Which Games should be organised at BL6?

[MadmaN]

Well i think . we should have a big game of:

CS Source - im sure we played a team game of this at last lan which was fun.
Posb Q3 lol - ffa of ctf
UT 2v2 Tourny? this could be fun instead of the q3 2v2.

Anymore i can think of i will add.

[Sakey]

Thats not bad at all :)

Just hope steam(ing pile of shit) works this time

[NiceGuy]

CSS for sure. I'm not a fan of quake or UT. How about an RTS? Starcraft? Dawn of War?

[imported_prism]

Well i could organise a DoW:DC tourny, and i'll be organising a RA2 toruny again

[MadmaN]

Thats the idea get some of the old fun classic games back into play :)

[faramir]

RA2 tourney u say ? lawl i might just enter that.

[Deep Blue]

I usually get my arsed kicked in RA2, quite quickly i might add!

atleast much more quickly than other games, it'd be a laugh though. Its great to see others getting their hands dirty :D

[ZeroG]

Isn't it rather a pain getting old games to work on new machines and across networks ?

Last time I tried to play some older games they either refused to work completely or run stupidly fast.

[imported_prism]

fara your banned from the RA2 tourny :p

[Dyce]

Command & Conquer 3 will be out by then.

[ZeroG]

Yeah but as always it depends on how many people have a working copy (and if it's cracked by then :wink: )

[Dyce]

its command and conquer. Everyone will have a working, legitiamte retail version. Or else!

[PseudoPhreak]

im def buying it

[Olap]

If it's anything like most games will be cracked before release so no one has an excuse :)

Also I think big games of things should be sorted, like et (which everybody can play), ut instagib ctf, becasue it was so much fun last time, and bf2 as this is too much fun with everyone in. Tbh tournaments aren't something I'd be interested in that much

[Deep Blue]

I think its safe to say that more big games will be organised for the next lan :)

[Sakey]

Some Ideas - For these to work we need EVERYONE to join in. I know you don't all like all of these games, but give them a try anyway.

Some games like CS (which can be shit online) are much better when played with a group of friends.

Heres the list (we won't do all of these, not enough time but it is some ideas)

CSS
BF1942
BF2
UT: TDM
UT: CTF
UT: Assualt
UT: D-Dom
UT: NeoTokyo
UT: AirBuccaneers
Q3: TDM
Q3: CTF
Enemy Territory
Tribes (1/2/Vengance)
Savage
COD (1/2)

Thats all I can think of just now.

[MadmaN]

It's just getting the ballance right so everyones happy lol

[PseudoPhreak]

the list is basically all FPS, need some rts, etc, cnc3, alien swarm, sup com?

[MadmaN]

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory would be a good laugh for a Team Game.

Ye include Generals and stuff.

[Bloodnok]

yea some RTS, was mifted by missing the SC matches. Also im going to be 22 for a week :P

[ZeroG]

The problem with RTS games is generally the multiplayer is small groups whereas the fps multiplayer usually can accomodate everyone at the same time.

[Sakey]

ZeroG hit the nail on the head.

Max players for any RTS I can think of is 8

That doesn't bode well for the idea of big organised games where everyone can join in.

There actucally aren't any other genres of games other than FPS that work in that situation.

Even Flatout 2 only has 8 players max....which sucks. 32 player destruction derby would be ace :D

[Moppith]

Warcraft III fun mod maps! :) (KODO TAG!!)
AvP 2
Mobile forces!! :P


Oh and i challenge 1 other person to lead a team against me in a massive 16v16 (more if more come to lan) Ut2k4 CTF instagib 1 hour match!
Who dare accept my challenge?
And moreso, who dares join my cruel dictatorship regime?

[ELMO]

HAH! have you not suffered humiliation enough that you would consider facing us for a second CTF instagib? who would consider joining your regime, your name is a byword for failure! hahaha!

Anywho, anyone know how many players Amagetron can handle? :lol:

[Deep Blue]

1 hour CTF instagib O_O

Surely thats a bit mad, could be thrown on the pile with instagib double dom :)

[PseudoPhreak]

that games was a stalemate till i came along!!!

[Han]

You're never ever going to be able to get everyone to participate in all games. The best that can be done is offer numerous "games" which people can sign up to compete in and have public servers running in the background if people want to play them.

As for RTS games with max players of 8, theres nothing wrong with running several games at the same time. Even if it's just a fun game with new prizes. The winner of each game plays against the other winners of each group game. It not only allows more people to play but makes the gameplay last a little bit longer.

[PseudoPhreak]

indeed, this is what we did/do with flatout 2

The problem with this is the time scale. RTS multiplayer can take hours depending on how it's played (Not much point in tank rushes). So running a tourny for RTS can take a lot more time and organisation that a standard fps.

You know I'll take that challenge after your humiliation last time!!

me vs mop who will you choose? (ps. you can have rock monkey again)

[gimpchimp]

Command and Conquer 3.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R has an MP, which I shall give a thorough testing to see if it's worthy of LANage.
Trackmania United!
Hellgate: London, if it's out and has LAN capabilities!

Of course, my being there hinges on whether I get the finance I am looking to get from Evesham for my gaming laptop. Sod hulking my rig into Aberdeen.

[ZeroG]

People who buy gaming laptops should be mocked in the street. Yes indeed they should !

[PseudoPhreak]

but then at the LAN they get to mock you for having to carry so much shit

[gimpchimp]

Aye, the only problem will be having to uninstall Vista Home Premium to install XP SP2.

Everything that you need in one handy package. Good enough laptop to play World of Warcraft, STALKER, Hellgate: London and CnC3, that's all I will need until like, the end of the year.

[PseudoPhreak]

now u need to convince gar to come too!!

[gimpchimp]

Sod the gaming laptop, they cost as much as a desktop. Just going to steal my old PC back from my Mum, heh!

[ZeroG]

For the price you pay for a decent gaming laptop you can get one kick ass desktop machine with bells and whistles.

[MadmaN]

if all goes to plan In 3 months time i should own a gaming laptop :)

have been wanting one for a looooong time now.

[ZeroG]

Poor deluded person. :-D

[Deep Blue]

but then at the LAN they get to mock you for having to carry so much shit


Ugh, just the thought of lugging all that kit has given me a headache :D

[ZeroG]

If you want portability get a shuttle :-D

[Bloodnok]

Or make up a BL Van fund??? Get these poor sods here!!!

[Sakey]

Gaming laptops are great.

When I am away with work if I wanna play something I just pull it out the bag, connect to power and it is ready to go. No monitor (TFT or otherwise) to lug, everything fits in one nice rucksack.

So I can get a few extra bells and whistles spec wise with a desktop. That pales in comparison to being able to take it ANYWHERE (To the extent I have used it in a cafe in Aberdeen town centre)

Lets see you do THAT with a shuttle :p

[ZeroG]

You won't get any significant game time off batteries.

[PseudoPhreak]

gaming laptops arent designed to be be like normal laptops
gaming laptops are basically just a portable desktop, easy to transport and then plug in when u get to where ur going

Everyone wants a gaming laptop, its just that they are way more expensive, if they were the same price as normal desktops, everyone would have one

[ZeroG]

...if they were the same price as normal desktops, everyone would have one

That would be great marketing strategy :) Make them the same price and watch them sell by the truck load.

[Bloodnok]

I would like to play Enemy Territory Quake Wars but according to play.com, its out the week after :/

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/CART/3-/1011934/Enemy_Territory_Quake_Wars_Limited_Edition_Collect ors_Pack/Product.html

Is it possible to move the date so the it can be played at the event???

[MadmaN]

or we might be lucky to get a leeked version before release lol

[gemini]

Oh hell yes.

ET:QW Is on the list.

[PseudoPhreak]

we have moved the lan back a week, so its gonna even be more likely we can have quake wars for the lan!!!!111one11one1
