Deagle and Conner and I (Doc) attended this event on the Predators (Blue Team) had a great time, and I want to thank them for coming. Hats off to whoever made the props, the Alien Queen and all the eggs we had to run like mad to get for points looked great. The field was a hike, but nice, and the refs were very good all day. I'm glad I brought the grenade launcher, it came in handy against the Robby The Robot dude walking around gunning for people. The Red Raiders were present as well, but we didn't see much of them as we were mostly playing at tank-hunting. I also came to support Tackleberry of EOD on his generalship--I wonder where he got to, it sure wasn't this game! :)
Highlights:
Predator music and the Aliens Motion Tracker Sound Effects over the loudspeakers.
TAPs vs. Robbie The Robot Walking Tank all morning.
Green glowing blood on the ground, just like the movie.
Blue General (After Team Predator was moved to the Aliens' side): THERE'S THE PREDATORS! GET 'EM!! Blue Team: We thought WE were the Predators! Blue General: YES, BUT NOW THOSE PREDATORS ARE ALIENS! SHOOT! Blue Team: This makes less sense than the movie did, and that's saying a lot!
Blue General: GET TO THE CHOPPA! Blue Team: Seriously? Blue General: YES! THERE'S AN EXPLOSIVE PROP IN IT THAT WE HAVE TO STOP! NOW GET TO THE CHOPPA!!! Blue Team: Really? Because when you say it that way, it doesn't sound like a real mission. Blue General: WILL YOU MOVE YOUR ASSES TO THE CHOPPA ALREADY???
All in all, a great game for a great charity. I had a lot of fun. I'll see you all again sometime next year!
