Source game freshness keep idea.

As suggested by spoodie, how do people feel about say, a 3 week cycle of CS:S, TEEF and DOD:S?

That way nothing will get over-played, and enthusiasm might happen.

Discuss.

Yes, this is a good thing. Do it.

Good, but I'd add another wild card game of the month* or something so each game is almost a monthly event to look forward to.

*Ideally another Steam game, rather than something that'd need installing/patching/haxxing, etc.

I did consider that, but it risks being costly, and me actually having to do work.

Sounds like a Good Plan™

I'll throw HL2:DM on to the table. It's fun for occasional plays and most people will have it available to them. We could raid a public server to avoid work.

That'll do, I don't mind the work in advance, but having to set up many new servers is a pita.

I'm not sure DOD:S would be too popular but I like the idea.

Just started playing it, it's a bitch to get used to, but i think it'll be amusing when you do.

HLDM:S has a bit better selection of maps, I always found HL2DM a bit limited.

Also, snarks!

Fucking snarks!

That map where you spawn in the wall near the snarks and there's always some twat who camps in there dropping snarks on the spawn. I did it all the time.

I see your plan, but sense its fail on months with 5wednesdays....

Dystopia? Remember that eye-cancer-inducing one we looked at for 5 minutes?

The Ship? That was a giggle when we played it IIRC

Remember that map (I think its crossfire?) with the bunker complexe that had a "Nuke-em-all" button. that always managed to bring the rage for some reason...

This idea may insta-fail, but how about the last game of the month is a wildcard thing. Change each month out of the ones suggested so far, vote for it on the board each month?

That could work, you thinking just source, or a selection of everything?

Post by **Joose** » January 25th, 2009, 23:42

Dunno. I was thinking source, but I guess it could work for anything. Keeping it source might increase the likelyhood of games everyone has/can get for minimal monies.

Probably best to keep it valve based, more options, but all cheap/free for most of us.
