Spec Ops Film
Has anyone seen it? it was filmed at the last UXPL tourney. They SLAM tourney play in it. Saying, in effect, that tourney players are not the smartest nor the greatest players. And that anyone can play tourney. They go on to say that only woodsball takes skill. There are alot of us players in the video. I know I didn't give permission to them to put me in it. I wouldnt have minded. But they so blatently slam the tourney player in it.

I guess my question is to Allen. Were they given permission to film? did we sign waviers stating we would allow it?

What can I say I don't like cheaters 🙂

I would need to see the film is it downloadable somewhere?

Is it made privately by Gregg or is it made by spec ops ?

Well their actions say differently as they recruited almost strictly tournament players for their scenario team and staff.

Jason Orvis (the owner)has for as long as i have known him had a strong distaste for tournament play. But he knows the reality

I am sure this is a marketing ploy to unite recballers that also have a distaste for tournament play.

We all know the truth so what does it matter?

We'll just ask him how he has done against tournament players for the last ten years.

On the field 😁

I don't think anyone can argue with their business sense.
