Basically, I'm wondering what I need. I realize that there was a thread about this recently, but it didnt really answer all my questions.
I realize, at bare minimum I need:
-AEG
-Battery
-Charger
-Mags
-BBs (Bought at the event probably)
-Eye protection
-Boots.

Will I be criticized for being a "noob" for not showing up with BDUs, a chest rig/vest, helmet, radio and all that other jazz? Cause frankly, maybe apart from the chest rig/vest, I don't think that I'll buy the other stuff.
I will be playing CQB mostly, after watching videos of both Field and CQB, I think I'll prefer the latter.
Am I approaching this totally the wrong way or do some players also not go for the whole "dressing up as a soldier thing"? I don't look down on it or anything, but it's the actual gameplay, not the roleplay, that interests me.

Now, I'm by no means at all an expert, but that sounds completely reasonable.
