New Woodsball Magazine.

I think most of us know about Facefull's release of the Jungle magazine. I believe Special Ops is now teaming with APG to do this. The reason I think they may be teaming up is that when I got my magazine, it was in a plastic sleeve long with this special ops magazine. It's small right now at 24 pages, but like Jungle I am sure it will grow.

I, for one, can't stand spec-ops' publishing side. I honestly thought that "Woodsball Revolution" was a spoof for the first few minutes until they went well over-the-top.

Don't get me wrong. I started out a woodsball player and still play woodsball every time I go out. I try to make at least 1 big scenario per year (NJ Nam this year with the OMHW crew), and I thoroughly enjoy the aspects of the games. What I can't stand is the blatant mis-guidance and flat-out bad advice that I've seen in Spec-Ops videos and on the forums. Sure, every forum has it's fair share of elitists and know-nothings, but every video I've seen from the S.O. guys has been little more than a thinly veiled bid for you to buy their gear so you can be the uber-sniporz or a rapier/dagger/whatever-outmoded-weaponry-reference-you-care-for rather than a straight-forward intelligent and tactically minded paintball player.

It just makes me wonder if this will wind up being a real periodical with useful info, or if it will wind up being nothing more than a 50 page glossy advert for Spec-ops gear.

You are not alone. I have made the same comments from day one. And I too wonder how this will turn out....

i think there should be an increasing focus on the recreational player rather than all these tournament focused articles, however SpecOps is almost as bad as SP for pushing their view of the sport...

according to SO, you must comply to one of their 'role types'... i could never do that... i play all around, if given the option, i would rather work outside a 'squad' mechanic in most situations, not because i can't work as part of a team, but because i have more fun doing my own thing towards the end goal of whatever game i'm playing.
