Games List?

[Skull]

is there a games list decided yet for BL10?

[Scottish-Husky]

maybe yes, maybe no XD

[PseudoPhreak]

not yet, as its so far away i think its best to wait a couple more months for a few of the big releases to come out.
The big ones i expect will be Left 4 Dead and Red Alert 3, personally i hope for some Multiwinia action.

[Skull]

any chance of some stepmania/mungyodance 3 action?

[PseudoPhreak]

yeah scott!! what?, those are great games!

[gemini]

I would like to withdraw my support for RA3 as a LAN game. The DRM on it means I shall not be buying it :( Which I am truely disgusted about. Makes me sick im going to miss out on it.

I Would however like to throw my full weight (there is plenty of it) behind

Left4Dead
Multiwinia
UT 3
Half Life Deathmatch
Team Fortress 2
CoD 4
TrackMania Nations Forever
Battlefield 2

And mabey some Defcon and CS:Source

Not a ban. But I'l bring the tar if someone else remembers to take the feathers.

[MadmaN]

RA3 FTW!!!1111! come on it's a must buy and play at lan game!

[Deep Blue]

If its anything like the Bioshock DRM, where you can only install it a couple of times, then thats pretty poor show!

Dawn of War 2 is meant to be out this year also.... :D

[PseudoPhreak]

If its anything like the Bioshock DRM, where you can only install it a couple of times, then thats pretty poor show!

Its essentially the same, but they have increased it to 5 installs, but you can phone them up and get an extra ones if they decide you are legit.

[Scottish-Husky]

The DRM on it is so restrictive I refuse to spend any money on something with such bad copy protection. I could use up five installs in a week quite legitimately and I then dont want to be begging EA to re-activate my game. If they think im spending money on that pish then they can shove the development team up their rectum.

no idea why you would re-install a game 5 times but ok.
Im not even sure if its just installs, is it not like activating the key with an online account, so if you use the same account after a re-install, you dont lose an activation?

A good game can ammount limitless installs.

From my Half Life CD I probably got at least 10 installs out of it. Thats before steam.

Starcraft I have long since lost count of how many times I have installed it. Seriously it seems every LAN I go to I install it.

I have installed RCT3 so many times the CD has started to crack.

Warcraft 3 I am on my third CD because they get chomped through.

There are loads of reasons why you could easily get more than 5 installs out of a game. If they have made a good game that will have appeal for many years (I know this is EA but bear with me) then anyone could chomp through 5 installs.

TBH though there are plenty places where this debate has raged on over the past few weeks. I would rather not start the debate here suffice to say that due to the DRM I will not be buying RA3.




It is limited to 5 installs. Not 5 accounts per key or anything like that, 5 installs.

5 accounts per key is quite reasonable copy protection. But malware being installed on my computer without my knowledge or permission is unacceptable on every level.

[PseudoPhreak]

oh well, one less person i have to beat, saves a little bit of time :P

[MadmaN]

i bet somone figures out a way to remove the dam thing without it complaining or something lol.

[PseudoPhreak]

it only applies to online games, so if you dont play it online you have nothing to complain about.


Hi guys --

I’ve been hearing your concerns about the DRM situation and wanted to get back to you with some information about our plans. In the case of Red Alert 3 (and all PC titles coming out of EA), we will use SecuROM – the same copy protection that the EALA RTS group has used on our last three titles. This time around, however, the copy protection will be configured to be more lenient than we've supported in the past.

I know this can be somewhat of a polarizing topic, and I thought it would be best to open the lines of communication with some facts:

- We will authenticate your game online when you install and launch it the first time.

- We will never re-authenticate an installation online after the first launch. In other words, no reaching out to a central server post-install to see if you’re “allowed” to play.

- You will be able to install and play on up to five computers.

- This system means you don't have to play with the disc in your computer. Personally, I think this is a huge improvement over our previous copy protection requirements, which have always required a disk to play.

- Life happens. I know it’s unlikely, but for those unlucky few who install the game and have their machines nuked (virus, OS reinstall, major hardware upgrade, etc.) five times, EA Customer Service will be on hand to supply any additional authorizations that are warranted. This will be done on a case-by-case basis by contacting customer support.

-You can, of course, play offline without impediment or penalty.

Red Alert 3 is shaping up to be a world-class RTS game that will give you many hours of enjoyment. I think it would be a shame if people decided to not play a great game simply because it came with DRM, but I understand that this is a very personal decision for many of you and I respect that. As you might imagine, I’m a lot less respectful of those people who take the position that they will illegally download a game simply because it has DRM.

Either way, we’ re very proud of the hard work our team has put into this game and we hope you will all enjoy it when it launches.

[Deep Blue]

What said that Kris?

[PseudoPhreak]

sorry, that was one on the official guys from c&c guys from EA.

They could release the game next week if they didn't bother making all the real nice high end graphics that ur just going to turn off anyway. Last time I looked your Quake3 config looked like it was made out of lego.

[MadmaN]

yes you have pc/xbox360 gamers playing online but no LAN!!! WTF!!!

That's a bit unfair!

[Bloodnok]

guys, i should stop reading posts made by yanks... there is a lan option for the pc version, it was hiding in the phone in the game... so my bad for misleading.

Let say.

You don't have some of these games.

Will they be accessible via a FTP?

Our FTP site will have patches for the most popular games, along with demos, drivers and other goodies. Most of the games we play, like UT2004 require one disc per player so I'm sure you can get a loan of discs!

[Bloodnok]

And theres the joys of people needed to make sure that their steam games can play offline (all of them).

Just found out that FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage (an updated version of Flatout 2) is only £5.99 on steam compared with Game.co.uk: £14.99 (£9 saving) note: uses games for windows live which is free

Failing that (if you pussies cant handle the drink) then a shot for every time you successfully get attacked by a special infected.

tbh, i dont think not being able to do 500 shots is a bad thing.
However i will call the ambulance if you want to try it, you'll just have to wait until the game finishes.

[Bloodnok]

Who would do such a thing... (looks at Prism)

[ZeroG]

Don't encourage Prism - it's not nice to tease the mentally ill :P

[Castiana]

It's Castiana now-a-days. Or Carp if I play wow with you :p

And i'm not that stupid. Hush Zero, before I bitch slap you :p

[Skull]

as i have said before, that is why it still says prism in your signature (its even the first name on it)

[PseudoPhreak]

its near impossible to change your name online, and castiana is too complicated.

[Bloodnok]

Guys, could we please use the 1.2 patch (http://browse.files.filefront.com/FlatOut+2+Official+Patches+v12/;1720194;/browsefiles.html) for Flatout 2 as it has fixes for multiplaying and has manual transmission as well (plus the fact ive got it on steam)

[PseudoPhreak]

yup, we should be using the latest patches for all games we will be playing.

[SwiftTempest]

what will be the deal for games that i dont have (ie everything :p), do i need to bring blank discs or anything

[panda_sam]

So, who's up for some Hello Kitty Roller Rescue? :P

[PseudoPhreak]

Hello Kitty, count me in.
We are working on a games list now so you can have what you need in advance, but if you dont have something its usually nor a problem, just make sure you have steam up to date.
Making sure to run all your games once as i find with mine it doesnt update unless you try and play the game.

[SwiftTempest]

as long there is a way to get the games for free and quickly, im not going to pay for games that i'll probaly play during the weekend of Breach

[Sakey]

No, the only way is to buy them. Sorry.

shop around there are some good bargins on games if your willing to shop around.

In terms of Source mods, grab the client files and the server files (win32) and we'll see about setting up a server for them at the event :)

Isn't there a problem with Source Mods at the moment, due to the updates to the Orange Box Engine? There is a solution mentioned on the Garry's Mod homepage which involves GCFScape taking the Source 2007 Binaries.gcf file from the SteamApps directory and extracting the contents of the bin directory into the servers' Orangebox/bin directory.

Or are they fixed?

I think that some of the source mods are moving to orange box, but if they are built on Source then they will work like that, if they have ported to the orange box then they will run with the orange box stuff installed, TF2 etc>

Just a guess? :)

And if so, any of the billions of addons?

which gmod?
i have 9 but not 10, and never played it multiplayer, but willing to give it a go :)

[Sweeper128]

GMod 10. I could get 9, but dunno if I could install it in time.

[Skull]

hmm, it depends if steam would recognise a mod while in offline mode i suspect
i can supply the gmod9 installer file tomorow if you would like, but it depends on steam.

UPDATE
i have just managed to install gmod9, and with tweaking to the gameinfo file (as i do not have hl2 itself) managed to get 9 working without taking steam online.

[MadmaN]

is that the gmod you buy from steam? because i think most people have the baught version now.

i just baught mine not to long ago.

[Skull]

9 is free, 10 & 11 are bought.
