bankz5152 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Totally forgot about this site until just now, I have played there in the past 3 times in the past, had a pretty good time. Though its been 5 years or so since I have played... Anyone been recently and how is it? Main question is how long are the games in the evening? Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I went there once, isn't that the CQB place with all of three rooms? Fun little site, very little, like, super small. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah it is small but £25 is pretty cheap these days for CQB, just want to know if the games are longer than a couple hours and that its actually alright. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've never been, but never heard good things - it's a paintball site, too, isn't it? I think it's the place that everyone complained about being damp and smelly, and getting paint all over themselves from brushing up against walls and things. For the money I'd probably visit Blitz CQB, which is at least reasonably clean and has midweek evening games running from 18:30-22:30. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Cant stand Airborne and refuse to play with them, plus its a pita to get to. Didnt know about the paintball, certainly wasnt paintball when I played a few years back. on my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
Sacarathe Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yeah it is small but £25 is pretty cheap these days for CQB, just want to know if the games are longer than a couple hours and that its actually alright. The mall is 30 minutes out of paddington, for twice as much play time at £35. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 And it takes 45 minutes to get there and a nightmare with all the gear! We drive and its at least 1hr 30mins where as B51 would be 25 minutes. Just looking for a cheap local place that isnt terrible Plus I cant stand the 3 hour long breifing at The Mall. on my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites

I'd always rather be bored in the briefing than not have the information which I find to be a bigger problem when I go to most sites. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I know that yes but it is so tedious, it just does not need to be so long! We got there once at I think 8.30am, didnt start playing until 11am. on my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
housemartins Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yeah I do know what you mean, one tip for First and Only briefings, don't lock your knees! Link to post Share on other sites
tinkle60 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Bunker 51 is as grimy as ever. There are some small additions to the furniture that helps the gameplay flow a bit, but still has 2 chokepoints that often cause stalemates. If you won't play with airborne at whitechapel try www.thecageairsoft.co.uk Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Ahhh ok then hmmmm maybe if im bored one weekend ill give it a go and report back. Funnily enough I first started playing with Cage at Fort Amherst about 10 or so years ago. I thought they shut down, cheers. on my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Is the briefing at the Mall really that bad? Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Is the briefing at the Mall really that bad? I'm not saying it's long, but last time I went we took tents firewood and marshmallows for the brief. Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 fastest briefing i've had there was 45mins long with minimal interruption. This was some time ago so there may well be more rules now. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 It can be horrendous. After an hour and 30 minute drive the last thing you want is an hour and 30 minute brefiing that is honestly quite repetative. Despite the fact the majority of the time every player there is a regular skirmisher and the vast majority have played the Mall before. on my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'm not too fussed about how dirty a site is (I used to play at elecrowerkz, anyone who also played there will know what I mean). I'm more interested in what the game play, staff and regulars are like Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Try and arrange a private game if the place is small. Way less cheating, more respect, more room for sneaking and overall better atmosphere. I think £ 25 is super expensive as well since I pay € 25 for 10hrs outdoor and € 15 for 8hrs indoor. Is living in the UK that expensive? Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Not really but I generally dislike woodland games and prefer to play either CQB, FIBUA or MOD sites which usually run about £35 - £50 for 10/10:30am till 430/5pm game day. Plus the majority are usually an hour or mores drive away which adds another £10 or so in fuel. So £25 for ~4 hours and 25 minute drive isnt bad to me. Used to be better but in the past 5 years all the local CQB sites to me have closed down. Link to post Share on other sites

paranoiddroid Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The bunker is Wolf's site right? If it is I wasn't overly impressed I found it was very much money grubbing some cool options but money grubbing and not really a site where there's a standard of honest play.
