Call for Games for [WAN], [LAN] or [BOTH]

GhostMjr · May 03, 2010, 03:41:32 PM

Hi all,

As you know this is our Gaming development section but what does that mean?

Basically games that have been released in the past that we may have overlooked such as day of defeat source aswell as the future that could be suitable for both LAN and WAN for dMw.

I need your help and so does dMw!

I would like to expand our horizons for games and see what other gems are out there.

Simply put its a bit of a dry season but i want to have 2 solid games that we could play at the lans and possibly another 2 added to dmw's WAN catalogue.

I look forward to your suggestions and please for all future posts put [LAN], [WAN] or [BOTH] at the end of your topic titles to help the process.

Thanks for all your input.

Regards,

GM

Yes please.

We had several problems at the LAN this weekend which meant we couldn't really play CoD4 or L4D2. We know that BC2 is out as well.

We really need simple games with simple buttons that can be picked up and enjoyed by LAN attendees without having to have had previous experience of it.

Any thoughts or ideas welcomed.

Thanks

PS. I'm still keen to find a suitable flight combat type game as I think it would have great appeal.

UT3 or varent we can even have teams playing?

I've mentioned that one to ghost. I think it's got the most promise of the games I own for LAN play & graphics.
It needs looking into.

Looks like a fun diversion. I see it can be played 4vs4 which is fine for the LAN.

Presumaly it can just be hosted by one of the machines etc?

I bet there are some good UT3 mods out there waiting to be discovered...

We seem to have missed out UT3 completely at the lans.. Wasn't there a footy version / mod? I'm sure Sheepy would know..

Can anyone who is remotely interested download the demo if Airfix Dogfighter.

I know the graphics are poor but I think it's got potential. It's quick, easy and think it would appeal to the pi$$ed masses.

Any thoughts?

edit: I'm d/ling this as it's free. Worth a look http://download.cnet.com/Fighter-Ace-10th-Anniversary-Edition/3000-7544_4-10

It a good laugh but I dont really see it replacing the CoD or L4D2 as a main lan game
