Oh, and the one rule that had me dumbfounded was the the "no outside beverages" which included WATER!!!!!!!
If I can not bring in my own water, you sure as hell better be giving it to me for free and not charging me $2 for a 20oz bottle!!!!!!!!!!

That's suprising, I've always brought my own water and stuff into the park. Also, they have started filling 4500 you just need to ask them. I still hate that place though. Most of the time it's newbie heaven.

...i live 30 min froom CPX (chicago) but haven't seen one commerical (maybe cause its illigal in chicago and they don't want people getting into it and buying guns...too late for me )

...what channel was it on/time what program was on?

its illegal in Chicago??? wow i did not know that. Do you know if they have any problems with it in Aurora/Naperville?

[tony3]

It's illegal to shoot guns in Naperville, but it is legal to own them. Not sure about Aurora, but I bet it's the same law.

[tony3]

.... Oh yeah, they also force you to watch a 20 minute video of them claiming that "no-one has ever been injured at Challenge Park" heh.

I would be one of the lucky ones to be injured at the park. It was only 2 fractures in my ankle I still refuse to go back on Armegeddon after that.

armageddon is an accident waiting to happen what with all the jagged peices of metal everywhere and the rocks jutting out of the paths.

Biggest flaw of that field is that barely anyone will go in the middle. All you have to do is take the corners and you will win quite easily, and i speak from many games worth of experience on that field, including one where i was able to take out 3-4 players by firing down one side lane and another game where my whole team of noobs got decimated by 8 guys firing down 2 lanes

[tony3]

Yeah, It's the same thing with bedlam too, kind of. I always hit the corners on that field.

[nt2004]

bedlam gets wild when you try to clear the buildings. They are divided with nets so you can bust into the building and get into a frantic staring match with the person on the ohter side of the net. Eventually on will make a move and some crazy shooting will ensue. I've had some weird encounters with people in the buildings

[tony3]

Yeah dude, One time I went into one of those buildings and just sat there looking at the person for what seemed like a long time and was like what the hell, and shot threw the net, some splatter got on the kid and he called himself out. Works for me.

[tribalman]

ya dude CPX is OverRated for what they are they spent soo much money on **** like they got 2hyper ball fields and they never use em.

yeah they do, you just gotta ask them. or go on days when they have tourneys.

i think the field is ok. i don't like 'geddon for the reasons stated. i've played 2 games there, don't like it. bedlam is fun and all, but it gets old having to wait 30+ minutes for 1 game to play through. 10min to crono, 10 to pick teams, 10 to get to the corner and actually start. i've only played on one of their "woods" field, heh, more like shubbery field. haven't tried jungle of doom, or the other ones.

[frop]

Heh, whaddaya expect, BE owns CPX. No wonder they started replacing their Pirahna rentals w/ crappy JT's Also, the refs are sooooo lazy i.e. standing on top of the hill at Armageddon the whole game, saying they didnt have the 'flag' (a gas can I was looking straight at) at the junkyard when we wanted play CTF instead of team deathmatch. About the only way I'd go back there would be for Shatnerball, or another event where the entire facility is rented out, w/ BYOP & non-CPX refs. Nuff said.

Well...all my experiances with this place are from the first Shatnerball. If you didn't hear the horror stories...they were only getting about 2200psi fills and they ran out of the cheap paint (which wasn't that cheap).

We had a few coolers of water and gatoraid and such and someone brought in a water cooler and they were sitting around the pavilion that we were staging at. One of the refs (or atleast someone who worked there) came up to us and told us we could not have outside beverages in the "Park". I flipped out on the guy and he walked away. Later I found out this rule is because it's concidered an "Amusement Park" or something of the like and State law prohibits outside beverages. To me this is a load of bull poo-poo.
