Ok folks, hosting a LAN party very soon, and I need some game variety. You of course have your Age of Empires 2, but most of my other games consist of Source mods, and L4D, and AVP2. I need some nice suggestions! Older games and easy to acquire games are better, and newer games that are a bit difficult on anything but new systems are also avoided somewhat, but really any suggestions are helpful.

bleh Age of Kings is nothing for a lan party when compared to Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome. you can download it for free at nahoo.com. Typical settings are:

Deathmatch on The Hill country map. Population limit 200 iron age reveal maps.


endless hours upon hours of fun.

If you end up playing it PM me and i will IP in.

Lan Parties are for losers and 13 year olds

Man Parties on the other hand are a great excuse to lay out the tarpaulin and a bucket full of dildos

Any of the Total War series is a winner.

We tried that once, only a few of my friends knew the game, so the others got totally wiped out while the rest tried to figure controls. But I am going to force them to try again anyway :P

Badem, I sometimes feel you forget where you are most of the time.

Flatout 2 is in my opinion the far best LAN game and I don't even enjoy racing games normally, and I guess that Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is also a quite safe bet.

I bet you don't even know her name - it's just the girl with the massive boobs, the girl with pert boobs, the girl with a nice ass, and the fuglies in your team. Amiright?

Badem

You have obviously never done any of the above if you post that and try to act manly on a mmo forum.

Yeah, that's right, keep dreaming; the only way those titties will be exposed for your ugly mug is if you rape her.

Starcraft: Broodwar, Warcraft 3 (lots and lots of retarded fun-maps on bnet), Quake 3, Counter-strike (any), Civilization (if you have 12+ hours to spare), Street Fighter 3, Red Alert 3 or Men of War.

Also Rune: Halls of Valhalla.

Some suggestions:

FarCry
Easy to get, will run on most computers now days, and is a surprisingly fun FPS to play. A bit different than CS and Quake, with more open ended maps and vehicles. Sniping for example makes more sense here than in most other classic LAN fps.

Warcraft - Dota
Also easy to get. Just install warcraft 3 and download the newest map here: http://www.getdota.com/. Some people prefer one of the older maps as well, but can't remember which it was.

Rune
Will run on a toaster now days. One of the very best LAN games. A perfect game to set up a tournament in, especially on the arena maps. Viking themed FPS with swords, axes and decapitations :p

Homeworld - Cataclysm
Takes a round or two before everyone feels comfortable with the research and upgrade system, as well as using the strategic map to move around, but once you get into it, it is a very fun LAN game. Playing in teams is especially fun, and then backstabbing your teammate at the right moment :p

Nah.. Badem is obviously one of those popular guys who has his life sorted. I thought there where mostly no-life nerds hanging on these forums, but I think Badem established that he is not one of them now. I know I'm in awe of him at least. He must get laid all the time, while we waste our time on computer games :(

This sort of talk is dangerous.

While I know Badem isn't your typical nerd, I also know that his ego is so big that admitting so would be treacherous for Forumfalls health.

Yeah I only come on here during work, makes my day more amusing and go a little quicker so its all good

Did I ever tell you how I killed those goats with that bayonet attachment for my dick? Hold on, I wrote down every gory detail for you to revel in. BRB.

AvP2 is a good choice as long as you have everyone roll back to the early patches before they added mouse over names, and uberized marines.

I could go either way, but I'd have to say AvP2 is more fun. The maps are much better for Aliens as well. 1 had too many long open corridors for my taste.

The map design for 2 was better but that was the only strong point. Anyway the only map you ever needed on 1 was jockey. Favoured each species equally.

Duke nuked 3d in the Arena with a couple of friends, best LAN game ever

Or Armed Assault 2 if you're lucky enough to live in nazi land.

Go to a pub do your thing there then go back to your home and start lan-ing.They would need to sleep over for about 2 days so that you give it some time for the hangover to go away. Its fun.


Try playing rts like age of empires,red alert 3.Find these kind of games where co-operating with teamplay can do a lot of difference.

You can't have a LAN party with buckets. You need something to hold your Saturday night loser's tears in.
