The actual life experience will not stack up to the one provided by the video games. However, it still holds some special importance to see something of this scale being built in actual life so that fans can experience the legendary map ‘Nuketown’ again.
Professional Airsoft players gathered from all over the world to breathe life into this amazing map. Rules of engagement on this map were pretty straightforward. Each shot by the paintball gun was to be considered as a kill shot that would send them back to the spawn site. The elected game mode for this round of play was a normal ‘Team Deathmatch’.
