I play lasertag weekly, in an arena. We play on Laser Force gear. But we do not play normal lasertag.

Normal lasertag - shoot people they go down, get shot you go down no strategy.

Our Game: Space Marines 5. Limited lives, limited ammo, 5 different positions, real strategy needed.

The entirety of the rules can be found here.

Essentially they are this:

Commander has 3 hit points (3 normal shots to deactivate), and 2 shot power, he gets enough specials (by killing people) and he can let off a nuke which deactivates the entire other team and takes 3 lives from each person.

Heavy Weapons has 3 hit points, 3 shot power, tough dude.

Scout gets lots of lives, lots of shots but only 1hp and 1power. Get enough specials and they can turn on rapid fire.

Ammo Carrier has unlimited ammo but limited lives, if he shoots his own team while they are activated they get more ammo.

Medic has limited shots and lives, shoots his own team to give them lives. Sorta played like the king in chess - if the medic dies the game ends soon.

We play with a 15 minutes limit, scores being the goal.

I know someone made lasertag (bbc I think). I would really like to see some form of this in SL, but I don't have the time to make it. :(
