Wanna chance to play Ghost Recon for real? - Jun 16, 2006 19:44
Hi all I' m new here and hope you don' t mind me posting - love gaming and have me PSP - but am not very good!!

I run www.safeconcerts.com which is a website dedicated to concert and festival safety - it' s not a business and I do it all voluntarily and make no money at all - just trying to get improvements for folk at festivals.

I wonder if any of you gamers out there are also into music? I' m looking for gig reviews and venue reviews etc. Also for anyone who was caught up in the horrors at Download last weekend. I' ve got myself some tickets to the latest big thing which is Laser War - you will be able to play Ghost Recon for real! firefights, tanks and humvees in abundance etc - loads of things about - I' ll be giving away free tickets to whoever makes the best contribution.

Mods - I hope it' s okay to post this here.
So - please have a look if you are into music and festivals - I really need the help of ordinary people if it is to make a real difference.

Yeah, I remember playing Laser War (or LaserTag, as it was called here). It wasn' t very fun, in my opinion. Instead of just shooting the person, like you normally would try to do, you had to shoot the light receptors on the person' s chest, shoulders, etc. That takes the " realism" down a bit.

Now paintball, that' s fun!

I played paintball once, jumped right into a smoke grenade. Lets just say if it
were real bullets, you would be able to play Connect4 on me.....

I' m with you on the humvees and tanks...... But how do we fly a helicopter?

Wouldn' t mind lasering myself to freedom in a tank.... All sounds a bit expensive
though, we' re not talking cardboard here..... are we?

By the way, welcome to the forums. My name is Tiz, and the reclining chair is
mine also the beanbag, the fish used to belong to Majik, until Mass X
murdered them and stuffed them into my bean bag. Otherwise, if you have any
bias fanboyish opinionated shoes; you leave those at the door. Here we serve
nothing but Lemon Tea and digestive biscuits.

First test: Do you have a link for this laser thingy that we can check out?

Hiya Tiz

lol - no you won' t be flying it! although I wouldn' t put it past the guy who owns the whole thing to find a way of having them airbourne!

There' s links to it and more info on www.safeconcerts.com

If you have the reclining chair does that mean I can have the sofa all to myself! I have brought my snake with me - no one will murder him! I do not wear shoes....
But I like tea a lot!! please can I have a cuppa?????

Cheers for the welcome....sorry for delay - computer went mad and I had to sedate it.

Well I hope you wore shoes to the door at least... Mass X is a pet killer, so keep
all animals behind an electric fence. Although we tried to install an electric fence
in the fish tank... and that turned out well...

I' ll have a look at the link.

Y' know what, we usually get people advertising stuff in these forums and it' s usually something really pathetic, but this actually looks cool.

I play paintball at least once a month (usually only once because of the high costs), and up until now i would never have even considered playing anything else, especially something that uses lasers.

It should be noted that when she says " ..play Ghost Recon for real" she' s actually being 100% truthful as they have some sort of connection to Ubisoft.













It looks awesome!

Yeah guys - I am 100% for real - there is absolutely nothing in this for me at all, I' m just trying to get a bit of attention for concert safety.

If you have a look at the Ghost Recon bit on the Laser War site you' ll see that Ubisoft have had a go and are supporting it - also Goldie took a team down as well - loads of photo' s of that on the site to.

I' ve just been lucky enough to have the opportunity to have some tickets that I' m able to give away and am trying to get the message out to people. I think it looks quite cool myself and quite fancy the heavy metal stuff! quite like the isea of being rushed around in a Humvee with a SAS escort me!!! lol

So lets take this as a leading example and GIVE SONY A CHANCE!!! WOOHOOO
YAY!! YAY YAY (Yeah right).

This laser thing looks cool! Ubisoft has been busy haven' t they?

Yeah, but they must be left at the door!

Mass X is a pet killer, his room is 2nd star from the right and straight on until
morning.. (Upstairs and it' s the second room on the right)

" The competition is open to UK residents only"

alot of the guys here are from the ' u.s' and ' god only knows where else' , so even though kikizo are based in the uk there are only a few who can enter this, like maybe myself, whatabout paul.. and er.. who else is from Europe/uk/surrounding countrys?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Usually deadly killers and assassins, which usually have contained in them a
deadly Swiss army knife for instant kills.

So UbiSoft are going to get involved then?

Expect tight leather outfits and goggles with 3 lights on them then. Also
stealth kills and air support via a dumbed down cross com.

Can you only win this chance, or can you go whenever?

Also, do they give you a tutorial on how to drive those things? Or is there
someone specifically that drives and waits for everyone to infiltrate, and once
the mission is over he drives off with the people that made it? So everyone has
their own role?

I am LOVING this already! I am the grenadier...

No, you should see it on a Saturday Night, its like the end of Germany' s largest
beer fest, don' t be fooled by what you see in the morning or during the day. That' s
a cover up...

Yeah - as far as I am aware Ubi are involved now with all the Ghost Recon stuff - check out this link: http://www.laserwar.co.uk/ubisoft.asp

This is advanced war gaming - with different guns with different ranges and damage, you have health which gets depleted and when you die you respawn. It also features proper, real, fully operational APCs, tanks, humvees and other military vehicles (which you can take out with a laser rocket launcher)

And I will be offering more than just the one chance to win tickets - possibly every month I hope - all very new so who knows what next eh???

Now I' ll have to check on specifics if you want more info - but I think all you need to know is actually on the laser war site itself. There are proper SAS people etc that I think do all the driving and stuff.

Cover up eh? ....conspiracy theorist that I am I am suspicious......

that sounds like alot of fun,just get a good group of people. But dont you think its a little dangerous to let basicly anybody driveing the apcs,humvees and even tanks?

All it takes is for one GTA enthusiast to wreak havoc on the neighbourhood as
soon as they step into that tank/humvee...

I am pretty sure they have a real weapons depot somewhere as well.. Could get
seriously ugly, and the place will likely look like something out of a
horror movie.

lol at you guys! mind you - I quite fancy the idea of driving one myself.......hmmmm

Still - I bet those SAS guys know a thing or two about driving and will doubtless leave yer stomach at the starting point.

Oh - for any girls on here - apparently the girls teams are hugely successful - my info is that they are beating the boys!! HA

In keeping with tradition on Kikizo, someone may actually ask for a link..

Hey, I wouldn' t mind being held captive by girls, I am sure whatever the situation
I will have a reliable team to back me up...

It wouldn' t be UbiSoft without a strong girls team taking place, that' s for sure.

Which reminds me, has anyone on here actually played any of the frag dolls
on-line?

What links do you want? I' ve already put them on!!

It has come to my attention that girls are actually more devious than the guys - more clever in fact! ha - so the guys are a bit more gung ho and in yer face while the gals work out some clever strategies......

I was just joking.lol. We just always ask for a link. When someone makes a claim,
but you wouldn' t need a link for that.

So the girls are more strategic whilst us guys like to just kick doors down ey?

....Very interesting. I get the feeling when the girls catch you, they are like
amazon women. Strictly no men, and they will make sure you know what it
feels like to be caught by a woman..

Hey I only killed the fish. And that was for you! ...wanted to add comfort to your beanbag chair. I leave for a few days and come back to people slandering my name as a pet killer.

Anyways, got a few friends got their band up and running all over and what not, but they' re based in the US. This an international thing or just the UK?

Heeeeyyyyyy - I still wonder about the fate of that fish!!!!! Snakey is on patrol and just a tad wary - which is not a good thing for a snake....

It' s a UK based thing - obviously anyone can go on the site but I can' t give the tickets out to anyone outside the UK...sorry ' bout that.

Soo - is the band good then?

That' s a serious letdown, but then again, I' m not sure it would have mattered, I' m guessing the minimum age is 18 right?
But if anyone here goes, be sure to take & post some pics, I' d love to see something like that in action.

I' ll be sure to sellotape a camera to my gun. It may get a bit foggy, but thats
good, cos we at Kikizo love to be in the thick of REAL-TIME action..

I actually want to take a camera if I do go now... The amount of interesting shots
I could get...

And all those smoke grenades....
