Aah, I'm glad someone else mentioned CMRally - racing games appeared to have been missed off everyone elses play list but I know that Chas (CMR CC) wants to play it too... Should be good...

I too am not a huge Quake fan - and I'm certainly not much good but I felt it would be worth having it on the HDD as there is bound to be times when I'll end up playing it...

Cheers m'dears

VELVET

P.S. Tigs m8 - there are other games http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif Not everyone can survive a weekend purely on Quake...

I've heard people mention a few titles, but I was wondering which games I should get on my PC before the event??? I don't want to end up sitting in a corner playing solitaire on my own whilst everyone else is playing TA or something...

I've *just* downloaded the 100 or so mb of Quake II mods, so that should cover my shooting needs - but what else is everyone going to be playing???

Cheers

The other games include everything from TA and C&C to Starcraft, Wargasm, Air Attack and Half Life. It's not an understatement to say that all games are played at these events.

quake, quake team fortress, quake capture the flag, get rich quake, etc etc etc erm, are there any other games ??

velvet m8....i'll be there for Half-Life CMRally, Wargasm, TA...pretty much anything that ain't quake. I don't like quake that much, it's overhyped and gets too much coverage (I am entitled to my own opinion so don't even go there http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif)

anyway, I'll be there beating everyone at the above games. Get practicing....you'll need it http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif ahem...

P.S. I'll be finding out about hotels in the area so I'll put some info up when I get it

The major game to be played is of course Quakeworld !!!

Then say Quake 2.

But TA, Starcraft, Red Alert. (half life), them games will get played s**t loads over the weekend. As I said before, I'm yet to meet a player who is good at TA (well, better than me should I say).

Sniper

Also...... (i hope i can say this).....
Nah, best not...

If anybody has motorhead, don't forget it, it was played a hell of a lot at the last LAN party. I'm bringing Warcraft 2 and Age of Empires as you don't need the full version to play multiplayer you can share CD's.

If you haven't installed the windows games (hearts in particular) then get it installed there were a few people playing (ahem!) where a few quid was thrown in the pot and whoever had the lowest at the end of game took the pot.

One thing that concerns me is updates and patches. Many games require update patches to be played with other people and i know for sure if i manage to go i'm gonna load my 10gb disk with every game possible. But what happens if we get there and someone has v1.00 compared to the next persons v3.99? Will there be someone sitting on a computer connected to the net with a CD writer for us downloading the latest patches and mods?

Jugger
26-01-1999, 21:14
Stamper, just dl the patch right off the other chaps comp, if he makes a directory public of course.

By the way, can someone bring some crossover cables as we dont want to be hogging bandwidth with downloads do we ??

especially ppl swopping pr0n !!

Russdy
27-01-1999, 01:16
guys, all patches will be made publicly available for DL, plz try to get them ASAP once the event starts (I.E> b4 the network starts getting clogged, so your FTPing doesnt interrupt games).

also, there will be set times to FTP your stuff (I expect, this is the sensible way to do things) around. So Pr0n gathering at 4am, doesnt just happen in my bedroom then.....

TA = Total Annihilation, certainly one game I will be looking to play, as well as Colin Mcrae (of course), Populous, Half Life, Rumble and maybe even the odd game of Quake.

Championship Manager 3 is due for release in Feb and I heard its networkable, any chance of making Insomnia a bit longer, like by a few months???? http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

Now, now, lets not start slagging off each others game preferences, we've had enough of that on the AoE boards.

Especially coming from someone who lists "Knitting, Line-dancing and wrestling man-eating tigers" as their hobbies http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/wink.gif

Nuff said, methinks http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif
