I'm 6'3 and used to be over 300, so I feel your pain.

Best compromise between comfort and load bearing options I've found is running a 'recon' style chest rig and a battle belt
Check out the Tactical Tailor MAV (buckle/ split front version) for something real nice, alternatively Condor makes a few rigs in that style which land squarely in the 'good enough' category.
They're designed to sit high on your body (chest rig means chest), so crawling around is a lot easier.
Using a battle belt with it means you can carry all of your other crap on your hips which will be easier on your back over long games, and you just buy a pistol belt sized to fit and thread the 'battle belt' portion onto it.

Just be sure to wear that belt on top of your hips (old man pants height) and not under your gut or you'll be miserable.
Seriously, airsofters gotta pull up their damn pants.
