I manage a software group and wanted to organize a "Lan-party" as a way for people to bond and blow off steam. I'd get pizza, beer (don't tell HR), and people would play from their own desk computer using their desk phones in a conference for chat.
So I'm looking for a first person shooter than meets the following criteria:
- is networkable and will play with at least 12 people (I can dedicate a machine to be the server)
- is free, as I don't think finance will let me buy 15 copies of <insert shooter name>
- doesn't need installed permanently if possible (unzip and run straight from the exe preferred). again, makes it easier to deal with the It weanies complaining about unapproved software.
- doesn't need a fancy graphic card (computers are busniess Dells no more than 2 year old, so they have decent processor and OK graphic cards, but they are no gaming setups)
- is relatively easy to pick up and play for people that have little or no gaming experience.
I need to check what their specs are, but on top of my head I think Cube and Nexuiz woudl be games that qualify off the top of my head. Just looking for more suggestions.
the ability to do team death match would be a major bonus.
