Title: List of casual games
Post by: Tbone on March 27, 2008, 02:52:17 pm: What are some games you think we should begin playing as a group (when we're not playing MxO or working on "The Agency" stuff...lol).

Preferably the game should be for the PC, fairly cheap (at least not a monthly fee), and promote teamwork skills.

I remember hearing CS:S and CoD4. I'm looking into a game my brother is currently playing, Mabinogi. I'm only looking into it because it's free and a relatively small download...hehe.

Once we agree on a few games, I'll add them to a list.

Post by: Broin on March 27, 2008, 07:09:23 pm: Why don't you guys post the games that you might want to game casually... And in your post name the games that you have.

I pretty much am a lamo and just have CS, which I haven't played for a long while. Wouldn't mind getting together and sniping Lithium again...

Though I claim dibs on Da6o

Post by: Anamodiel on March 27, 2008, 07:27:27 pm: I would be up for some Counter-Strike:S.

I would have to reinstall it, though...
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Anonymous on March 27, 2008, 07:37:38 pm: I only have CS:S

I'm up for some grouping on there anytime. :)
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Tecknik on March 27, 2008, 09:19:41 pm: CoD4 (Own)
Crysis (Own)
Team Fortress 2 (Own)
Battlefield 2142 (Own)
Battlefield 2 (Own)
Counter-Strike: Source (Own)

In that order.

Everyone needs to get Call Of Duty 4. Quite possibly the most amazing first-person shooter available today. It feels short on maps, but a map pack is being released shortly.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Jeyk on March 28, 2008, 01:30:56 am: Crysis (Own)
Battlefield 2 (Own)
Counter-Strike: Source (Own)
Unreal Tournament III (Own)

I'll pick up CoD4 for PC (already have it for 360), and Team Fortress 2 (again, have it for 360) if enough people play it.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Pirus on March 28, 2008, 05:09:24 am: Crysis (not quite possibily IT IS the most amazing first-person shooter avialable)
COD4
Getting Unreal Tournament III
CS-S
Halo 2 (can actually play with anyone who has it on xbox also.. the game comes with xbox live on the pc)
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Jeyk on March 28, 2008, 11:19:41 am: I don't believe they did the crossover servers w/ Xbox on Halo 2...it seems Shadowrun is the only game that claims that feature.

My problem with Halo 2 is that in order to be able to install/play, you must have Windows Vista.

I'm not buying and installing Vista just for Halo 2.

Sorry, Pirus. :p

I remember reading on the box somthing along the lines of, "Play with Xbox players on XBox Live!".

The technology exist and was started with Halo2 but by the time they released Halo2 they had dropped the feature.

Post by: Pirus on March 28, 2008, 11:58:30 am: hmm all I know is when I get in the game I sign into LIVE and then go online and play I'm assuming its both pc and xbox users as it was advertised.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Phienyx on March 28, 2008, 12:00:44 pm: TeamFortress 2

Starcraft (still one of the best games of its type of all time)

So it requires Vista AND does not feature the advertised crossplay?

Lame.

Post by: Manic Velocity on March 29, 2008, 05:32:18 pm: I'm installing Unreal Tournament III right now. Wouldn't mind getting some DM or CTF going once I get the hang of it. Aside from that, I also have UT2k4.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Phienyx on March 29, 2008, 06:34:07 pm: I plan on getting UT3 asap myself.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Fuse on March 29, 2008, 06:45:56 pm: Didn't like UT3 beta. Love UT2k4

I'm playing wow and Company of Heroes.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Manic Velocity on March 31, 2008, 12:25:00 am: Looks like I need to upgrade my graphics card to run UT3 effectively. Until that happens, I'll be sticking to UT2k4 when not in MxO.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Anamodiel on March 31, 2008, 05:05:07 am: Yeah, UT2k4 is much better than UT3.

I'll play that.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Lithium on March 31, 2008, 06:49:37 am: You can pick up UT2k4 on steam for $15, I enjoyed the multiplayer demo back in the day so I'll probably buy it.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Phienyx on March 31, 2008, 10:32:43 am: I have UT2k4. I liked it.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Jeyk on April 01, 2008, 12:29:16 am: Is there a Friend feature for UT3 (Jeyk is my in-game name), or do we have to exchange server IP's when we play?
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Anamodiel on April 01, 2008, 05:08:59 am: I believe that there is a friend feature, but it's very poorly put together.

Worse comes to worse, we could all just get X-fire and log on that whenever we're playing.

You know we DO have teamspeak?

Agreed! I like diffusing bombs. :D

I've actually been having tons of fun with this game in the few short hours that I've owned it. It's so perfectly simple.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: ArchNemesis on April 06, 2008, 01:37:57 am: Hmmm I wouldn't mind CS:S or hell, i used to play an old Half-Life Mod called the specialists.

I used to play it with a few older members, don't recall if anyone i used to play with is still here but check it out, http://www.specialistsmod.net/

I'm sure some of you might be interested, although keep in mind it's for Half life, not the Source Engine so it's a little dated.

Edit:

Forgot, here's my Steam ID

For Half-life 1 - Kingkai92@yahoo.com

For Half-life 2 - ArchNemesis26

I use my bro's account for my Half-life one needs since i'm too cheap to spend $10 to have it on mine :P

Post by: Tecknik on April 06, 2008, 05:36:51 pm: So when are we going to do this?
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Broin on April 07, 2008, 07:18:50 pm: Thur. or Fri. We can do a bit of 01 farming for Kafyn and then do some CSS

Post by: Bellthazor on April 08, 2008, 05:04:28 pm: ok..I have finished setting up the CSS server, and I am in the process of getting a COD 4 server going. Let me know if any of you have it for PC.
Title: List of casual games
Post by: Phienyx on April 08, 2008, 05:53:40 pm: Ok.....I may break down and buy CS:S. Mind you all I haven't played CS since the days it was simply a mod in development.

Title: List of casual games
Post by: Anamodiel on July 28, 2008, 04:50:36 pm: I have COD4, too, and you can always find me in TS if I'm playing it.

Seriously, jump in TS whenever you're playing it. We have a channel set up for it already.

I'll try to remember to jump into TS when I play.
