I'm having a small LAN at my place with some friends. (4 ppl total)

In the past we always played the same games mostly:
Co-op shooters (old COD games, sven coop)
Deathmatch fun (Rune, soldat)
Drinking games (Worms with shots)
Games that are fun when you are drunk (trackmania)

As you can probably see, these are all pretty old games...
I was wondering if there is anything more recent that is LAN-worthy.
So far I've only come up with Dungeonland and ROTT.

Your suggestions are welcome! Very Happy

If you want to shoot, go for Borderlands (1 and/or 2) and Dead Islands (1 and/or Riptide).
They work very well through LAN.

Have a look there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag4N-cMIzX_JdHoyVnZIdEo0ZTVsN2xrTDJ6M0taMEE#gid=1

Too bad BioWare are not making coop games. It would be a blast for drinking games, when you press a button "awesome", some drinking has to happen.

Had some epic years from I was 13-18. Lan parties pretty much every weekend Smile
And the best years where the first ones, because we didn't have internet! No way to get side tracked and if we wanted to have any fun we all had to play the same game. And we had a blast. After non stop gaming for hours we saw a movie, then back to more gaming. Then msn messenger came Crying or Very sad

Anyways; WC3, Quake 3, Total Annihilation, Rune, Raven shield, Trackmania, CS and GTA 2!

I boycot this game because of always online / no LAN.
I'd rather buy an EA game than this pos.

No, RS is 6 (I think, or it was 8 ), Vegas 2 is 4 I believe. Insurgency is 8. So basically 4 spots are open for sure.

My best LAN party memories are all related to alcohol and UT.

Nothing like playing a fast paced shooter drinking game. We used to play CTF, and those who scored, drank shots. After like 90 minutes, everyone is shit faced.

The very best was playing UT once, when we were high. For me, sounds registered faster than vision. So I knew I blew someone, by hearing the hit, way before seeing it. Best LAN party feeling evor.
