MEDIA REVIEW
ALEX WHARTON ON CALL OF
DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3
Y
ou’ll have heard this a million times before, but I’m going to say it
anyway: Bloody hell! Where has the year gone?
All in all 2011 has been a really weird year. With so much happening – not least the launch of a certain airsoft magazine – it has just
flown by and, by the time you read this, you will hopefully be looking
forwards to a bit of a break.
It has been a tough year for many, and as I see it things are not likely to
change any time soon. But despite everything that has been thrown at (and
taken away from) us, airsoft has continued to thrive. Yes, this year has seen
one or two closures but there have also been shop openings, moves to bigger
premises, new sites starting up… and I’ve lost count of how much new stuff’s
landed on the shelves this year!
What this all means is that 2012 will be a great year for airsoft, and a great
year for Airsoft Action. I believe that, with some serious hard work, 2012 can
be the year that airsoft finally comes out from under the radar. There are some
big players out there taking notice of our little game and, if just half of what
they are planning comes to fruition, the next 12 months will see an explosion of
interest – which can only be good for the future of airsoft.
So from me and all of us here at Airsoft Action, whatever you are doing
and wherever you are, dig out the brandy and mince pies and have a great
Christmas and New Year – we’ll see you on the other side!
