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

No, that's not the intent.

The idea is that we try to offer more in the way of supported games over the weekend. We think we should try something for the Friday daytime as well as something post steak night on Friday night. This would be one of the Friday night games when everyone's had a fair bit to drink and so a drop in, drop out game of something light may be in order.

We played it (airfix) at the last LAN I was at and it was a bit of fun. It runs locally on PC so it's not really a supported if that makes sense.

Soldat is much more fun though once people get passed the poor graphics. Rambo mode is made for the LAN.

For an all-out-free-for-all-multiplayer frag fest you can't beat UT. You can dip into it as and when you want and the plethora of modes means that most tastes can be catered for, although I can't recall there being a naked one? :norty:

Also everyone knows how to play FPS games so there is not much too learn, if it moves shoot it until it stops moving.

AFAIK, it's the "twitch deathmatch" aspect of UT that tends to put alot of Deadmen off. I quite enjoy it, but most seem to prefer something a bit slower and more tactical.

I think it's worth exploring the UT mod community though - there's probably more than a few hidden gems we haven't heard of.

EDIT: How's about this? http://www.moddb.com/mods/angels-fall-first-planetstorm

At the first few LANs we played a football mod of UT, that was quite fun..

I vouch for a theme LAN.

Next LAN we do Oldskool:
- bomberman
- warcraft III
- Command and Conquer
- Unreal Tournament III
- Doom 3D

That would be this

For UT2004 it would seem.

Some suggestions that just popped into my head:

SWAT 4 - It's an oldie, but it had one of the best Multiplayer experiences ever. I would urge you all to investigate. Highly tactical, incredibly tense.

Unreal Tournament 1v1 Instagib - We could run this as a short tournament on Friday night/Sunday morning. Fast and furious.

Sensible Soccer - Or a more modern equivalent. We could run some sort of mini World Cup comp across the weekend?

Team Fortress 2 - Somewhat neglected by DMW, its still one of the finest team-based shooters ever made. Would be amazing to have the entire room playing this - riotous fun.

Serious Sam HD - Bonkers co-op fun. I'm not sure on player numbers here though.

Some multiplayer co-op football would be great. 11 v 11....superb

Liberator · May 06, 2010, 06:38:45 PM

Quake II - mods
Catch The Chicken
Jail Break

Good old fun games

That sounds like a laugh..

I had to double take to make sure I wasn't reading a thread from LAN 1 - you guys aren't seriously looking at digging out all these old games are you? Surely we should be looking forward to new games?

If your serious heres some other suggestions:

Rebelstar raiders
Chaos

They don't have lan capability but are hotseat compatible :narnar:
