I currently play Team Fortress Classic a little bit of CS (but not much it bores me) I only really play first person shooters in fact that's all I play.

I used to play Planetside but Sony ruined it by introducing huge robots I loved the game and the community I miss it.

So im now back playing the classics I imagine a lot of people play the Everquest type games unfortunatly I cant get into the wizard and orc type games they arent for me.

So what do you guys play online do you play from home or have you used a net cafe and had a group?

Would like to go to a LAN event but ive never heard of one around here but maybe im not looking hard enough.

LOL... A very wise move. I have WoW and get nothing done in my spare time. The thing should come with a warning...

I was the same with Planetside it occupied my waking moment if I wasnt posting on the forums from work I was playing the game.

But on the plus side I made some good friends through the game and friends in other counties.

well its online just for a little fun really, its a big deathmatch with gravity gun and a few normal guns and its just most kills wins. Its just fun watching a toilet flying towards u at high speeds right before it clonks you on the head and kills you :clap:
yea i'd have to say it is the best game ever :D

If you report it using the correct method... sure.

I've recently started playing x-kings: http://www.x-kings.com It's good fun but you can only play once a day because it takes a while for moves to accumulate.

Call of Duty good multiplayer game with a big community.

Half Life 2 has a couple of good mods like HL2 deathmatch
and CS source but its whats in the pipeline that is going to be good Fortress Forever (www.fortress-forever.com) is one that springs to mind we will have to wai and see.

All HL2 Mods will be free to play.

I used to play a few clan matches on Doom 2 a few years back.

Nowadays though I'm too busy to spend a lot of time playing online games even though I have Xbox Live.

Anarchy Online is free for some reason until 2006, i think the URL is www.anarchy-online.com where you can download the game (850meg) and signup for a free account.

WTF?! 850 Mb?! Even on Broadband that would take at least a full day to download.

Nobody with dial up would even bother, and trust me there's still a LOT of online gamers out there stuck with 56k or less dial up cos they can't get broadband (damn you BT! :mad: )

I can download 700mb in under 2 hours. It wouldnt take that long with a decent connection.

Yeah i'm not that impressed with Anarchy Online either, i'm only playing it because it's free. A week today and World of Warcraft is out again so i'll be playing that for a while.

Bye bye social life.

Oh yes...

Get yourself on the Thunderhorn realm, and if you need any help, PM me although you'll need to be Alliance. Its a quieter one, in comparision to the others...

I've been playing Team Fortress Classic and NeoTF (if i can find a server) for a long time, though haven't played for a long time.

I did try playing CS once or twice but i would usually chuck the mouse across the room when someone rounded a corner so i was never very good :rolleyes: also i'm not that fast at aiming and moving and being on 56k didn't help either. :(

Also played Unreal Tournament and Natural Selection (Half life mod)


Also an avid MUD player and flash games too.

I've been paying Return to Castle Wolfenstein online for ages. It's a great game and totally free. You can download it from here (http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/) . It's a WWII game which has a great online community. :clap:
