A few other games...

[Joose]

Just a thought, but all the games here at the moment are of the FPS variety. Not that theres anything wrong with FPS's, but a couple of strat games wouldnt go amiss. I, for one, would rather like to see Warcraft 3 up.

Course, im fairly sucky at that too, but I would still like the oportunity to show how much i suck :D

[Woo Elephant Yeah]

I never really play Strategy games, but if you could make a list of the most popular "new-ish" ones, then Ill find out whether people would be interested in them or not.

I knwo what you mean though, it's very FPS at the moment, and diversity never hurt anyone*

*perhaps the Jews

bizzarely, the most popular strat games for net play tend not to be that new. Probably something to do with older games being more balenced or something, not really sure. Off the top of my head, though:

Warcraft 3 is popular, often played at big competitions and suchlike.

I dont know if it still is, but Red Alert 2 seemed to get a lot of attention too. In my opinion it sucked big meaty balls, and is old as the hills.

other than that...er....Rise of Nations is a fairly good, newish strat game, but i dont know what its like multi-player.

Basically, the most obvious, and probably probably most popular choice would be Warcraft 3.


hmm. That was a hell of a long post just to say "Warcraft 3!"

[Woo Elephant Yeah]

Feel free to moderate the Orcs, Wizards, Elves etc as you wish.

[Joose]

thankee kindly

one other thought: how about some kind of "other games" thingy. That would cover the games like the Specialists (the HL mod), which some people will be interested in, but is unlikely to get enough interest to warrant its own forum.

Just a thought

Total annilhilation is an old fav of mine, i still suck big hairy balls at it tho, but it is good!

[Joose]

ahhh, TA

alas, i tried to get that to work when i was at uni. It worked, eventually, after a fashion. Hugely unstable though.

Course, that could have been due to our using The Worlds Most Cobbled Together Network(tm).

From what i can remember, i was getting trashed just as the game froze. So, technically, i am unbeaten! yay me!

[Mykeyboy]

Well personally id quite like C&C:Renegade on here:) i realise that not a huge amount of people play it, but its worth a shot:)

[Joose]

hang on, wasnt that the FPS based on C&C?

the one that was more cock than Dirk Diggler?

dear god, you mean people actually bought that?

[Grimmie]

CC Generals, Rise of Nations, Starcraft, Age of Myhtology?

[Woo Elephant Yeah]

CC Generals, Rise of Nations, Starcraft, Age of Myhtology?

If any other 5punkers play these games online then please raise your hand, as I think 5punk is due another game to be added

[Grimmie]

I agree. There are times when I really want to lay down my gun, and just command a battle, use a little strategy.

[Woo Elephant Yeah]

If there's enough interested people, I'll let you moderate the games forum if you like?

[Nickface]

I found C&C Generals very good, and I have TA lying around somewhere... it's probably sitting next to Quake 2... :D

Sounds deliciously authoritative!

[deject]

NO NO NO NO NO!!




AGE OF EMPIRES II

[Sledra]

[Joose]

Also, i agree that there should be some RTS goodness here.

Alas, i now only have 1 RTS game available. Anyone want to guess what that is? :D
