Unfortunately I cannot recommend this location for it's airsoft play. The staff were all pleasant and accommodating, however there is a team of regulars here (A.F.K.) that completely ruins the entire experience. I've gone a couple of times in hopes that things changed from week to week and was disappointed to find that they didn't.

1) The team of regulars is a group of 5-10 Dye/Polarstar speedsofters with little regard for the other players.

2) They are allowed to act like they run the place, they choose the gamemode for every match, have their own special room to setup their gear, choose the teams (which often means a team of people with rental gear or AEGs against their team of speedsofters with HPA tapped everything)

3) Worst of all, the regulars cheat incessantly, every match they would leave their spawns and get into position to spawn camp the other team before counting off the start of the match. Overshooting was commonplace. A few of them refused to call their hits if you were not point blank and unloading an entire mag into them.

4) Some of the HPA players were turned up too high and the staff does not bother to chrono the "regulars". This resulted in a pair of new players that joined me for one of my trips leaving bloodied up through 2+ layers of clothing.

-------------------------

I will note that the staff did attempt to correct these issues each time they were brought up with the exception of chrono'ing the regular's guns, however their attempts were unsuccessful as the problems continued round after round, over the course of multiple visits.
