Title: Good multiplayer games?
Post by: aldo_14 on June 27, 2005, 08:23:08 am: I'm getting a bit bored of Call of Duty and I can't run Battlefield 2 because I 'only' have a GF5600.

Any suggestions? (not subscriptions-based/MMO)

Post by: Taristin on June 27, 2005, 08:54:54 am: Anarchy Online was fun for a little while... 's a few years old now, and the game, and online are free (so long as you stick to the base game, and not get any upgraded packs)

Post by: Grug on June 27, 2005, 09:40:10 am: I'd suggest Halo2 for Xbox... :p

I like to play Natural Selection everynow and then for Half Life. It's an old mod, but still pretty fun in the right servers. If you can put up with all the steam crap, its sometimes pretty fun... :)

Um... Foe (>32) is the only one I really remember, also the Ghurkas server and sometimes the Jolt one. Normally TDM or Domination on european servers with between 20-32 players.

Post by: Slasher on June 27, 2005, 10:29:56 am: Ahhh, my ping would probably be too high on those servers. :(

This might sound a bit redundant, but have you tried the United Offensive expansion for CoD? If you're bored with CoD's core gameplay then you're probably not going to find much to like, but I've been enjoying the new maps, weapons, and tanks for UO's multiplayer as of late.

Post by: aldo_14 on June 27, 2005, 11:32:36 am: I have UO; got it on release. But there's only so long you can play the one thing for before getting bored, and there's also bugger all servers playing domination these days.

Post by: Nico on June 27, 2005, 12:00:11 pm: Guild Wars? It's a mmorpg (sort of, it's more a hack and slash where you can choose human people as team mates tahn a rpg imho), but no subscription fee.

Post by: kasperl on June 27, 2005, 12:37:20 pm: EVE online is something you can run without a susbscription, buts a MMORPG. You need a lot of email adresses and you'll restart your char every 14 days, but ships and stuff can be saved in a corporation hangar. (The WS people have a corp going, some fun.)

Americas Army used to be fun, but the latest patch won't install, and I stopped bothering soon after that, so I can't judge.

FS2, well, if you can find any people on....

CS Source, if you don't mind the chat or the idiot voicecomm, there are some fun servers using nippermaps, but if you know nippermaps, that's no serious game.

If you want an RPG, check out Kingdom of Loathing, but I think you already did.

Post by: Ford Prefect on June 27, 2005, 02:28:21 pm: Get Counter-Strike, then download Day of Defeat. Best online WW2 game I've ever played. It's not exactly an MMO though. Up to 32 players, I think.

Post by: achtung on June 27, 2005, 04:20:44 pm: DOOM!!!!
Although the graphics are appauling by todays standards it runs anywhere and ping usually isn't an issue.

The best online client I know of is Zdaemon (http://www.zdaemon.org/)

Post by: The Spac on June 27, 2005, 04:31:33 pm: Guild Wars, at the moment thats what I'm doing, it's pretty much a free MMORPG, with great graphics and gameplay. :)

You're in the US, and AFAIK there's no-one in my timezone playing it, so I don't see much of a point at the moment doing so.

Post by: aldo_14 on June 29, 2005, 09:54:18 am: I decided to get Guild Wars..... partially because there wasn't anything else :). Albiet I'm waiting on it getting back in stock at play.com.

I may try Eve when I'm working fulltime, I think. Depends on personal circumstances.

Post by: The Spac on July 04, 2005, 11:45:41 pm: Just remember to always keep troll ugent on you probably the best healing skill that you will have with that combination.

Also i fyour using a bow you need points in marksmanship and expertise, if your using that healing skill you need points in wilderness lol and the pet needs points in beast mastery lol.

There go all your points lol.
