Hi Guys
Ive Never Played an online game before and i really whato get into it...my friends are telling me i dont know what im missing out on....
soooo.....how do i do it....what are some good games and how do i setup to play online with you guys..?

Sup KID? In my biased opinion I'd have to say QIII then mabey a mod or 2 such as Urban Terror 2, or instagibinstagib

Trojan is Spelled Trojan

unreal tournament is a good online game

hey speaking of trojan anyone remeber that game called " trojan"

Tribes and Tribes 2 are also among the greatest online games. Its basicly capture the flag with weapons. I know Quake 3 and Unreal Tournment ( both great games) have it also but Tribes/2 allows you to place base defense and require you to defend more that you flag, along with multiple types of armour and vehic's

Yo Thanx For Your Replys Guys

Now how do i start playin them...
do i got to a web sight and sighn in or do i download them or what... SomeBody Get Me Into The Gaming Scene PLAESE Just Tell Me How~!

Well, you're prolly gonna have to unload at least some of all that stuff you run in the background before gaming. Bogging your system down badly man, a little overkill there.

Quake1 was what fully hooked me into online game, then Quake2, Half Life, Unreal, Quake3, Unreal Tournament, Rune....man, once you play online against other people, for me there's simply no going back to single player against the same boring old computer opponents.

Good reading on Quake...http://www.planetquake.com

Unreal and UT.....http://www.planetunrealtournament.com

etc....

Hey Kid,

I may be biased and I don't want to get into some HL/Quake III/UT flame war with anybody, but I like HL based modifications the best so far that I've seen. I recently got Quake III and while the mods for it have stunning graphics, I don't like the gameplay as much. Too spastic. But then again, that could be me I'll keep trying them.

Anyway, you will probably have to buy one of these base games and download the mods you want to play. I don't find the standard deathmatch that comes with most of them very enjoyable.

With HalfLife, you can buy the Game of the Year Edition and download CounterStrike and Day of Defeat or other popular mods free. Game of the Year Edition is pretty cheap now, cause its been out a while. If you hate downloading large files, the Platinum edition has TeamFortress and CounterStrike already there I think. But you will probably have to download an update to the Half Life engine no matter what you buy.

It's pretty much the same deal with Quake III. You buy that (I got it pretty cheap last weekend) and you can download Urban Terror mod and Q3F (Team Fortress for Quake III) and install for free.

I don't have Unreal Tournament, but I think it is similar.

You should check out some websites dedicated to the game you are playing. A quick search on Google, will turn up plenty. Read the newbie guides. Some of the rules are tricky and most people online are gunning for n00bs and don't have time to help you learn. The first thing I did was change my keyboard mappings to make it easier.

So, I don't know if you're like me (CHEAP!) but if so, look for the basic game and download the other stuff free later. I don't see what the games that come with all the free mods loaded on the CD are really buying you. Unless you have a lousy Internet connection, in which case, these games may be lame anyway because of lag.

But Good luck with it and I hope to kill you (whoops) see you out there sometime.

Well,
Since you've never played any online game, I would suggest buying a copy of HalfLife for starters. Then just jump into straight up deathmatch to get your feet wet.
After you have a feel for things, THEN branch out to the various modifications such as team play, etc...

You should also download a game query tool like Gamespy, Kali, etc... so you can find all of the online game servers.

Personally, I like Kali (supports over 200 games), which has an interface very similar to windows explorer and pretty easy to figure out. Most charge a one time fee of $20 for the license to use their software, then it's on to happy fraggin'.

My favorite online games are COUNTER STRIKE and Diablo2. I heard Tribes2, Quake 2,3 and Everquest is also very good games.

-alex:2cool:

My current favorites are UT and the the UT Mod -SF- (strike force)
Strike Force kicks ass......

-Stu

Everyone has the right to be stupid, some people just abuse the privelege.

Rainbow Six^

I'd recommend getting UT and trying out the straight DM and CTF that it comes with. Then go and get the Infiltration mod at http://www.planetunreal.com/infiltration

Trust me

counter striker, quake3, rainbow six are some good multiplayer games. You can play them at http://www.zone.com

Counter-Strike baby all the

If you're into Fantasy-style games you should try out EverQuest. However its been known to be a bit addictive. So be careful if you decide to play it (btw I'm not trying to endorse this game at all because I work for the company who develops the game. I'm merely pointing out that this is an Online Game.)

http://www.everquest.com

The games I play myself are the following:

StarCraft http://www.blizzard.com
Tribes 2 http://www.tribes2.com
EverQuest
Unreal Tournament http://www.unrealtournament.com
Counter Strike
Rogue Spear
Quake III

I myself really enjoying playing FPS (first person shooters) so I tend to stick with Unreal Tournament style games. Hopefully after configuring my friggen' router I'll be able to play all the games without any problems.

There's a bunch of games out there. You just have to figure out what type of game you like to play. Think of it this way....

Do you like to Roleplay?
-Try EverQuest, Anarchy Online, Asheron's Call, & Ultima Online

Do you like to Kill Players?
-Try a FPS. Quake, Unreal Tournament, Tribes 2

Do you like Strategy Games?
-Try an RTS (Real Time Strategy) Starcraft, WarCraft (Blizzard is a great company)

There's a lot of games out there. Pick some up and try a few out to figure out what you like to play.

dont play everquest you will ruin to many years of your life playing that pos game =P

QIII UT2

UT2 looks sweet

It depends on what kind of games you like...

If you're into First-Person-Shooters
. Half-Life: Counter-Strike
. Unreal Tournament I go here when I'm tired of playing CS

these two rock the online scene, hehe. I'd suggest buying Half-Life then downloading the Counter-Strike mod. The retail version of Counter-Strike is not worth paying for...

Strategy Gaming:
. StarCraft - love this game!
. Age Of Empires 2: Age of Kings - haven't played that online yet, until i can defeat the comp at hardest skill. Great game none the less!!

Dunno what category this fits in but:
. Continuum (freeware)

highly addictive and great ppl. Very welcoming to n00bs. once u get the controls and game physics under control, you will never leave this game! (i'm highly biased here, and to think, i never liked this genre)

And for maximum online gaming experience, get yourself a decent internet connection... like cable or dsl... if possible a T1 to T3 or even an OC+!! lol damn, I'm fantasizing again

Well, that summarizes it. These games are worth paying for... have a go... i used to own their warez, but, my consience hit me. Well, not really, I was after legit serial numbers so I can play online, and they really are worth paying for, until the time these games die.

Starcraft is good if you play with u'r friend or something, but playing on the net, all it is is RUSH! It's no fun that way, u barely ever get to any higher level units and there's not much strategy anymore. It's whoever can build the most units the fastest.

It's the same nowadays with most real-time strategy games... they do the same as well with Age Of Empires... gets frustating... wish ppl just wouldn't rush rush rush... but then again, it's a strategy, and all strategies have weaknesses... learn how to counter it.

build good enuff defenses, fend off their rush... watch them lose unit after unit, and watch their economy go down as you build yours up, and haha, you've got them beat =)

I recommend Unreal Tournament for any first person shooter fan

Don't forget Strike-Force It's a MOD for UT, Kinda like Counter-Strike but i think Strike-Force IS alot better get it here http://www.strikeforcecenter.com/ or if you want to download it right now skip reading all that **** then go here http://www.strikeforcecenter.com/downloads/index.phtml?id=78235&language=en

It's a very big file but it's worth it! 266 Mb

Hmmm......Interesting

Thanx for the reply's Guys...
Im looking for more Driving Games or Blood Guts and all that kinda game,,,,i gota Thrust Master steering wheele ova here with the peaddals and allso the manual gear stick..and no damn Game to play with it...

anyone ever play Gore ?


i like to play as the guy with the can of beer in one hand and a gun in the other!

lol sounds like a very histerical game. where coudl i DL a demo?

Just downloaded Strike Force.

If you want squad based anti terrorist gameplay, then get Counterstrike.

It is alot funner than this and the UT engine is too stiff in this one.

Thanks Macho

Heh, dont mention it.

Anything to save you the trouble of downloading a 250MB file.

Well If ya like Mayhem, Destruction and generaly blowing things up using huge robots, then give Mechwarrior 4 a try

Tribes Tribes Tribes

If you want to play a real tactical ops game I highly recommend Swat 3 you can download the multiplayer upgrade, mods, and demo on there website http://sierrastudios.com/games/swat3/. This is the best tactical game out ther. It's better than strike force and strike force is a cool game. It's bett than the demo of RougeSpear because thats all Iv'e played. If your lookingfor a driving game try Need for Speed 3 it's pretty fun but I haven't figured how to play online yet.

NOLF No One Lives Forvever is a good multiplayer game. UT and SOF are good as well.

Tribes

Go to http://www.station.sony.com there are many online game. one Call Infantry... Try it, it is free
