You Have The Power to Influence the Games Played / Game Competitions!!BrotherTobious and I are always looking to enhance your LAN and the games that we organise for competitions / cooperative play.
We'd like to compile a list of your ideas for new games that we can play during the weekend of the LAN.
Outside of some simple guidelines, the door is open to your suggestions. We will let this thread have a life of it's own. At the end of July, we'll close this thread and compile your ideas and put them up to a vote.
Some Simple Guidelines:- Game must be readily available
- Preference on affordability (£15 max)
- Preference on LAN support (due to limited internet connection at the hotel
A free and excessively fun little game is Soldat. It's a side-view. You control an itty bitty soldier with some heavy firepower, and it's a free-for-all firefight.
Hmm not sure if ARMA III will count, as it is still only a beta, but a few of us have some great fun with this one.
Red Orchestra 2 is also crackin' good fun, and the new expansion is really top notch and only 15 quid.
L4D2, now I know we play this already, but would it be an idea to have a list of workshop maps to download before the lan, so everyone has them in advance? There is some really great content on there :)
For anyone that likes to play strategy games (think C&C etc), I personally would LOVE to play a few games of things like Company of Heroes, Sins of a Solar Empire, and so on. Sins is my personal fave strategy game out there, it will kill hours and hours of your life if you let it suck you in.
There we go just a few ideas :)
A couple of suggestions....
Rising Storm (http://store.steampowered.com/app/234510/) - £15. I believe it supports a dedicated LAN server, fantastic team-based shooter.
DOTA 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/570/) - £6.99, but we have quite a few free invites we can give away (I have about 15 alone).
How about some racing... F1 2012 supports LAN gaming, can be found for as cheap as £6 on Amazon.
Some sort of FIFA knockout competition? Could stick it up on the projector for a bit of atmosphere :)
I'm sure there are others that I haven't thought of. Where's Lib when you need him? He literally has all the games.
I haven't tried it, but the one that Elly mentioned, The Hidden (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?38376-The-Hidden-Source-Mod) looks like it could be a laugh.
And CS:GO obviously.

CS:GO will be being played as per mate dont worry.
Thanks Toby and Ninja for putting this up.
Need for Speed Split Second- LAN capability has been at a few lans already
Wolfenstein enemy territory- bit of an old one but we never actually gave this a go
Day of Defeat Source
Sniper Elite V2 or Sniper Elite Zombie
Counterstrike 1.6- reunion match
dead island apparently has lan capability
Am a big fan and would work well. Team Fortress 2
I like Tuts idea of a FIFA comp on the big screen as long as I don't partner Mr Tobious who quite frankly wont end up with 11 men on the pitch.
Killing Floor is basic zombie shooter but works very well in team play. 75% off on steam this month.
Some Unreal Tournament would be cool.. Instant gib or normal don't mind.
Perhaps some RTS like Age of empires, Company of Heroes, Dawn or War 2 or even some Total War.
Lastly for kicks and giggles Magicka after a few beers is guaranteed to have you laughing, Perhaps a comp of how far can a team of 4 go in 15 mins.
these are some really good suggestions people! keep 'em coming!
I like the idea of FIFA I have a copy and controllers to so if there is enough interest and not enough time we could run it on 2 machines
Obviously I would like to see rising storm but we may not get enough interest, not only that I can't even work out myself how a round is won, it has a rather bizarre scoring system.
battlefield 2....used to be awesome at lan events, doesn't nearly everybody have it as well
Unfortunately, its an absolute pain in to get working with a modern OS/GPU.

Gortex has some good ones, TF2 would be good, and some of those RTS.
And Unreal Tournament would be great :)
Final patch of BF2 should run fine with modern crapola. I played it just the other day. Ran it at 1920*1080.
I was utter crap at it though. Modern BF has ruined what skills I had :p
BF2 we tried and it really didnt work very well or in most cases at all :( but keep those ideas coming. :)

This game could be a bit fun ;) http://store.steampowered.com/app/219640/
Chivalry is a fun game - not sure its a dmw game though, very much a fraghunter/deathmatch game.

True but could still be fun after a few beers ;)
Well, I bought it a while back so will happily chop up/be chopped up if anyone fancies a go at it :)
Would anyone be up for a game or two of "Mashed" or similar micro-machines clone/HD remake. Really great 4 player VS on a single screen. Used to play this all the time at parties as its really easy to pick up and a really good laugh.
Gameplay here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf-0oekXWB0)
We could do a for fun tourney on the projector with no problems or just for lolz.
Cheers,

Well Chivalry is on sale now at 75% off on steam so might be worth the buy if we plan to have a bash at it over the lan.
bought
Guys loving the ideas we will look at the end of this to find which games. Please think before you purchase as we may end up not playing it.

Day of Defeat Source.. On sale too!
DoD is pretty good, I have to say i prefer the old one rather than source but its still a good game.
What about Natural Selection if we are talking about HL2 mods.
I would love to play TFC again, great game better than TF2 IMO!
GTA2 has a multi-player over LAN which could be a real laugh! Games like Worms would also be pretty epic.

A very quick game, free and run in a browser. Might be a laugh to see who gets the highest score through the weekend.

Dear god that's stressful.
King Arthurs Gold (http://kag2d.com/en/)look interesting, up to 32 players in 2 teams building defensive and offensive stuff then attacking. From the makers of Soldat.
Currently Pay-What-You-Want for the Beta access, on sale on IndieGameStand.com (http://indiegamestand.com)
[video=youtube;rh52OahYxIw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh52OahYxIw[/video]
And there is a free version for those not wanting to buy, looks like the bought version gives more customisation and a single player mode, but the code appears to be the same for both with just a login for premium access.

I seem to get to about $200-220k and then it all goes a bit awry and people die! :blush:
Brought Chivalry in the sale and quite frankly it is excellent for a quick run around and kill people. Not tried the objective versions or CTF but definitely something worth having a bash at before or at the lan.

Several members from dMw got it during the Steam Summer Sale, me included, could be a laugh.
I suggest http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html no muting sound.
ONE more day guys get your ideas in :)

Liking this game, would be a great laugh, hacking off arms and heads with my battle axe is cool (complete with spurting blood).
There are several game modes, CTF, Objective, Deathmatch, Conquest,Duel. The potential for hilarity is big in this one...
Unreal Tournament would be a laugh, I've got a communal copy plus patches etc.
Aye, unreal would be a great game to play :D
UT, cheap easy to play and everyone's PC can run it.
If it moves shoot it, if it doesn't move shoot it until it moves and then shoot it some more. What else do you need for a LAN game?
Quote from: BrotherTobious;373680ONE more day guys get your ideas in :)
FIFA please:) definitely FIFA :D
Some Bad Company 2 would be cool.

how about TF2?
I won't be participating, but won't stop me suggesting some ideas!
I heard about Payday 2 coming out, while I haven't properly researched about the multiplayer in it, but it would be a great LAN game if competitive teams were employed in its multiplayer when it's released?
Thank you for all your ideas. We will get back to you with a poll or ideas in the near future.
