Hi
Usually our Lan's are around 3-4 people, so most games will work fine (ie in terms of player limits) and there isn't much effort needed to get things going. However the last 6 person Lan we had was a bit of an effort to find games. Eventually we ended up playing 3vs3 Company of Heroes, Quake 2 deathmatch (couldn't get Q3 working), struggling with Supreme Commander for a bit and by then the lan had petered out to around 4-5 people.
At any rate we should be having an 8-10 or so person Lan in a bit, but was looking for some games to play. We don't really want to play deathmatch for 10 hours, as it's not that fun on it's own, and some of the guys play RTS/RPG games more (so there's a pretty big skill gap at times).
Usually for 2-4 person Lans, this is the general run of what we might play (all co-op):
Starcraft 2
R6 Vegas 1 (max 4)
R6 Vegas 2 (max 2)
Borderlands (max 4)
Ghost Recon Adv Warfighter 2
OFP Dragon Rising (max 4)
Magicka (max 4)
Alien Swarm (max 4)
(from Steam)
Serious Sam 2 (max 6)
Civ 4-5
We did try to play Diablo 2 with 6 people years ago, but everyone disappears off into the 4 points of the compass pretty quickly. Also tried Dungeon Siege 3 recently, but it was terrible. There was a 5 person lan about 10 years ago, but I don't remember what we played other than 3 us of in Xwing vs TF at about 1am.
We did have semi-regular games of Operation Flashpoint (original) about 5 years ago, but they were pretty hard to setup. The game was infernally finicky.
Any suggestions for co-op, team or RTS games?
Cheers
