Any Chance of playing command and conquer zero hour, battlefield 1942 sww2?

We could play some older games, although Fred might yell out 'lame' or something to that effect but if you get enough people intrested we could give them a go. Having new releases might distract people from going to some of the classics.

zh is a pain in the arse to install

and there are updated versions of battlefield 42, that are better.

Air buccaneers thats a different story!

Hollis · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:20 am

AIR BUCCANEERS!

But if you think ZH is a pain to install, with Air Buccaneers don't you need to install UT2004 and then the mod?

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 11:35 am

I think that is just fred's way of saying he can't be bothered. Air Buccaneers on the other hand is completely worth it :-)

D_MaN · **Posted:** Fri Nov 13, 2009 9:02 pm

starcraft=)
diablo 2

Thommo · **Posted:** Fri Nov 13, 2009 9:55 pm

I'd be up for some old school RTS like Starcraft but I'll pass on Diablo since I prefer competitive multiplayer games at lans and not story driven co-op games.

D_MaN · **Posted:** Sun Nov 15, 2009 5:27 pm

yeah definately an old school game or 2.

I know many of you may see this coming but....DotA?

D_MaN · **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2009 7:55 pm

im up for some DOTA.
But im a little unpracticed so am quite bad atm.

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2009 10:07 pm

You still wont be as bad as me ;-)

Hollis · **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2009 2:56 pm

So we will be playing Air Buccaneers then?

Thommo · **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2009 3:02 pm

If people want to install it and play properly.

So what are the new game arrivals for this LAN Thommo?

Thommo · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2009 11:50 am

Well I've been playing a bit of borderlands lately. Hopefully we might be able to find some kind of workaround so we can play MW2 and L4D2 at the lan since we wont be able to have steam online. It's getting a bit frustrating that games aren't including lan functionality. I'm not really into Epic RPG's so I haven't picked up Dragon Age. I think thats the main big games. I don't think I have anything else on my radar before the lan. Maybe Dirt 2 depending on how it reviews and I've been playing the Monkey Island games... looks like another episode is out soon.

Alright sounds good.

Thommo · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:44 pm

Or you can just play Dota :-P

ill connect my phone to pc and enter offline mode in steam a workaround for my problems at the last lan, i was so unprepared at the last one and then patching holy s**t that took a long time!

Thommo · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2009 3:25 pm

Pro-tip: It's always good to make sure everything on steam works in offline mode before you leave home :-)

pro-tip: remember pro-tips

Hollis · **Posted:** Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:24 pm

I did forget Thommo's pro-tip on lan :oops:

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Feb 04, 2010 5:40 pm

Did you remember Dawn's pro-tip?

Hollis · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:04 am

anyone have a working lan copy o l4d2?
also UT would be orsm.
always good to go back to the source of the engines of our games

Thommo · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:23 pm

We had a working lan version of l4d2 at the last lan but I don't recall anyone playing it because everyone was too busy playing COD ;-)

We had some epic UT04 matches in the early days.

Thommo · **Posted:** Sun Feb 07, 2010 3:23 pm

We played a last man standing match in UT once with 100 lives with about 12 people on the largest map we could find. It was full on deathmatch for about 2 hours non-stop.

dont remember foes, this was maybe 4-5 years ago

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:40 pm

I thought multiplayer was taken out of the PC version of Ghostbusters. I was really looking forward to playing Ghostbusters but never got past the tutorial because the Voices were really out of sync for me for some reason. Like 1s out - with a different person on screen to the one I was hearing. It was pretty unbearable for a game that the story was half the game. The gameplay seemed fun but I couldn't get over the faulty sound.

Steam often include fixes for the offline mode in updates but it always seems glitchy. But maybe thats about to change. I thought this latest steam update was kinda funny.

Just been thinking about the games I got in the past few days that could be really fun lan games if they work. Ready for when we get together next... either BSLAN026, minilan or over hamachi.

Blur - NFS style racing game with Mario Cart/Wipeout style powerups :-)

Could even [/color]be described as Flatout with powerups. Looks like it has the potential for 20player races over lan!

Lead and Gold - A TF2 style class based game set in Wild West. Uses Steam but hopefully we can get around that.

MW2 - Finally, looks like I've found a mod to make it work over lan but I'm not holding my breath.

I know another good game its called cod4!

In it you can get completely owned by my Rpd with Grip, Stopping power and Deep Impact.

Thommo · **Posted:** Sun May 30, 2010 10:24 pm

COD4??? Whats that? I'm not sure if I've heard of that one :roll:

D_MaN · **Posted:** Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:25 am

thommo did you get MW2 working?

Thommo · **Posted:** Tue Jun 01, 2010 7:43 pm

Haven't had a chance to test it properly with my 2nd PC not hooked up at the moment. And I think Hollis has the gigabit switch not that running through my router is much different. Maybe you'll just have to come over for a test run.

Hollis · **Posted:** Wed Jun 02, 2010 7:46 pm

I'll come over for a test run and can drop your stuff off as well thommo

Thommo · **Posted:** Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:09 pm

That seems like a good deal.

Hollis · **Posted:** Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:18 am

Although I can't come through with this deal till next weekend

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:24 pm

lol... I might book in a mini-lan at my place for the long weekend or the weekend after if people are interested and my wife will let me ;-)

I think I'm free on those weekends.

D_MaN · **Posted:** Thu Jun 03, 2010 9:11 pm

Thommo · **Posted:** Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:03 pm

And did she like the idea of you doing something on the 19th?

Thommo · **Posted:** Sat Jun 05, 2010 8:15 pm

She didn't object... I wouldn't have posted it here if it wasn't a positive discussion
