TagParty RECON Outdoor Laser Tag Field is Now Open at Savage Mill in Maryland

Sept. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- TagParty is extremely pleased to be able to finally offer a dedicated outdoor laser tag field  in Maryland. Outdoor laser tag is a hybrid between, and incorporates the best aspects of, paintball and traditional laser tag. The game play is challenging, exhilarating and a lot of fun, without the pain associated with paintball.

The new TagParty RECON field incorporates many of the game play aspects associated with modern first person shooter video games like "Halo", "Call of Duty", "Day of Defeat" etc. There are multiple mission objectives and a variety of strategies that teams can implement to successfully achieve their goals.

Played on four and a half acres of woodland, the players have to stealthily find their way through the trees and brush, and capture numerous Flags without being eliminated. The natural cover is augmented with barriers (bunkers) and eliminated players can be respawned back into the game from recharge stations where they can also pick up ammo and health points.

Groups of players form teams, or tag parties, with each trying to collect as many Flags as possible while losing as few lives a possible. The captured Flags are electronically registered on the players Tagger, along with a record of how many times the player was eliminated and who tagged them. The Taggers have a range of 700 feet in bright sunlight and are equipped with a scope and head sensors. Each Tagger has a unique identification name so that players can tell who hit them and how often .The scoring is done electronically, there is no "wiping" of paint, thus eliminating cheating associated with paintball.

The TagParty RECON is located adjacent to the Historic Savage Mill in Maryland and makes use of the Mill's West parking lot and facilities. The Field is open on the weekends and by special arrangement during the week, play ends before dusk.

Reservations to play are not required, but strongly advised especially for groups, as there are limits on the number of players allowed on the field at any one time. Additionally, some game times are reserved for advanced players, others for novices and also by age group, so check for any restrictions at the time you want to play.
