Who Is The Best LazerXtreme Player?
Save for a few people who had more than a decade-old experience with Laser Tag, the bloggers who played in last weekend’s Lazer Tag Event at LazerXtreme were on an equal playing field. The fourteen players had no idea what the maze looked like and what the best strategy was for accumulating the most points.
Players score by making beams of laser hit blinking pads on an opposing player’s armor located on the shoulders, torso and back. The laser is propagated from a phasor (i.e. the laser gun). The game is made more interesting by the fact that the phasor itself is a valid target. Once a player is hit, his phasor shuts down and is rendered helpless for a few seconds. Not all hits are equal -tags made to the front of the armor carry more weight than the other sensors. Players could also score by shooting down an opposing team’s base suspended from the arena ceiling.
There are elevated portions in the arena. The place is pitch black and the only thing that you’ll see are the blinking lights from the armor. It’s literally a labirynth of walls, windows and ramps but it’s hard to get lost inside. You’ll almost always have two options at any single time. This makes navigating through it fairly easy. This also makes predicting the movement of other players more tedious and challenging.The pictures were taken with flash so it may seem like the arena was well lit.
