so as not to hi-jack other people's threads, lets chat about online gameing in here... will get the online gameing posts already posted moved to here (just need to PM steve)

If you play online, what do you play, how often,?
Fave games?why?

For you SG fans out there, just played a custom Couter Strike Source map that was based on Stargate while t he ct's could get rp90's the t's couldn't get those tazer like weapons.

FarCry is the all time greatest game. I have had some issues though on my FX-60 rig, I get BSOD sometimes (FarCry software bug). Waiting for FarCry2. If I think how much I spent on my PC I could have an awsome AP setup right now. Awell! Yeah CS:S is a great game, well CS in general. Battlefield 2 is pretty good. UT2004 is a classic great game.

I don't play online much, but Joel and I LAN it up quite regularly. All of those TimC mentioned are the go. Joel's PC can't hack Battlefield2 though. Also Age of empires/C&C/LOTR Battle for middle earth and the like.

Farcry was excellant but it's LAN was average. Bring on FarCry2 (called Crysis?).
I have the free FEAR multiplayer downloaded but haven't tried it yet.

Oh yeah I forgot fear! Very awsome graphics. I think games like FEAR, FarCry and UT2004 (which appear on most benchmarking reviews) really stand out for graphics but still have very good single player gameplay. I am waiting for a game to push the limits of my system, untill then I am attempting to pass FarCry on Realistic mode... not easy.

does solitaire count?

thanks Jaymie

As far as online games go, runescape is the only online multiplayer game i have played (oh i think i played Age of empires online once too...)

Counter strike, All the battlefield games, and mobile forces are all good fun games to play at lans.....

OMSFG Runscape!!.... that takes me back... It is was the beginning of free mmorpg games and an awesome time waster. Havn't been on for years.....

I got voted no 2 strategist in Rise of Nations, used to warm up on the neighbours in LAN games 1 vs 3. Our clan went on to become world champs.

Played a lot of AOE as well. Trying not to play lately it's too time consuming at that level. Luckily RON petered out as everyone moved to Rise of Legends, so I just never got the new game.

Definately RTS for me, all the way.

Haha, classic... there are a few nerds among us While I don't spend more than a couple of hours every couple of days playing games, I do enjoy having a crack at CS:S, or just playing my XBox, or, at the moment, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Consoles are fun too, and I can even convince my GF to try those. Much easier than mastering keyb+mouse for some reason. My brothers have XBoxes so every now and then we have a nerdfest and get a few mates around to have some drinks and blow the crap out of each other. Halo 2 is the best fun as far as consoles go IMO, but then I haven't seen the XB360 yet...

They are massive time wasters though My mate gave me his Steam account to stop him from playing Half Life and CS 2 online, he had to go cold turkey he reckoned, and now I'm hooked too... I'm a bit of a though... I spend most of my time watching other people cause I have been killed already.

I was N0 1 in oz for CS:S ZH for a while, but as AA said it was to time consuming to stay there. I like RTS aswel though. and the first game my mates and I are making is an RTS. so just beofre it's released I'll let you guys know

whats RTS?

real time simulator is all i could come up with

I want all of you sick units to know that I'm taking your details and I'm going to report you to the Jacks (police........for our foreign friends).
