing it was impossile, take a long detour and go to the fuel depot after meeting little resistance.
On the way there we met up with some allies bringing back some fuel drums. We steal some of the guys with them and continue to the other depot.
We get there and there's nothing. Oh crap, there goes that plan. No more points and the germans are about to take our HQ with about an hour left in the game. We take anothter long hike, and with about 15 minutes left in the game, we see the backs of the germans assaulting our HQ. Hello. About 30 of us took out about 100, 150 germans, and slowed the progress of hundreds more assaulting our HQ. While we eventually all got eliminated, we stopped an assassination of our General.
And one of my smoke grenades caused a fire with 30 foot flames. That was fun.

Yea, pointless post. I just had so much fun, and just got back, thought I'd have to share with all the forums I go to.

Heh, sounds fun. More fun than my weekend. Have any pics?

Wow.

That is freaking bad ***!

Holy ****. That sounds like the coolest ****ing thing on earth.

omgomgomg 3200 people thats so freaking awesome

Ha that sounds awesome. When we go paintballing, we usually get eight total.
Haha. He had a 2vs2vs2vs2 game that sucked for us because one of the teams had this kid that was packing an Angle.

Anyway, where did you guys go that had that many people that would all be organized?

Man, you gotta combine that with golf carts yo!

Potato, it's not the gun, it's the player. In my experiance I guy with a pump gun can take out an Angel-toter any day if he's good.
Anyways, that's AWESOME Squirrel King, what gun do you have? The largest game I've been to is 700 people, it was mayhem, but nothing compared to 3200!
That was "Skirmish" D-Day right? In Pennsylvania?

Yup, Skirmish.

I don't have a gun at the moment.
I've owned or shot just about every gun there is... and I have to say AGD markers are the best you can get. I shot a high end mechanical mag for this event.

Last couple markers I've owned were an angel 2000CnC LCD, E-Mag, and ULE Xvalve ULT mag.

For the record though, angels suck.

Nothing can beat a mag. So effective and simple.
With Cockers and stuff they are so complicated.

With a mag you have so many interchangable customizable parts.

Rail: So many different types of rails you can have.
Body: Choose from the old school SS bodies, or the ULE bodies, the Tac One, any custom milled Slug bodie - the karta being the ultimate coolest, Xmag body, Micromag body... Man this list could go on.
Valve. Classic, Retro, and Xvalve. Now of course it will be level 10..
Trigger: ULT. Make the resitance to mech electronic like.
And also the actual trigger. Double, single, blade, splinter, etc.
Frame: Stock, Dye, Bench, Intelli, Z, Y, RPG, Logic, Logic 1.1..

In addition to this there's a "fine tuning" you can do to make the gun work better than it should.
With the right setup you'll be shooting a mech mag faster than any legal electronic out there..

And the marker maintanance is the easiest out there. Replace O-rings and oil. Other guns need to be tuned and hard parts replaced and calibrated and all that crap.
A mag is set to go.

Sounds cool. Did you use actual military-like gear or was it 3200 neon-colored blurs?

sounds friggin awesome. so, what were the rules? if you get shot, you have to play dead for a while, or just go back to where you started, or what?

man, i wish i could participate in something like that.

There's alot of mods you can do to your gun to make it look real.
I just an example. Alot of people have guns like this.
Most people had full camo on as well.

If you get shot, you can either find a medic within a minute and he can heal you (Anything but a head shot, that is a mortal wound and you have to go off the feild) and every third heal you have to go off the feild as well. Reinsertion is every half hour. So if you time it right, you don't have to wait long at all.

Perhaps, but this kid Tim was wicked awesome. I'm just saying when he unloads at you and you hear/see balls smacking the trees around you nonstop, it's a bit hard to make yourself jump out and shoot at him.
