Games Committee - Games Discussion for LAN XIX

Penfold · February 24, 2011, 04:36:40 PM

Busy so this will be be succinct.

Any AoE game will be too long to run and take too long for people to learn.
We tried TF2 it it was not liked as it was deemed to be too cartoony. However on a Friday night when everyone's had a few it may have potential

Agreed TF2 was a giggle but we never picked it up as a supported game, as it only had novelty value for us. It might be fun as a Friday night tourny. From memory I think we just played big 10-15 a side games. I'd certainly be up for a bit of black Scottish Cyclops mayhem.

As for Shogun 2, it's normal for the demo to be the single player introductory training levels and no more, so I doubt there will be any content we can play at the LAN sadly. From memory there were a few Starcraft 2 games going on but it's a Hard Core RTS and we'd have to have full copies. Also the difference between a new player and someone with experience is huge, so first time players will get the snot kicked out of them every time.

Also sc2 doesn't have LAN support so with the link we have it a no go

TF2 is insanely good fun, with the addition of beer it becomes hillarious.

A friday night TF2 server would be a great idea, imo

If we can, let's set a deadline up for the 1st March to get the format up and posted. That'll give us four weeks. Good work chaps :thumbsup2:

As per my original deadline what I wanted to propose was options.

It looks like we have the time-trial all sowed up.

Other than that there hasn't been anything truely new to consider tbh. Outside of the usual standard I don't see one new game that dMw is supporting that it can support at the LAN.

What I would like to present to the attendees is a list that we can / will play on our servers and a list that we can not but may be supported. It's no one's fault but the Hotel so let's hope our discussions with them this time are fruitful.

In Any Case.... Games suggested so far on this thread:

Arma 2 OA (LAN Server)
CoD 4 (LAN Server)
L4D 1/2 (LAN Server)
Deagle (LAN Server)
NFS: Shift Flying Lap (Projector)
Unreal Tournement 3 (LAN Server)
Battlefield 2 (LAN Server)
Breach (new purchase)
Soldat (LAN Server)
NFS:Split Second (LAN Server)
Dogfighter (LAN Server)
TF2 (

)
NFSS 2 (

)

Please let me know if I've missed any out.. do not suggest new games at this point please. ty

Counter Strike:Source (I know deagle is on the list but I'd like to see normal CS:S as an option as it's the best fun of the LAN for me as most people have it).

dod:s and tf2 are missing from both polls on the forum aswell as LFD.

Gone_Away · February 28, 2011, 11:40:16 PM

LFD 1/2 is there as a choice.

TF2 I thought we ruled out but obviously not.. My apologies.

DOD:S was never supported by dMw (less than TF2) and as only one person posted about it I didn't think it had any legs.

Sorry but you're a bit late to the party to start chiming in now..
