BEST LAN GAMES to play

[jjj807]

Well my friends and I play a lot of Lan games and its starting to bore us. Counterstrike, was fun. Then we added bots it was great, now its boring. We have played countless Command Conquer games. We have played thousands of Age of Empires II matches and have played Diablo II online until we played it out. We are looking for some more games. Does anyone know of any good Lan games to play with 2-8 people?

Thanks, heres a list of ones we have tried (and liked):

Age Of Empires Series
Command and Conquer Series
Half Life Mods -CS
Star Wars Jedi Knight II, III

We are looking for games where you dont need high end machines. We don't play many FPS's because well my computer is the only one that has ok stuff in it and the other computers kind of suck. Stocked Dells and laptops.

Thanks in advamce/

WarcraftIII: The Frozen Throne might be aight. Surely some of your LAN buddies liked Starcraft, or even like TFT.

You can play on teams up to 4 in games that are affect your record/level you up or all 8 together in custom games (even on one team).

UT2004 is also very fun. Onslaught mode + vehicles may be new/fun to you looking at the FPSs you played most.

What's that sven co-op mod, haven't heard of that.

Sven Co-op Link
It's a mod for HL that lets you and a friend play in Co-op mode.

Rise of Nations

Jedi Academy

Civ III PTW might be fun on a LAN, wonder how long a game would take though

 

[DannyLove]

i can't believe no one has mentional Raven Shield.
I haven't tried Splinter Cell but it looks good.

Another vote on Rise of Nations, great game.
