joshcowin Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi there im going ground zero this year for the first time and wanted to know what its like and who else is going? thanks Josh Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Possibly when i move down south, depends if it clashes with other events. However if i go i will spend most of the time ambushing enemy players like i did the last time i was there, never bothered with the objectives as they got too boring too quickly. In fact, to anyone on here that wants to go from the Bristol or nearby area give us a shout as i have a car with 3 empty seats and enough room for kit and tent in the boot.

Azubi Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hopefully they will be better organised this year. Just think a typical Sunday skirmish but alot more people and a large party in the middle. You can really play it how you want and if you want to get the most out of it, you really do have to put in the effort to tease out the objectives from your 'commander' otherwise you will be left to your own devices and it's nowhere near as fun. Last year was a bit of a mess with regards to organisation and I understand sorting out airsofters is like herding cats but it was quite bad at one point. It's just a handy way to catch up with mates for me and play a game that isn't very serious. It's not all doom and gloom though. Run with a decent bunch of lads and you will have a blast.

FireKnife Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I plan to take a very sort of 'what the hell, why not' approach to this and make it more a weekend of humourus antics and general fooling about trying new techniques. As this isn't milsim or anything period rather just a big bash and game then i will just be around doing stealthy stuff, taking pictures or having pictures taken of stupid things and generally meet any members on here that are in attendance.

Forti Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's kind of like a fun camping trip where everyone likes guns. There is also some airsoft to play I guess, which is fun as long as you stay away from the self important tossers who make up Delta. Like everyone else has said the game breifing gets shouted at you for a bit and dissolves completely ten minutes after it starts. Just go find a fun place or firefight and get tangled up in it, that's the best way to go about it. If you don't care whether your team wins or not you'll have many orders of magnitude more fun. I mainly enjoy drinking far too much and trolling srsbsns milsimmers in the camp area with my RTTCQB man tshirts and mirrored aviators. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Think we should have a location to drag all the Arnies members for a meet up and a laugh, maybe see if we can teach the GZ boys at how wrong some of them are for assuming the M4 with whizzbang RIS and extras is better than a good old sneaky tactic. That and put names to the many internet profiles we know on here. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Probably not as I gave up on GZ after the stupidly high amount of cheating last time I went in 2008. The final straw for me was the little *suitcase* who, after ignoring a 10 yard shot to the chest from a 8mm ACM M500, decided to start bitching about the follow up shot being aimed at his head. Basicly I got the impression that sunday is looked at as a day to ignore hits so I'll keep my money for other stuff Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 All booked up here. Last year was my first and I had a blast watching the sheer confusion on the delta's faces as they fell like flies trying to take heartbreak ridge. Turns out CADPAT, a well-tuned VSR and an overwatch position from the ferns and you can hold them off indefinitely. (or until they start cheating) I'd be up for a little meet up with a few bevvies if everyone else is game. I've only met a scant handful of arnies forum members so far.

FireKnife Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well i was going to think of taking and setting up a sort of 'rally point' for us in the car park, a chance to catch up with other members, maybe a bit of a username on a sticker kind of thing just to meet and greet, however as it is Zeroin's playground it might bring more trouble than it is worth. However i am always up for a (non-alcoholic) beer Plus i am not hard to spot in my camo and pistol only insane-ness. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I view putting money in Zero One's pockets in a similar way to financing terrorism, so i'll be giving it a miss. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My comedy loadout for sunday is ready! I will not be hard to spot at all. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Humm, sounds interesting, mine might be hard to spot but it will be fun none the less. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well, I say easy to spot. I should have said distinctive. Pic of gear to follow. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Would be good to see, i am thinking of doing a sort of three different loadouts, use GZ as a testing ground for some new ideas etc 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Pic as promised. Would have posted it earlier but the GF came home and needed my immediate attention. Not in pic is a US style OD flap holster for an M9. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm now tempted to feature my STARS loadout (once i have added the final bits to it) at some point. However great idea, will be fun to see the usual geardos out and about with gaunt faces as you walk by. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ah well, when i am down there it will just be pure insanity that everyone will remember me, good or bad Anyway, will get GZ booked as soon as i am down south again. Still lifts are available from Bristol area, just want to be in the area before i book. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Forti Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 you can hold them off indefinitely. (or until they start cheating) So you mean like... ten minutes? I spend my time on zeroin making fun of every regular poster for being insufferable morons, so I'm tempted to get a patch or something with my username on and see if anyone tries to have an argument :V Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 but the GF came home and needed my immediate attention. Pics or it didn't happen (sorry someone had too) Forti, I doubt it as there'll be no keyboard to hide behind Link to post Share on other sites
