Back in 2001 or so, I organized a 127 acre airsoft game called "The Art of War" with over 100 players from all over the midwest.
Actually, we probably only used 80 acres of it but still....some called it the best game ever.

Rather than run straight up elimination, teams accrued points by holding positions at certain times. You've got the bunker at noon? That's a point. 12:05? Nothing. This led to us desperately defending objectives against 6-to-1 odds waiting for the ref to announce that we'd scored the point.
Long periods of silence and slow creeping punctuated by moments of sprinting when you were spotted. Some of the most fun I ever had.
