Unreal tourny(Older Versions)
Armagetron(great little startup game)
For higher spec
Hl2 Mods: CCS, ZPS, Hidden, PVK II, Dystopia, GoldenEye Source,
UT3
Quake 4
There is loads others and i hold lans regularly but there is a start
Company of Heroes is one i've always wanted to try, cos on a LAN it shouldn't be too laggy. Mainly because you can avoid Relics lovely servers.
Crysis? Could be fun just to run around and blow stuff up![]()
Haven't LAN'd in years, but back in the 'old days', my buds and I tended to play Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, Raven Shield, Half-Life, Empire Earth, Rise of Nations, Freelancer, Aliens versus Predator, Unreal Tournament, Medal of Honor, Ruthless.com, and a few others I've forgotten. Man, that was a while back, it feels like...
Titan Quest
Diablo II
NWN 1 or 2 (you can play the entire single player campaign cooperatively)
Unreal Tournament - Thievery Mod; its a lot of fun! especially the "crack arrows", its coop; guards vs thieves or thief match (competitive stealing).
Vampire the Masquerade Redemption
System Shock 2
Farcry!! - pick this up for £4.99 all over the place at the mo
...theres my suggestions.
I believe Team Fortress 2 was also played by a fair few people last weekend too, add that to the list. Defo UT though, smashing fun that![]()
cool, cheers chaps, yeah there is normal 6 of us, so some of the games here might be in the next lan do.
i can vouch for company of heroes and rise of nations, had a blast with them on lan, freelancer is a brilliant game but i dont know how it would play with 6 ppl, but worth a look in my opinion
ah rise of nations! forgot about that 1! Cheers!
Our current and past favourites are:
Batlefield 1942 (+Desert Combat mod)
UT2004
SWAT 3 (buggy but hilarious, need a mod for >5 players)
SWAT 4 (less buggy, and less fun but still entertaining)
Ghost Recon (awesome AI, never the same mission twice, great if you like sniping)
Ghost Recon 2 Advanced Warfighter
Farcry ( machete-only deathmatch on the beach is hilarious)
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (Installs in 3 seconds, we operate a hadnicap system where the decency of your car is increased or decreased according to your race finish position, which helps accommodate different levels of skill/drunkeness!)
TOCA 2
Worms (for the 5-6am slot)
Armagetron (awesome, plus you can play one-handed to help with input of pizza or beer, the best thing about this game is being able to change your name on the fly for pun-tastic fun)
Rainbow 6 Vegas and Call of Duty 4 are also a lot of fun, as is GRID, but with lots of people they tend to be too taxing for at least somebody.
