Good LAN games that allow sharing CD?

What newer multiplayer games are out there that will allow you to install on several PCs and play it with only one copy of the game CD? Any?

Preferably FPS but I am open to any good titles. Bots are nice addition since we only have 3 pcs in our house. Better yet a game that allows multiple PCs to go online but I'm probably not going to find that.

Thanks

I have a 6 computer LAN set up so my kids and their buddies can play multiplayer games together.

Star Wars Battlefront - You have to have the disc in to start, but then can take it out and don't need it again if you don't exit the program entirely. You can change maps, etc... without the disc in. Has cooperative play mode and bots. Coop mode in the Hoth map is fun - one person flies the snow speeder and another mans the harpoon gun to bring down the Imperial Walkers.

UT2004 - You don't need a disc for multiplayer at all after installing the update. Has coop play and bots.

Battlefield Vietnam - You can use any of the 3 discs to start a multiplayer game so 3 can play at once with one copy of the game. Has coop play and bots.

Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy - both require a disc but backup copies can be used (only for your own personal multiplayer use). Has coop play and bots. I don't condone making copies of games to give to friends.
