WarSpartan Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited April 13, 2011 by WarSpartan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 FPS games ... Killing Floor is all about LAN play & the game is ALOT of fun to boot, get it b4 the LPE. It's a Steam Game. L4D & L4D2 are a blast, especially when on a Super Server, which we're expecting @ the LPE as well. I haven't played Crysis 2 yet, so I have no idea as to how the LAN play for that is. Lead & Gold - Gangs of the Wild west, another Steam game, is surprising alot of fun, plays alot like Team Fortress 2, so I would also recommend it. These are just some of the FPS games we normally play... hope this helps. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smot Poker Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Killing floor is a lot of fun to play, it's mostly a co-op game that 6 people can play simultaneously. Has LAN support. I also have the server software for this game installed on my PC, so I should be able to host it no problem, my PC can absolutely handle it. L4D2 is a lot of fun as well, has LAN support. Outside, that, not sure. Edited April 18, 2011 by Smot Poker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
