Went there this past Sunday. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. There was some rain, sun and some sloppy, muddy conditions, but it was great.
Refs explained the game and rules well. Chronoing your gun is as stated in the review; on an honour system, and on this particular day, no one did any checks. One thing to note is that their 400 fps limit is on 0.2. Their site just stated 400 fps, so I had calibrated before hand at home for 0.25. No big deal, just a heads up if you like to have everything calibrated before you get to a field.
The 3 minute respawns can be good depending on how you play. If your game play is camping and sniping, you can afford to wait. If you're a run and gun, it's good to have a breather before running back in the fight.
The 15 minute games seem very short. Time just passes since compared to indoor, you're generally maneuvering and doing more action on alert (at least I do). Whilst outdoor, the movements pushing forward can be slower to get into position.
One of the games involved capturing a flag at an enemy camp, just going through the forest under cover took the 15 minute time frame of the game. Friend and I just had position outside enemy camp when the 3 horn blast blew for game over.
Hit calling was pretty good. Players were calling their hits even from a far distance out. May have been the players on this particular day, but nonetheless great sportsmanship from everybody.
Overall, it was a great experience and will definitely go back. It was great to actually go out there with gear that matched the conditions and actually get dirty.
