    In your perfect world, you could set up a once off airsoft game somewhere, where would it be ? I always thought the place they use on that program dog borstal would be a great place but if this place was cleaned up and repaired it would be make for interesting games. http://www.abandonedireland.com/pf.html

    If we're going to say anywhere then make it the entire Phoenix Park :)

    There's also the small urban training town in the civil defence school :)

    If I was to build up the site myself for a once off international event, and I could have anywhere at all, I'd want the USS Eisenhower or at least Ticonderoga. Proper tight passageways and densely packed rooms. Ship fighting is bloody scary and a place where the likes of P90s, shotguns and pistols reign supreme. Hardcore men-from-boys stuff.

    A tad more achievable would be one of the aircraft graveyards in Nevada. A couple of hundred planes across a couple of hundred acres would make for some interesting scenarios that would keep everyone happy.

    Closer to home, there aren't many I can think of, but there's a few UK sites I haven't tried yet that I'd love to. Combat South - Urban being way up on the list.

    The tunnels under Dublin city centre (i.e. storm drains, and the poddle).

    What's interesting is that the accessible parts of the course change with the tide :-)

    How about here? I hear the current occupant is moving out soon so there might be a chance for a few games.

    I don't play airsoft just kinda stumbled on the but Dundrum shopping center would be class!

    As Dex says above an Aircraft carrier, or failing that an abandoned school/hospital.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭kevteljeur


    Around St James street (The whole Guinness area) where I'm working right now has some fantastic and in many cases derelict buildings which would be amazing to play in and around. There's also an abandoned HSE building in Cork, which was on the news a few months back. That place is huge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Eh, my school, an aircraft carrier, The airsoft site in the UK on an old RAF base w/ 2 underground stories (I'll try find that issue of Ai), mount rushmore, the alps, dundrum(I invisage good choke points every visit), buckingham palace, New York subway system(minus the trains).

    The list goes on...

    I said it at a skirmish recently, but when Dell in Raheen is closed(and it WILL close) it would be perfect!

    If they do close most the internals of that factory would probably be sold on. The factory floor would be bare so the building would be just one massive room with nothing in it.

    The offices would be good though. It's probably all prefab too so you could bust through walls and make it look really cool.

    Having worked there and seen alot of the inside, there are plenty of walls and small offices and stuff even if they do move most of the internals

    The offices would work no doubt but you'd be surprised how much of the factory stuff would be removed. All that conveyor stuff can easily be dismantled and sold on, there almost like Lego. Could easily be turned into a warehouse/customs setting though. it's so big you could fit any old junk in there even buses I'd say.

    I wonder who'll own it after Dell. I'm assuming it would take another multinational to find a use for a factory that big, meaning it'll be left to rot.

    Ah St. Ita's... nice long corridors and not many hiding places. Run, Forrest, run!

    (I have been inside it.. not as a patient though!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,348 ✭✭✭Rhinocharge


    This would of been perfect.
    Loftus Hall, 63 acres of forestry, grassland, out buildings & Casper.

    Something for everyone.

    Here, I mentioned this place before! Check it out on Google maps, it's massive. It's been procured for the DIT, they intend to build their new campus there. I say intend; the odds of them getting it together and succeeding are pretty small on past performance...

    Stalker themed? So every 10-20 minutes the game will end for no reason whatsoever? Or do you mean we should just throw bolts at everyone?

    mp5s, 1 AUG, 1 H&K P7 and 1 beretta M92f, taped to your back, cut feet from broken glass and a dirty vest and polish fags and a zippo.
    for the win.

    some yank sits do a north holly wood/HEAT type skirmish with 4 robbers with AKs & M4s with drum mags and the pigs other team, have shot guns and pistols, with a golf kart for a get away car.

    Fine do a COD4 sniper mission or whatever takes your fancy. Cool if somewhat impractical location is the point or was there a point :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Hahaha, I'm taking the mickey. I'm still annoyed that STALKER constantly crashed on my system. All I ever got to do in that game was throw bolts around before the whole thing went wallop.
    It's amazing how detailed it was in the game, that's the first time I've seen a picture of the actual place.

    The Google building, beside Grand Canal Dock. There's never anyone in there anyway, they're always outside smoking, and the real work gets donw by some guys in the States. But we'd need an airsoft player 'on the inside'.


    A serious one, like.

    My neighbour's been there. Although it's safe enough to visit for short periods, you wouldn't really want to hang around too long if you're thinking of having kids some day. And that's just for us blokes.

    So, yes, you'd have to stop the game every 10 minutes - to check your dosimeter. Also a seriously spooky, and very sad, place.


    Damn, that's a great photo of CDV!

    croke park stadium ,

    Yeah, housing estate, MOD rent one to airsofters in the UK, actually, its a full town with trainstation now that I think about it. Looks amazing.

    Woodies:
    "Breach in the lighting section, they're getting in!"
    "Fall back to bathroom section"
    "We need a way to penetrate the beds area"
    "Tell dex to build a tank, he has 4 minutes"

    :p
