for me its 100% a game, but that doesn't mean it can't be serious
My style of playing is just trying to have fun though. I mean I'm not a real soldier, and I don't pretend like I'm one, while I've seen people who really think of themselves as real soldiers...
I don't really care about them though, if they have some fun doing it, so be it! For me, I just try to play as strategic as I can, and thats all. no matter if I end the game at 20-5 or at 5-20, it doesn't matter as long as I had some fun. I play fair, I call my hits, and this is all that is importan to me... if the guy I shoot don't call their hits, I don't even care, it just gives me the opportunity to shoot at him again! lol.
