Just toss some ideas out there :) I'm looking for some fun LAN games for just 3 or 4 people...maybe some flight sims...I dunno if Silent Hunter III is coop or even multiplayer enabled, but that looks interesting.

Just looking for some ideas

Counter-Strike Source, The Specialists (HL mod), Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne are pretty good.

For me this game had serious issues over LAN at least with coop. Whoever did not host the game would have lag issues that made the game about unplayable. Im not sure if we dl the latest patches and all that but my experience with it was bad.

Coop: Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Versus for 3 to 4 people: Warhammer 40k: DOW, Warcraft 3: TFT, Starcraft, Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2k4

This is reaching far back, but one of the first (and only, come to think of it) LAN games my little brother and I played was Starcraft.

Playing together as Terrans or Protoss against computer controlled Zerg opponents was tons of fun, and we didn't have to worry about our comps not being able to run the game. ;)

Good Co-Op games:
Serious Sam FE/SE
Quake
Half-Life (Sven Co-Op Mod)
System Shock 2

It's not Co-Op and the game is getting old, but the Worms series is great for small (4 or less) LANs.

My family likes to play Diablo II: Lord of Destruction on the LAN. Also, I've played Serious Sam: The Second Encounter on LAN with no issues mentioned above. Pretty fun for a while.
