Title: online gaming anyone?
Post by: aldo_14 on October 01, 2004, 11:34:30 am
Anyone up for arranging a few games of, well, something sometime?

Offhand, there's CoD:UO*, UT2004, Trackmania, Jedi Academy, I-War2 or either Serious Sam games which I could play..... we could either hi-jack a server, or someone could host if they have a good enough connection.  Oddly, I'm not keen on FS2 (probably because i'm utter crap now), but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

I'd be willing to try running a non-dedicated server, but I only have 256 upstream, so we'd be limited to about 4 players max and there'd possibly be a bit of location-determined lag problem.  I do, at least seem to have a static IP.  Which is odd, as I never asked or paid for it.

Or can someone,er, 'persuade' GS to allow HLP a games running-server or access to one?

*played last night, was great fun.

I've just got CoD:UO, and I'd be up for a game.

Got XFire, Aldo?

A HL1 mod called :The Specialists is great fun. It's only 80 megs, plus an HL1 key, which in turn is only 10 euro.

Mind, you need a working instance of Steam, and that's anything from 2 hours to a few century's.

Stealth, you play Descent 3?  I'm known as Top Gun in the Descent community, and I'm a staff member at PlanetDescent :).

Right now I can play CoD:UO and UT2k4.

I suck at both though.
