You know it would suck if you fell out of one of those helicopters while heading to the LZ. There were no doors on those things I can just see Orlando Bloom falling out of one again.

There was a game out here a while back that had a helicopter in it. I think it was called End of Lies, it was pretty epic.

We call it Endless Lies/Op Dinner Out (whatever number it was). Don't lie about the terribleness of Endless Lies.

Considering it was the last in the series it was an end of lies of sorts.

End O'Lies was pretty much an epic failure. Lots of hype and no delivery from the "promoter" I paid the extra $100 to fly in the Robinson R44 and hose down people with my SAW, that was cool but didi not make up for the anger I felt toward the dude who got away with over 5K. He spent most of the time drinking and was a major pain in the a$$ the whole game. If a person was able to access a CH47 , that would be good to do an insertion. Fast roping or any other type of insertion would be fraught with problems / liability. I doubt that any of you would like to pay the freight for a chinook. A small bird runs 5K a flight hour for logging purposes, I'm guessing a Chinook would be a bit more.
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
and discerning if he holds his tongue.

Helicopters aren't outside of the realm of possibility. Folks rent them (and the services of pilots) all the time to move Christmas trees and do other farm work. I've heard quotes from $500 up to $1200/hr depending on the type of helicopter. So it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that at a 300 person game with an entry fee of $30 or $40 per person, an event coordinator could afford to rent 1 or 2 helicopters at least for an hour or two for an insertion. You could probably set it down on the logging road at splat action, the "airfield" in R&R, several places at Sniperz Den.

That's what the guy did at OP end of lies, they were just late and he seriously upsidedown it up.
