Looks like they are about 1 hour away from me. I'll have to check it out. What do they use for flooring? How does it compare to tri-city and ccp?

I've never been to Tri-city or CCP, so I can't compare them.

PBShooters has one ever-changing airball field, and dirt flooring in the field area. Paint is $65 a case, and they have the occasional BYOP day, too.

anyone interested in meeting me at tri-city this weekend?

I haven't been to tri-city, but I have been to PB Shooters and CCP.
At CCP, you have the slick floors, and you can slide on them really well.
PB Shooters has a dirt floor, and you can't get a very long slide.
CCP has the windows and stuff seperating the field and staging area, while PB Shooters has netting seperating the two.
At CCP, the field is positioned so that you only see one starting area from the staging area, while you can see both at PB Shooters because it is positioned long-ways.
At CCP, the feild is large and will accommodate many players well.
The PB Shooters feild has at most twelve bunkers on a side, and that is a generous estimation. It will not easily accomodate as many players as CCP's field.
There is music and a proshop at CCP, while niether of these exist (yet) at PB Shooters.

Which do I personally prefer? PB Shooters. I like the atmosphere of the players and the employees much more than I do at CCP.

Cool, maybe I will see you there. Do you still have the Nemesis? Maybe I will buy it if you do.

[spantol]

Crap, I thought I PMed you about that. I managed to find a buyer for that thing right around the middle of October. I think you're probably better off, it had the most uncomfortable grip frame I've ever held.

I'll be the guy with the grey AO jersey and an X-Mag.

[SMG]

ok

I have a ULE EMag w/ clear Halo. Hopefully will get a chance to say hello.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

ok we need an official AO-IL day this year. Last year only 4 guys showed up, the other 3 or 4 guys were members but they didnt even know it was a AO-IL day.

Since there seems to be a lot of new IL members resitering it might be a pretty good idea for all of us to get together someday. (rich...that starwars poster might come in handy afterall...well...if sean still has it somewhere)

Hey guys, just contact me on aim when you are playing next tonyyyyyyyyyy8

I play at pbshooters most of the time, I just went to ccp for the first time today, yeah pbshooters is better, ccp is
"better" but I still like pbshooters field more. And everyone is MUCH more friendly at pbshooters, everyone made me feel like a newbie at ccp. They wouldn't even let me use some old paint at the chrono. All fields let me do that, even challenge. Not to mention the prices suck. I had my teammate buy me a case because hes a member, but then I had couldn't get an all day air slip for some reason. Also, it was pretty crowded and we couldn't find a spot for our gear at all. Pbshooters has tons of room to put your stuff. I played 5 games at ccp all day(6 hrs.), pbshooters always has the games moving. Pbshooters is definitely worth the drive for people that are about an hr. away, its completely awesome.
