[Kornowski]

Hey,

Has anybody ever used this:

http://www.hamachi.cc/

Also, What games are good for LAN or Internet Play, Also, not too demanding as my friends PC's aren't great.

Thanks

Age of Empires 2?

 

[Kornowski]

Hmm, Could do.

We're thinking more of FPS games, and something that could add bots too...

Something like CS 1.6 or CS Condition Zero?

 

[Shane]

yeah CS:16 or you could pick up 007 Nightfire

thats a great game for multiplayer,and its system requirements are low.
I use to host my own games and it was very active.

That was last year though....havnt played it since.

look:

I have Nightfire for the PS2, It's pretty good.

Is that a video you made?

 

[Shane]

Nope mate i didnt make that vid.

i use to play 007 all the time

 

[Kornowski]

It was good but I found the controls to be too slow, may of just been the PS2 though.

I've tried Hamachi before, but very briefly. My friend and I were trying to do that and talk over Skype at the same time, had a bit of bandwith difficulties. Definitely worth a shot, though, the program itself seemed to be very stable...

 

[Kornowski]

Ah cool, Good idea, I never thought of that, Can you talk to more than one person at a time on Skype?

Yeah, I think I'll give a go

 

[DCIScouts]

Yeah, you can, but keep in mind that the more people you talk to, the more bandwith that it eats up...

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, I supose, Maybe about 3-4 people, Hamachi and a game, shouldn't be too bad

 

[Shane]

Just another idea....why not Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory?

its free.
