Does anyone have suggestions on the Best LAN Games to play. We hold a Lan day here once a month and play COD, MOH, SOF-2, Quake3, Far Cry, UT-3&4, V8 Supercars and MotoGP-2. Counterstrike was dodgy on the graphics from what I recall but everyone raves over it so maybe we'll give it a try. Halo just won't run well on some mates Pc's to make it viable. If anyone has played others and can recommend them that would be great. Personally I'de have to vote for COD for my favorite MP Game. Just wish they would make a Ghost Recon MP version...

Operation Flashpoint & Serious Sam. If you've never played Serious Sam Co-op, you don't know what you're missing.

How about Battlefield 1942/Desert Combat or Battlefield Vietnam.

As long as you don't try and play CS as if its Unreal Tournament you'll love it.. Its the stealth, use of sound and team work that make it so great. Neverwinter Nights is quite a good co-op RPG game if you are going to have the lan regularly.

Serious Sam is a BLAST co-op. Literally...

Serious Sam 2 is a great game, with great graphics, runs very well on older PCs and has tons and tons of enemies and cool weapons.

Thanks guys, I didn't know Serious Sam even had a multiplayer option(must have been to busy shooting to notice) . Battlefield Vietnam sounds good to. It's interesting getting other people views on these types of games. I've included (first time i've put a pic on a post so I hope it works - my photoshop picture joining is a bit woefull though) a pic of our LAN day which is today by the way..lol. Now I've got to find some of those games...

Yeh, Serious Sam 2 and Serious Sam 1, UT, and Starcraft are the only games I've ever played on a LAN.

Serious Sam and Serious Sam Second Encounter are awesome for coop gameplay. We played an 8 man coop at my buddy's house the other night. We also played through the entire game when it came out with a 4 player coop - can't say I've had more fun with any coop game ever. But it's only fun 1 time through so set the difficulty up pretty high.

I like the FPS like Unreal Tournmant and Quake 3, where you can just go haywire and let loose.

Whoa! Serious Sam 2 is seriously fast gameplay allright. Not quite as polished as the newer games but it sure makes up for it in sheer intensity. You don't have time to blink with 7 mates shooting everywhere. Just have to stop the motion sickness now..lol

I like Medal Of Honor Allied Assault alot. The graphics are really good and the servers were prettty quick. Only thing I do not like is the fact that you have to use that Gamespy Arcade. Pain in the *****.
