I just got High Speed Internet and I'm wondering what a good online game is?

[Archon370]

Anyone know of a good online game out, or soon to come out

Hi,
I guess the reason no-one has replied to your question, is that there are hundreds of possible answers, depending on what you consider a good game.

If you like the first-person shooter, where you run around in a frenzy, picking up weapons, ammo and health and shooting at everything that moves, in order to stay alive longer than your opponent, then the two main games of the moment are:
Unreal Tournament
Quake 3 Arena

If you like a more tactical approach, try something like Half Life Counterstrike.

If you prefer role-playing games, where you view the landscape from a god-like perspective, and your adventures take you through lands of magic and mistery, then try something like
Diablo II
Everquest
Baldur's Gate

If you like running around on some alien planet at the controls of a huge robotic walking machine, completing strategic missions in clan-against-clan fights, try Mechwarrior 3.

Hope this helps a bit...

And if you like to play with explosives-throwing dwarves, as I do, I suggest Myth or Myth II
Starcraft is good too

well, since ur topic was on high speed internet gaming, i think the only games out there that u'll notice a difference in are the fps games such as q3a. most of the other games mentioned like starcraft where latency isn't as important, u wont see too much of a difference. also, with half-life's new crappy netcode, being a lpb is no longer as great as it used to be. hpbs now have several advantages due to the way the netcode now handles packets.
