I don't necessarily have a bad taste in my mouth. I'd go back to more but the expectations will be different. Like many games, you have to make it fun in your own way.

It's tough herding 30 airsoft cats at a local game, now go ahead and herd 200+. So you gotta plan for the lowest common denominator which is what they went for. While it was fun it could have had alot more to it.

Yeah I guess they had to cater to more the skirmish player then the hardcore milsim guys/gals.
glad to see us represented

well if you are planning on heading out this year or the future give me a shout..

Hey folks,

Glad to hear you got a good time at MUTC. It is nothing like Zussman but since it is not a military base, it allows non-US citizens to enjoy a true MOUT environment.

That being said, you guys covered up the event pretty good. Regardless if it is a US or a CAN based event, you will always have to deal with the cheaters and casual players. It kinda suck for those who are showing to such events because of its realism but at the same time, it has to be expected since it is created by and for civilians. Even more, if it would have to be as close to milsim as possible, we would probably all hate having to do PT and fill sandbags :D

As you guys also mentioned, John Lu is catering to those with the money. He is a true business so he is not doing it just to be nice. He also have big expenses and also give big donations to the wounded soldiers and other military organizations whenever possible.

For those asking, I would say if you are not going with your own team/group, you will probably end up with a bad after taste. Main reason is because half the fun comes from the trip itself. If you are expecting the event alone to make you happy, you will be disappointed. I know I would not go if it was not for my team being there. Slinging bbs can be nice but being to truly use tactics with guys who know you as much as you know them is memorable.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say hello. See you next year maybe.

nice to see an american take on it. if my memory serves me right team strikers you guys wore mostly OD kit?

because in the first market push i spooked one of your team mates coming out of one of the second story buildings door and took a single well aimed BB to the face. good snap shot on his part.

yeh, we were all OD kit with OD helmet (per Delta SOE)
I am actually the Canadian on exile and I talked to you folks in the staging area ;)

I finally got a chance to cut together a video from the 3 helmet cams of the Ronin49 members. Enjoy:

The members cut is excellent footage, Wish I could of gone!!!

Thanks. Its only my third video I've ever done so I think I'm getting the hang of it. Takes me a lot less time now also!

I'd definitely recommend for anyone to try and get to a game down in the US at one of their awesome facilities. Irene (more so the facility) was the highlight of my airsoft experience of 6 years so far. We're going to try and make it to atleast 1 big game down there every year now, if not more.

Great video guys, glad to see more canadians tearing it up at the larger milsim games in the states.

Gentlemen, looks like Irene X will be back at MUTC this year. Visit http://oplionclaws.com/irene/index.php for all details.

Sounds like our plan is to head there again. Should another awesome trip.

so how did you manage to get the guns across the border despite canadian laws? D:

The Canadian law saying that guns need to shoot above 366fps? I'll let you piece that together;)

So wait, u can still bring an airsoft gun across the border if it shoots below 366 FPS even if its classified a replica firearm?
