Following the thread from earlier I just got curious... I don't game much anymore, but for me it would be
ARMA II. Imho it has potential, but I am not sure we have enough members willing to climb the learning curve and also come to terms with the fact that ARMA II isn't really a game as much as a simulation... I am not sure I have eithr...

Umm
The 2 I play would be TF2 and UT3, both I seem to remeber have either been tried or where rejected as we had only just got the CoD4 servers in and up.
Also play Arma II
I think that's a game much like Team Fortress 2. Some people will love it, but many others won't. It also competes a bit with CoD 4 which people are still starting to play. I played the demo of Arma II and didn't think it felt like a finished game, though it had some really great ideas that I'd like to see move across to other FPS games.
Maybe when it's patched I'll change my mind.
Again I think TF2 is a great game specifically for team work. But I think it's unfair to use the server space for a TF2 server again. We've tried many times but people just don't seem to want to use it.
I play the Warcraft 3 scenario dota a lot (defense of the ancients).
It is basically 2 teams of 5 fighting each other with hero's and it is super dependant on team play. So if anyone else plays dota, let me know ;)

but... what do YOU play? :)
FM 2009
Plants vs Zombies
AA2 (all 2 hours of it so far - I really need to give it a decent play)
CS:Source GunGame
NeoTokyo
Left 4 Dead
and maybe Arma2 when i buy it.
FM2009 (Benny's Vauxhall Challenge)
Dawn of War (would love a massive scrimish with dMw)
UT3
DODS
Vegas 2
GRAW 2
Insurgency
All have potential I reckon.
I think this is the best Counterstrike game I've found
http://www.onlinegames.net/games/934/counterstrike.html
others include L4D and NeoTokyo
Quote from: delanvital;283490but... what do YOU play? :)
I play a bit of TF2, but mostly Counterstrike and L4D (mostly because they're already supported - I only really play online with dmw in these games). I got CoD 4 to join in with that but I think because it wasn't the steam server browser and I didn't have HLSW at the time I found it a pain to see if a game was on. Might give it a go when I have my internet connected next week (borrowing at the moment).
I gave Americas Army 3 a go and it seems pretty good, I've not played it enough to see if it's right for DMW, but it is free.
I don't think any other of the games I have would work too well, not sure if Stalker or Farcry 2 even have multiplayer, and Crysis wars wasn't great and most of our members are or relatively low spec machines.
IL2 on thursdays (after l4d) and sundays, with the danger dogs clan
I would like to play dod source and team fortress 2 in dmw.
Play them alot elsewhere :D

yah! what a great idea im up for that :woot2:
Aces highII is a great game ive played also, go here Link (http://www2.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html) to have a look, its a cracking game, only thing is its monthly subscription, but you do get a 2 week trial and you dont have to enter any card details at all for the trial. one to look at maybe?
IL2?
I just have to post this:

Look at the posting date. Good to see we're going for modern games :roflmao::roflmao:
On a serious note, I've been looking for a dog-fighting style game for the LAN as it's something which I think lots of people would enjoy as a diversion. So well up for introducing it if it's popular. We bandied around the idea of Red Baron but it wouldn't work on 64-bit.
I presume it's an updated version we're talking about and commonly played?
ARMA2 has dog fighting
Yes but I'm not sure how many people we lose that can't run it?

B-17 Flying Fortress is good in multiplayer, althought the graphics leave alot to be desired :roflmao:
TF2, and Company of Heroes.
Arma 2 is just too damn buggy...
TF2, and the occasional wander back into supreme commander.
Neither if which are strong contenders for dMw imo.
So, depite my subtle musings, everyone is posting up random games that they play now and then that are of no use to us. Saying I'd love a a game of Speedball now and then helps nobody.
The only really sensible pieces I've seen in here are Arma 2 and a flight sim. Frankly the flight sim piece is with Sulky. He's made the effort to set something up so people with an interest should get over there and try it. Perhaps a thread discussing flight sims. I'm sure our resident pilots would love the opportunity to play more. Blurring this thread with it isn't working.
Arma 2 is, it would appear, buggy and not everyone's idea of fun, but the potential is there for a good dMw game IMO.
We need to stop looking at 'I like this' and 'I like that' and start thinking how it would benefit the community and how it would attract like minded individuals.
From here I would say...let's discuss Arma 2 and other new releases and get on board with them early. NeoTokyo is a great example.
Flightsims are slightly different, start some threads based on genre.
Oh, and I'm off to edit the top post now to clean things up....
/moan
Oh, and by the way, if you want an easy to pick up LAN game with minimal spec requirements, http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/sim/airfixdogfighter/index.html?tag=result;title;0 is superb for a fve minute fix.
I'm not sure we'lre talking about a flight sim as opposed to a flight combat sim.
Though much as it sounds fun flying in 'real time' over the Atlantic in a 747 I'd rather get to shoot the ass of someone dogfighting in a Spitfire.
Each to their own I know but they're very different beasts.
Arma II has bucket's of potential, but it's probably a good 2 or 3 patches away from being playable online.
That and the fact that our server likes to ban retail copies on sight :P
One for the future, if they can iron out the bugs.
I only downloaded Neo-whatshisface this morning, so I haven't had a chance to play it yet - looks quite good from what I've seen online though.
Has anyone played Insurgency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency:_Modern_Infantry_Combat) recently? I remember giving it a try when it first came out a couple of years back and it was a very solid Source mod - super realistic and highly teamwork flavoured.
I love insurgency!
On some servers its so tactical and realistic, we tried it here but only about 4 or 5 of us seemed to like it :(

Red Orchestra is another mod that springs to mind, but last time I played it was a bit rough around the edges - anyone played it recently?

I have to say I agree. After about 3 flights I try flying as low as possible without crashing, switching my engines off mid flight etc to make things interesting. Combat Flight sim was great back in the day I got IL-2 a while back in a bundle and haven't play it, I wonder if this is similar or more regular flight sim. I keep meaning to check.
I think the issue with Insurgency and Red Orchestra is the similarity to what we have already and that dilutes our existing player base rather than grabs new ones...unless it's done carefully.
If you have CoD, CS, Insurgency, DoD...is there enough difference to warrant trying another server. I'll add them to the top list and as we whittle them down to the 'worth investigating' we'll go from there.
And for those that can't look at the first post for lazy reasons;

I do think a strategy game would add more diversity, however I'm not sure what is popular currently or if it would take off well.

We have a strategy-gaming section which, however, is rather dead...
Well, lets get it going again then :D
