Games with not many people

Other than target shooting and free for all, what are some games you can play without many people (good for some new(er) people im playing with)?

-Simple Force v. Force (CLASSIC!)
-Capture the Flag (Good for medium sized groups)
-Freezeball (Like Freeze-Tag...but more painful)
-Mercy Games (No "1 hit your out" rules...you shoot until the pain is so much that they call themselves out)

i wouldn't recommend the mercy game..... its not safe even for experienced players (unless you are decked out in full gear.....

Heheheh just throwing it out there
Nothings will scare a newbie out of playing like raw pain!

...but NoNeed2 is right...don't do it...

The last two weekends, I played with only one other guy from my team. We did an attack and defense sort of thing. One player's objective is to reach a specific point or touch a specific object. The other player's objective is to stop them. We did it either as a count-your-hit game or a pain game. In count-your-hit, if you're hit, you get to cover and call your hit, and if you're hit a certain number of times, you're out. Respawning back where you started is rather annoying with only two people playing, especially when your field is on a giant hill. With only a few people playing, count-your-hit is probably my personal favorite hit management method. One-hit-respawn would be ideal with enough people though.

MaMaaaaaaaa !!!!

What´s the matter with a good Mercy Match ?? Eye and Mouth Protection, T-Shirt, Jeans and Boots, Bring on the Pain !!! I´m So there !!! Who´s with me ???

Kidding aside, you really don´t want to start playing the Mercy side of AirSoft as a new player, the risk of serious injury is just to great.

For small games, keep it simple, the best ones have already been named,

Force on Force,
Deathmatch,
Stalking,

if they start to get boring, it means your getting better, then change them up, do a stalking against an unarmed opponent, Hunters must search out the target person, the target person must try to achieve a simple goal, i.e. Ring a bell, blow an airhorn, capture a flag. Now your starting to fine tune your movement techniques, use of cover, maximizing the use of terrain and so on. Hunters cannot be within 50-75 Meters of the opponents goal, now your forcing your hunters to maximize all their skills, Eyesight, Hearing, Target Identification, Movement, Communication, Channelizing you Opponent and on and on.

Simple and Fun, that´s the Ticket.

Slob had a lot of great suggestions in that lost post, Those hunter/stalker games can be very fun when you're tired of the regular TDM games. We played all kinds of variations like that back in the day, they really help you hone your stealth and stalking skills.

I can't remember too many different games now, as the last game I participated in had over 200 people

Only other suggestion I have is throw in a strictly CQB game every now and then, it keeps things fun and fast-paced when you want to.

If you have an open feild or yard throw in a pistols only. If everyone has gas use them, if they don't have everyone use springers. Very fun game just do the count your hit thing Omega said.

Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate all the replies

Save the pilot.
One man put in a remote area with a pistol or other small arms weapon and small amount of ammo. One or two other men try to save him and escort him to the "L-Z" while fighting a larger force.
This game was inspired by "Black Hawk Down"
