Hey guys
I know its been a while since Ive been lan'ing so no idea what folks are into currently.
But for those of you who are interested in the titled games and want to make platoons / lances to play online let me know. I'm currently rolling beta for both of these games and have high hopes for when they are finished and ready for prime time. So far Ive played a bit of Mechwarrior Online and its a great time so far. Even early in the beta with things out of whack even I'm enjoying it overall.
Planetside 2 is probably a ways off, but conceptually it sounds awesome, and the early beta stuff i've done isnt too bad.
If anyone is interested in playing online and voice chatting let me know.

I'm down for the food and pop, however... i'm not sure i will enjoy the snakes

As the title says, looking for a used single slot width video card with HDMI output on it. If you have one you'd like to sell, let me know the model etc and what you'd like for it.
TY

War Inc Battlezone - I thought it'd be something I wouldnt like, however I gave it a try and must admit its worthwhile. 3rd person view has some benefits, as well as negatives. Overall I do like the game though.

STEAM has a nice sale right now for Modern warfare stuff.
CoD4 Modern Warfare $14.99
Cod Modern Warfare 2 $19.99
CoD Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence pack $7.49
Cod Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Pack $7.49
I will probably buy all of these for her and myself.
If there is interest in these I'd be in. Have a birthday party till 6, so wouldn't make it till 7'ish. Save em for the evening time slot gents
Or at least dont burn out on them, lol. If any confirm they want to play ahead of time.As I recall MW2 doesnt have lan games though. Its all matchmaking. You can join off friends and play together against the internetz players, but fighting each other might not work.
CoD4 does however have lan games, and it easy to setup and play that way as well.
I did try the free weekend of Black Ops. It has dedicated servers, but no lan play. So almost the same boat as MW2.
Let me know.

I'm more excited about BF3 as it stands. CoD series starting getting a little obnoxious with MW2. I think its continuing on that road, lol. In reference to multiplayer at least.
-
How do you not have a Live account yet? GTA4, Flatout UC and Dirt2 just to mention a few all require it.
Better taste in games.

I've been looking around considering shooters for LANs. Some of the newer ones have been hindered by a lack of LAN support. They end up requiring lots bandwidth to play at a lan due to players having to connect and play through outside servers. More than a handful of players and things can get problematic.
So what are some shooters that people would like to see played or are interested in trying as a regular lan game ? For those of course who still have interest in shooters.
One I tried recently was Breach ... Actually makes for a decent LAN game. Has lan support etc. Online play has a few issues due to bugs.
So throw out some ideas, options, and level of interest. I'd enjoy seeing what people think.
Also if newer shooters just arent worthwhile as a lan feature, lets also expand the idea to include not just newer shooters but any shooters that you'd like to play at a LAN. List you top 3 picks.
Some that are LAN friendly are:
- CoD4 and CoD5
- Far Cry 1 and 2
- Crysis
- BF2 (original or the free to play would be even better, however I dont know if the ftp has lan type support yet)
- Is the FEAR free multiplayer have lan ?
- Team Fortress, I've played almost none of this but is it lan capable ? It's not my style of game but i'd try it.
Bad Company 2 would be great, but its a no LAN game as well. I did hear that there was a private server type setup that allowed you setup a server for LAN play. I havent found it yet. If anyone has this or knows where to grab it let me know. I'd play with that and setup a server for it there was interest.
Enjoy

Oh well it appears that BF3 is not part of this sale. Boo !
-
Wow that's a cool surprise. I do believe I'll be ordering a copy of BF3 this way. Nice TY.
-
Slick. Being able to see to the sides would be extremely nice in some games. Can see those knifers coming more easily, lol.
-
Sounds good, I can go for some of that. At least I wont have to twiddle my thumbs when the game comes up, ha ha. Is that the server you had been working on at earlier lans I attended ? I believe I got to play a little bit of it. The bugs worked out etc ?
I've been pretty bummed over the current state of big game titles not having any lan play features. A lot of the games I'd love to play just arent feasible for lan settings. I havent purchased a new release fps since Bad Company 2. Seems all shooters of note no longer support lan.
I have dusted off supreme commander 2 from an rts perspective and tried starcraft2, but i am slightly more inclined towards tac shooters still. I wonder if dusting off BF2 would be worthwhile ? I did read that is going to be a free release game soon.
-
Not a favorite but i was shying away from it at lans because with 8 players total people get left out, often me. Whats the "super" in reference too ? # of players or other elements ?
-
I believe I've got that sat off for once lately. Whats the games list ? Or what games are you all bringing and/or hoping to see played ? Whats your server setup for Lap ?
-
I can tentatively say I'm in. Whats the proposed games list ?
-
I too have heard these horror stories as well from a group of friends who pre-ordered. And they are big time CoD fans. So for them to knock it - it has to be rough. I'm just staying with Bad Company 2 as I wait for these games to get cleaned up. I'm done being a pre-beta retail tester (and sufferer), lol.
I also want to say "bugger" to the continued lack of LAN support in many of these games. Its honestly why I havent been to LAN's lately. The games I want to play are very poor to play in a LAN environment. Sadness.
-
Actually I believe you have to get to major patch # 3 before things play like they should have at release. But even then you will have ridiculous hit registry errors that plague the game for another 8+ months after release. To be fixed ever ? LoL Yes I'm looking at you BC2. Since the basic structure and gameplay will be the same as BC2, I see irons predictions as completely realistic.
That being said since that 3rd major patch hit, BC2 is my online game of choice. Before that point...very dicey.
-
Its starting to get a little sad but I'm now banned from at least 3 servers for doing too well. People are a little kick / ban happy if you own them a bit. I saw DaPoets in a server I was rocking it up in - then suddenly "banned". Why ? Too good. Get to 35-2 or so and folks dont like you no more. Didnt realize you were in there DaPoets till I got rage kicked, he he. I invited you to our skype friends list. Theres a handful of us locally who still get on and play a couple times a week. Hit us up
-
I'll throw my hat in and say I'm attending. Who's into what nowdays ? Online I've just been playing BC2.
-
Looking for something nice looking. Ideally a desktop type unit that I could stack another box on. But willing to consider whatever you guys got floating around.

Gateway P-6831FX
Essentially mint condition. I used it as a desktop almost entirely with the occassional LAN trip thrown in. No scratches or blemishes. No dead pixels. Screen colors still as new. Battery's solid.
Specs:
http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2008/GodzillaFX/1015088R/1015088Rsp2.shtml
Upgraded RAM - came with 3 gigs, but I stuck 4 gigs in right away.
Gamewise I've been able to play everything I put on it comfortably, including L4D2, Cod4, MW2, SC2, etc.
I simply dont use it anymore so its time it found a new home.
$575 OBO.
Any questions just ask.
Thanks,
WarZ / Wayne

I'm a possible. What is the expected games list ? The only thing I've really played much of lately was BC2.
-
My daughter broke hers. Its a 1st Gen. So if anyone has some a broken one or knows of one I can get for parts let me know.
-
I just invested in borderlands and the expansions. About to see what temptations today brings...
Or at least dont burn out on them, lol. If any confirm they want to play ahead of time.
