LAN Party

[Hauskaz]

I think one needs to happen. I don't know where, when and what, but it would own. I could make the space but I have a lack of power outlets.

[Hauskaz]

Might as well make a list of shit I own or is free to download.

Sorted by minimum requirements

StarCraft futuristic RTS
us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/sc/
Distribution: Pirate copy
Performance: Oh come on anything can run this
I absorb massive cock at StarCraft and RTS games in general but it's a LAN staple.
Available modes: RTS, custom maps

Counter-Strike round-based tactical FPS
store.steampowered.com/app/10/
Distribution: $9.99 on Steam, free mod for Half-Life owners
Performance: If you can't run this then Jesus Christ
Still probably the number one online game in the world. Counter-Strike defined LAN and online gaming.
Available modes: Hostage rescue, bomb defusal, custom map game modes

Day of Defeat World War II FPS
store.steampowered.com/app/30/
Distribution: $4.99 on Steam, free mod for Half-Life owners
Performance: Probably runs on everything
I've never played this, but I imagine it plays like the Source version, which is to say mildly entertaining.
Available modes: Conquest

Armagetron Tron clone
www.armagetronad.net/
Distribution: Free Download
Performance: Probably runs on everything
A Tron game that would be probably be retarded to play as a LAN game, but it's pretty fun.
Available modes: Tron

Counter-Strike: Condition-Zero round-based tactical FPS
store.steampowered.com/app/80/
Distribution: $9.99 on Steam
Performance: Probably runs on everything
A graphics update to Counter-Strike that also changes the weapon performance slightly, adds more default maps and a riot shield. Arguably the hardest version of Counter-Strike to play due to the unforgiving ballistics.
Available modes: Hostage rescue, bomb defusal, custom map game modes

Call of Duty World War II FPS
store.steampowered.com/app/2620/
Distribution: $19.99 on Steam
Performance: Probably runs on everything
I've never actually played this, but according to Curtis, it plays exactly the same as any of the newer Call of Duty games. The graphics are just old.
Available modes: Deathmatch, team deathmatch, probably some other ones

Sauerbraten (Cube 2) twitch FPS
sauerbraten.org/
Distribution: Free Download
Performance: Probably runs on everything
A Quake/Unreal knockoff with hilarious sound effects and stupidly fast gameplay.
Available modes: I only ever played deathmatch but I think it has more

Counter-Strike: Source Round-based tactical FPS
www.counter-strike.net/
Distribution: $19.99 on Steam
Performance: Any remotely recent graphics card will probably run it
A port of Counter-Strike to the Source engine. Major graphics update.
Available modes: Hostage rescue, bomb defusal, custom map game modes

Day of Defeat: Source World War II FPS
www.dayofdefeat.com/
Distribution: $9.95 on Steam
Performance: Any remotely recent graphics card will probably run it
I used to play this with Forest an awful lot.
Available modes: Conquest

Age of Empires III imperial RTS
www.ageofempires3.com/
Distribution: Shared copy
Performance: Any remotely recent graphics card will probably run it
The only RTS I was remotely good at.
Available modes: Skirmish and some other mode but I'm pretty sure they're the same thing

Synergy Half-Life 2 co-op mod
synergymod.net/
Distribution: Free mod for Half-Life 2 owners
Performance: Any remotely recent graphics card will probably run it
You essentially play through Half-Life 2 and it's episodes co-operatively. I played through the whole goddamn thing with Matt. Fuck that took forever.
Available modes: co-op

Garry's Mod physics sandbox
www.garrysmod.com/
Distribution: $9.99 on Steam
Performance: Any remotely recent graphics card will probably run it

Battlefield 2 large-scale modern FPS
www.ea.com/games/battlefield-2-complete-collection
Distribution: Shared copy
Performance: Requires a moderately decent DX9 card
Best with enough people to play in squads with commanders, but it has a co-op mode against the hilariously retarded bots.
Available modes: Conquest, co-op (conquest vs. bots)

Team Fortress 2 team-oriented FPS
www.teamfortress.com/
Distribution: $19.99 on Steam
Performance: Requires a moderately decent DX9 card
I haven't played this in forever, but it's popular for good reason.
Available modes: I can't remember, there's a few of them

I've got a few here. Ranked by performance

Performance: Will definitely run on anything
Kick it Miller style back in BCSS
Available modes: CTF/Deathmatch/Last Man Standing

Unreal Tournament 2004 Twitch FPS
Distribution: Shared Copy
Performance: Runs on everything other than a netbook
This is going to require me to install the game, and several mods to make it more enjoyable for everyone to play. The standard UT weapons are a bit old and boring for this.
Available modes: CTF/VCTF/Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch/Onslaught/Bombing Run/Invasion

Borderlands Role Playing Shooter
Distribution: Shared Copy
Performance: Needs a decent DX9 card
This is a good game actually meant for co-op. We can play from the beginning of someone's file. We can duel too.

Unreal Tournament 3 Twitch FPS
Distribution: Shared Copy
Performance: Needs a decent DX9 card
This is awesome.
Available modes: CTF/VCTF/Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch/Warfare

Far Cry 2 FPS
Distribution: Shared copy
Performance: shitty
This game is fucking retarded single player but I imagine it's pretty awesome as a LAN game
