Anyone heard of this?

I went through yesterday. It is great fun - basically they've outfitted a huge warehouse facility to be a set of laboratories and such. In there, you find zombies .

You go in as a team of six, to clear the facility of infected with replica M4 rifles, pick up a few things and generally kick ass.

It's in Melbourne at the moment, but is heading around Australia soon, starting with Sydney.

The ~$150 price tag seems pretty steep but it's worth it and you do get helmet cam footage at the end.

Just though the gamers of the forum may want to check it out.

Not really. PB rarely has a story. Usually this team vs. that team type game modes. This has a full backstory etc. And zombies .

Would really like to try this one day when it comes to Sydney. Sounds so awesome!

 

[Carrotsticks]

Do the rifles actually fire anything?

 

[SnowFox]

It would be PB or lasertag, airsoft is still only allowed in SA

They're building on the Laser Tag technology. The guns were supposed to have solenoids that replicated recoil, but the Victorian government stopped their order saying, "We don't want anyone making guns in Australia."

... They're not making guns, they're making replicas which were already approved for use by the very same government.

They're working on a way of getting around this issue.

I can post up the helmet cam footage when it's up on YouTube.

Sounds like real life L4D?

There was one stage where we had around 50 of them piling into the room because three of the group were incompetent and refused to go through a ventilation shaft.

Managed to take out a shitload, it quietened down, we started through the vent and half of them got up again (weren't shot in the head).

The incompetent three finally realised why I wanted them to go through the vent lol.
