I'm trying to get a feel here guys for the type of games you all are playing. I think we ought to get together and see what kinds of games we can play together.
-
Unreal Demo is always fun. So is Americas Army. Other than that I really don't to intense gaming, I'll play GTA or somthing like that every so often.
-
My fav. game at the moment is Star Wars Battlefront online and single player.
Also I have taken back into Age empires and mythology. Empires may be old but I still enjoy it. I'm also trying to get around to finishing Doom 3 at the moment aswell.
Other than that I give anything and everything ago. I agree that we should get some more games on the go and play more together.
-
Star Wars Battlefront, Rome Total War and Codename Panzers.
-
Are those games you downloaded Eligoh - because I've been trying to find each one of those for ages now. Right now the only games that we all have in common are the free ones .. lol.

I'll work on finding a good battlefront download tonight before I head off to bed. You guys make that seem really freakin' cool - I'm dieing to play it.
-
Yea it is really good. Lucasarts needed that one I think.
-
They really should have made a huge space map though, maybe the deathstar for instance...
-
Yea that would have been really sweet. Oh well, mabye an expansion?
-
Well, I havent played battlefront, but my friend has it for pc and Im planning to borrow it from him soon.
The only games I've been playing heavily are......Starocean: Till the End of Time and Fable. Starocean>Fable, but thats just me. Also, I've taken to playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and Goldeneye again. W00t for people who still play nintendo games......
And starcraft owns you all. Too bad I dont......
-
I've played a little Star Ocean and its pretty good from what I've seen. It is supposedly like the longest game ever.
-
I have old games right now that I enjoy playing until Halflife 2 and Fable come out. At the moment I play Counter-Strike (not CZ or Source) and other halflife mods like Natural Selection, Day of Defeat, The Ship, Vampire Slayer, and Science and Industry. Also, once the New Age of Wahtod module is finished (a player-created server module for Neverwinter Nights) I'll be playing that, too. Other games I play occasionally include Halo (And Halo: Custom Edition), Tribes: Vengeance Beta, Armies of Exigo Beta, and the old, crappy Aliens vs. Predators 2 demo.
I know, I know...
-
Unfortunately I'm not gonna be able to get anything from torrent to play with you guys because the university has that port blacklisted, maybe I can find somethin else.
-
Battlefront was at 67% when I left work - 2Gbish (ahh I love the Univeristy connection speed)...
other than that the last thing I was really playing was BFVietnam. But that was a while ago now...
Haven't played any graphical games lately...
haven't found anything worthwhile at the moment... *sighs*
I play earth 2025 online, at work mostly http://games.swirve.com/earth but thats turn based text game country management style. Enjoyable tho (in a clan).
-edit--
oh, other torrent websites for your bookmark:
suprnova.org (of course)
isohunt.com
Newsgroups are easy way to go as well... or IRC of course. Not that I endorse piracy at all. :D If you like a game after you've tested - BUY IT! The box and orig CD looks great on the shelf :p
-
I've been looking for battlefront on my newsgroups - but I cant seem to find it.
-

Box... shiny... CD... shiny...
What's a shelf? Is that like something you put on your wall so your stuff isn't on your floor? =D
Never heard of it.
-
I've been playing Golden Sun 1 and 2 for GBA, also Advance Wars 2. On PC, I just finished Star Wars KOTOR (best RPG ever). For first person shooters I still play Tactical Ops, the Unreal Tournament mod. Anyone ever check it out? I think it would be a good game for us to practice teamwork in combat. Plus, most of you probably have UT lying around somewhere.
-
*rantrantrant*we play americas army, not a game thats actually good. Tactical Ops sounds good, but AA has honor. So the 1337 people in the faction can raise that above others heads.
-

Rome : Total War
46 Seeds, get a copy while you can..
-
Americas Army occasionally. Morrowind. Steam games at times (Half life, Counter strike etc.). Far Cry.
Morrowind would be the favourite.
-
A bit of F-Zero on gamecube, EVE online, Dawn of War, (Subtek Golden Suns rule, I've finished both of them :D) farcry occasionally as well.
-
Man I freakin' hate bittorrent. I left the two running when I went to bed - and the moment I left they stopped going. lol.
-
Is battlefront decent enought to get? I hate to spend 50 bucks and have the game suck.
right now i'm playing fable, doom3, asheron's call, and espn football and hockey
-
Its good, can't say amazing though or ground breaking.However being able to take down at at's with the tow rope on snowspeeders was cool..
-
The secret with bittorrent is patience. Patience.
And some more patience..
Would you like some patience with that?
-
Damn the University firewall, damn it straight to the darkest depths of Hell
-
Damn it to the seventh layer of hell! Or "Florida" I suppose.
;)
-
Currently playing:
Fable
World of Warcraft
Diablo 2
Own, and am willing to play:
Battlefield Vietnam & 1942
Joint Ops: Typhoon Rising
Doom 3
Warcraft 3
-
Everquest. I'll probably try out WoW when it is released.
-
Erebus: Yea man, 2D RPG goodness. These are some of the best I've played. I love my GBA.
Illuvatar: Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there? ;) Let me know if you wanna rescue hosties in TacOps someday, I can show you the ropes.
-
Hmmm....one day.
And yeah, Golden Sun rox my sox. If they make A crono trigger remake on the GBA or Nintendo DS, I will pledge my undying loyalty to nintendo.
And yeah, Starocean 3 is long as hell. I've been playing 65 hours and just got to disc 2. Yes, thats disc 2 on a ps2 game. This game is longer than ron jeremy.
-
Has anyone tried City of Hero's? I've been doing a lot of reading and it looks kinda fun. Since MxO got pushed back I have been throwing around the idea of trying it out.
-
I played CoH for a few months. Very fun "casual" game. The character creation is awesome and its very fun to be a superhero. That said, the game lacks some depth because you pretty much just get superpowers and beat shit up....No quests, real loot, etc. That was both good and bad. It was relaxing, easy to solo in but also good for grouping.
If you want an intense gaming experience, I wouldn't choose CoH. If you want some casual fun, then its a great choice.
-
Hmm, mxo will be my first. But I do have Counter Strike for free, so I might try that out soon.
-
A bunch of us should get together and play CS - that or really any steam mod that we can download for free :P
-
http://www.elitetorrents.org/details.php?id=1086
Rome : Total War
46 Seeds, get a copy while you can..
I'll have Rome: Total War by the time I get home today :D However, battlefront is going to take another month. heh.
-
Natural Selection is a superb steam mod.
Ship is an excellent offbeat genre. It's like a mystery thriller sort of thing. Everyone hunts someone and is hunted by someone, and you can't always have weapons out, nor can you kill someone anywhere.
-
Oh my GOD!!
I was at 96 percent, on battlefront - and the damn torrent dissapeared!! AAaaghhnn.. *bleeds from the face.* I finished Rome though, and I'm leeching it until I've leeched it enough to get a :| face on elite torrents again :P
-
That has got to be a kick in teh nads at 96%.
I can't get my countersitrke working becuase of of Steem. It asks for a unique sierial key and I aint have one for it to work, anyone I try keeps failing so if any one has an ideas please step fourth and shout, ME
-
I had one stop on 99% after two weeks once. I nearly threw my computer out of the window...
-
Has anyone tried City of Hero's? I've been doing a lot of reading and it looks kinda fun. Since MxO got pushed back I have been throwing around the idea of trying it out.
CoH is really fun, i've played it since beta, and only canceled it a couple days ago because i'm in WoW closed beta, and between that and "other betas", there's no more time for CoH. If you start playing now, by the time MxO comes out, you'll have experienced enough that you can quit and not feel remorse :D
-
The only other game I really play on-line is Starcraft with my brothers.
I got a copy of Battlefront off Suprnova via BT, but for some reason every time I try to install it, my cpu freezes :)
I need to get another war type game though. Is Rome: Total War any good?
-
Is Rome: Total War any good?
Very good.Can't stand it when my people riot for no reason though.... or because its overpopulated.... when that happens they take over the town.I take it back and exterminate them all for opposing the great roman empire...
-
Oh man, there's riots by your own people and then you can march back in and mow them down? I am do downloading that game tonight!
-
hence why eligoh wouldn't be a very good leader...at least for very long. i play natural selection, DOD, CS, starwars battlefront is fun for a while, but the singleplayer gets boring real fast, and since its pirated, you can;'t play online unless we all connect to a direct server.
-
I finally got Battlefront installed, but now the damned thing won't load. It will go through all the credits and advertisements and then show the main load page for about half a second before crashing back to my desktop....
Grrrrr.....
-
I can't get Battlefront because it is telling me the port is blacklisted, anyone got any ideas on that?
-
Battlefront isnt worth downloading. When it becomes $20, I'll stop asking my friend to let me borrow it and buy it. Not worth wasting your time downloading or spending $50 bucks on. You guys have the thing to occupy yourselves with, and besides, Half ife 2's coming out within the next six months, so hah!
-
wolf, you need to change your port numbers to something else. Pick some random port number and then manke the 2nd number within 10 of the first number.
-
where do I take care of that?
-
Anyone know if there is a Rome:Total War multiplayer 'getaround'? Because the game is hella fun solo - we could rule teh world together! buhaaha.
-
Not sure, i'll keep an eye open for one.And Zink, how do yuo build more houses for an overpopulated city when houses aren't a buildable option?
-
Why not just get rid of your excess discretely? More cost effective =D
-
Okay, I still can't get that F-ing Battlefront game to load. I'm about to just delete it all and get Rome instead.
-
still have no idea where to reconfigure my ports.......
-
What program do you use to DL torrents? There just just be an option somewhere like "prefs" or "settings." Click it and then you will see "Port Range" where you can set the port numbers. It's pretty easy.
-
Not sure, I'll keep an eye open for one.And Zink, how do yuo build more houses for an overpopulated city when houses aren't a buildable option?
You mean for Rome: Total War? You need to build the governor's house/pro-council's palace thing .. whatever it is that your city is up to. It's usually the first one in the list.
-
Okie. I set myself to DMZ Host, and it still refuses to work (the torrent program, that is.) Might I get a link to the preferred torrent program?
-
I use the following program. It's worked wonderfully for me.
http://bittornado.com/download.html
-
Thanks...I'll try that one out.
-
I can't even get Rome: Total War to install on my computer. I downloaded the game and mounted the images, but my computer freezes midway throuhg installing the game. I'm about to just give up and stick to StarCraft :)
-
Rome total war is 53.2% after one night, so I expect it will be finished by tomorrow...theres a shitload of seeds around. Around 300.
-
Goob: Starcraft is fun as hell...unless you suck then it sucks cuz you get your ass beat all the time...Well...on the UMS maps you can have alotta fun whether you're leet or not....it's an al laround good game.
-
Eclipse: Yeah, I've had it on my computer for probably 6 or or 7 years now. It's the only game that's lasted all these years and I always seem to go back to it when I get pissed off at the newer, all-graphics, no-content games that keep coming out :)
-
I hate Starcraft...I can't work as quickly as the computer and always get my butt beat. Then HammerFall comes and kicks me ass too.
I dig Castle Risk tho! haha.
-
I mostly play The Specialists, it's a Matrix version of Half-Life. It's totally awesome, cause it's got bullet time, diving, dual-pistols, hyperjump, and lots lots more!
Check it out at: www.specialistsmod.net
