i40 Must Have Games

[Vicious Horizon]

Thought it would be a good idea to start up a games thread, which games are a definate must for i40, that we'll probably all be playing, so far it's probably going to look something like:

BC2
TF2
Worms: World Party/Armageddon
Age of Empires 1-3
Napoleon: Total War
Unreal 1/Quake 3
L4D
Counter Strike: Source
GenGen

Any ideas?

[Chazlene]

Age of Empires 2 probably out of the 3 would be best. And Napoleon: Total War, not Rome, pretty please :P

And CSS of course goes without saying.

[D_K_Head]

Left 4 Dead or L4D2

[Calneon]

AoE2 is best yeah.

Quake 3 > Unreal

CSS obviously

[Vicious Horizon]

Cor, I've got a fair bit of buying to do xD

[VoX]

I've got/will have all of the ones that aren't RTS's, will sit and watch/play BC2 when people are doing those, am personally useless at them haha.

[Target]

BC2 will haz awesome sauce at i40 me thinks :D also killing floor the Mr.Big version that I have needs to be played with a big group of us will be lol

[D_K_Head]

i'm not sure I want to play AOE2 at i40... I somehow doubt it would end well, all things considered...

[Chalex4]

We should probably have links to the cheapest places to get them (legally or otherwise).

BC2 will definitely be epic :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

YESYESYES! Killing Floor is a definate yes!

(What's the maximum number of players at any one time of KF?)

[Calneon]

For stuff like AoE2, Quake 3, and Worms, just bring along a disk image (or whatever) and share it around at the lan. Really no point buying those.

@VH AFAIK Killing Floor is 6.

[Vicious Horizon]

Agreed, I can chuck together all the pre-DRM stuff I have if needed

[Chazlene]

I'll try and get a WWP ISO or whatever sorted, managed to do it once before for i31...

[Vicious Horizon]

I've got the CD of WWP if that would be easier.

(I've had trouble getting it to run on NT Operating systems before, though.)

Pro.

That's what VM's are for though :p.

[Target]

we can dominate peoples lan servers :P instead of just having 5 or 6 of us we now have over 12 :D Hope they have some sort of playable Medal of Honour, the new one but that may be a push :D

[Vicious Horizon]

Was just thinking, what about BF2?

[Calneon]

Was just thinking, what about BF2?
We have BC2. Wouldn't mind revisiting BF2 mind, could be good fun.

[Vicious Horizon]

Aye, I haven't played BC2, yet, but I don't think it has that same sense of scale as BF2

[Target]

BF2 is shit compared to bc2, u can actually shoot and kill people on bc2

[D_K_Head]

if I return to BF2, it'll be to play Project Reality, and nothing more. BC2 has ruined the vehicle gameplay in BF2 now...

All we need is karkand or sharqui in BC2, and it would be perfect...

[CILLIT BANG]

il never play bf2 with any of u again lol xD

[Calneon]

I doubt that will happen, though I do remember them saying something about it. The fact that they haven't patched the game in weeks when they obviously need to balance it (M60, Carl Gustav) shows something. If we get those maps it will probably be at a cost, though I would probably buy it if it was about £5 for two maps.

[Target]

Yeh teh Gustav is ridiculous and the m60 isn't much better, I think they might actually give those maps for free just to stick it to IW a little bit more :D

And why are teh smilies so fail???

COD4 (and 6 for those who have it)

otherwise looks good :)


Summary

generals zero hour / shockwave
Hiddden Source
SFC3
COD4

[Target]

Mite have mw2 by then if they reduce it a lot more :S

[VoX]

We all know that isn't going to happen Target haha.

[Vicious Horizon]

Hidden is going on there, Maybe CoD4, and that star trek fleet thing shouldn't be too hard to 'buy', you were playing it at i37 weren't you?

[Target]

think we should all get gta be pretty awesome on multiplayer :D http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/promos/spring-sale/

[Chazlene]

It would be beast if we all got on GTA together.

What about Garry's Mod guys? I remember the few times I've played it online it was really good fun.

[VoX]

Hmm, am tempted by GTA, was good fun on PS3 and at the price from D2D it's pretty good!


Gmod is awesome and would be pretty pro on a LAN, can be a bit havok though haha.

[Vicious Horizon]

If someone buys GTA IV for me (as I don't have net accounts or anything :<) I'll send them the money, GTA IV online would be epic.

[Vicious Horizon]

Super bump - suggestions now, or forever hold your peace.

[Calneon]

Worms Reloaded
Starcraft 2 (those of you who are buying it)
Age Of Empires 2
Quake 3
BC2
Killing Floor
