Strategy Games @ Respawn, We need more Options

[Bitcrusher]

I reckon we need more strategy games at respawn something like CC generals zero hour (was a sick game in the good old days) Dawn of war soul storm and a few others..... Name a few that you like?

Whilst i would be all for broadcasting/playing these i believe that the main issue would be the overlapping of competitions and players who are in multiple comps would cause severe delays.

[Tibor]

I think how the time table works it kinda rules out most strat games. Plus if you have a decent amount of people in a comp it tends to take up the entire LAN, since games can last quite a while.

Also just cos theres not comps doesnt mean you cant play it. The group i was sitting with played zerohour/supreme commander/AOE3. Always spammed in chat got no interest from anyone else really.

You may have better success if you go up to the Admin desk and ask them nicely to make an announcement. Perhaps also announce the intention to play "x" game on this forum so people know they will need to have it installed at the next lan.

Cheers

Aw man I haven't played generals in AGES! If memory serves the netcode for it is terrible and when you get a lot of people (especially if someone is playing a chinese general with tonnes of units) it glitches like uber bad.

Is still fun though, especially when you get evenly matched opponents and it goes on for ours... one game we had to stop for a dinner break because we gamed for 12~hrs

Is that before or after it disconnects saying player data mismatch lol? Mate and i used to play 2v6 against bots on hard and rape them good

[Tibor]

Yeah it gets glitchy and its nots very well balanced. The only way we havent had issues we data mismatch is to install from the same source. Tried a whole range of different images/patches/updates.

time shouldnt be a big issue i mean ya just have 30 min game caps warcraft 3 never had an issue apart from clashes the fps seems to take up all the time now and war3 also lost a lot of interest last time they ran starcraft most of my games went for like 15 minutes. I think they need a put a strat game earlier on the sat and see how we go for numbers starcraft hasnt ran the last 2 lans even tho a number of ppl signed up for it. I mean the 9am time would be fine if it actually ran. Hell even just have it running all night inbetween games when ppl can fit there games in

[Catherine]

Starcraft 2!

[R4N]

Would LOVE to run a generals tourney if it wasnt for the horrible net code.
Maybe Kanes Wrath/CNC3? That is much less prone to issues.

We ran TA once which was quite fun.

Maybe i'll throw a poll up on this thread and see exactly what strategy games you guys would prefer.
In terms of running one, i dont see a "huge" issue. As with any competition you have to make a choice between games

[Prim]

totally up for TA, and zero hour (if it works)

starcraft 2 also nice (if it works)

civilization 5 definately (can't get it to work, any help much appreciated)

otherwise yeah, definately many many more strategy games. fps is only fun for a few hours (between all of them combined)

[RyuFromStreetFighter]

Frozen Synapse.

[von_noobie]

How about Sins?? (Sins of a solar empire)... Decent space strategy game, and got a not to bad Battlestar Galactica mod for it too .. Plenty of fun

[ThirtySix45]

if we can get say 4 people to play sins that would be great. count me in.

Also Supcom 1 would rock.

Homeworld 2?

[jangbanger]

AOE2!

[Prim]

i'll go sins looked fun tho never played it properly and would need help

[Prim]

can't believe i forgot this one, Heroes of Might and Magic (3 or 5?)

Or if someone can make it happen, dwarf fortress!

[Jen]

I've been playing alot of SC2 at work... (on the work laptop and the work network)

[That Commander]

It's been a long time since I played Total Annihilation. Will everyone just play with the standard 3.1 patch?
