[LowEL2XR8]

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2.

That game is fantastic for Terrorist Hunt mode for coop play or with 6 you can go head to head.

Its pretty much a must for LANs

Yep, it's still my favourite FPS game.

Favourite mode: lonewolf against 50 terrorists!

Counterstrike. Enough said. Personally I'd steer away from the RTS games.

[uranium_death]

Wolfenstein? Which one?

RETURN to Castle Wolfenstein?

Because I'm sure as hell that Wolfenstein 3D wasn't!

Warcraft II is one of my faves.

Civilization IV

The original counterstrike has to be the best FPS Lan party game ever.. get a dozen people in a net cafe with that going and wooo yeah fun times

[Grechie]

also CoD4 - modern warfare

[gthofan]

Counterstrike, or grid... thats all

[Franco Cozzo]

C&C Generals Zero Hour
C&C3
Counterstrike 1.6
Team Fortress Classic
Diablo II
SWAT 4

I've had bunches of fun with "lesser known" or should I maybe say "lesser played" games at LANs.

The "No One Lives Forever" series (well, there's two) are absolutely great fun, and single player their stories are kinda cool and got me hooked.

Also, the original "Red Faction" is great, GeoMod is something I really wish a heap more games had. GeoMod basically allows you to destroy the surroundings and environment as well as your opponents. Missing someone with a rocket launcher then seeing a huge gaping hole in the wall where it hit is great!

Empire Earth is great but there's really no such thing as a quick game :P

I loved that "Greenhouse" thing they put in there, with all the weapons and stuff and a giant greenhouse in this underground cave to just destroy the whole cave & greenhouse.

In the multiplayer maps, usually look out for markings on walls or posters and stuff, usually a rocket to one of them reveals a "hidden" chamber or room with half decent weapons. Problem is once you expose it everyone else easily finds it!!!

How awesome was the rail gun or whatever it was, with the heat sensitive scope so you could see people through walls and it would actually shoot them through walls - still one of my favourite FPS weapons to this day.

Yeah, although it still had GeoMod the storyline and gameplay just didn't have the whole "fun" aspect that the original had.

There's a new Red Faction out now (I believe just on console at the moment, on its way to PC), will be interesting to see if that's any good.

[DBourne]

+1 swat 4

and make it CS source :P

[XR6Runner]

Man, you want some awesome action packed fun that will last a long time?

2 words (and a number):

Left 4 Dead


Even in single player, this game rocks!

[TURBOTAXI]

Cs Ftw!!!!!!!

[uranium_death]

Day of Defeat is another fun FPS game.

DoD Is my pick of the bunch.

Can't look past a bit of Warcraft but =P

[ch33z1l]

Cheers guys. Some great titles there.

[XAGSV8]

The original Far Cry is still my favourate for LAN's. There are alot of custom maps that you can download that are great.

[Franco Cozzo]

If any of you have C&C Generals ZH, I'd be up for a few games, I've got 2 other mates who can play with us too.

[Riksta]

I can't believe I actually left out one of the games I loved playing multi.

The old Interstate '76!!!



I didn't really play much of the sequel multiplayer, but Interstate 82 was also a bit of fun.

[TC200six]

As for the Unreal Tournament series, the only one I've played was UT 2004 and it is the only game I still play.
