Hmm, what about Supreme Commander? More specifically the first one, since the second one I'm not too fond of. Could still organize some games, just would require me to pause my download.

Woah. I'd be up for joining you there if CA's up. Is it?

EDIT: It is not. Eol! *shakes fist* Fleet's up, though. Neat. (For those curious, think of Fleet as akin to a 2d Allegiance.)

E2: Oh. Yer playin' skirm. Hrm...

It's been years since I played this. i don't remember what CA is.

Ooh, would depend on when you played, then. CA's Combined Arms, which is a zone that popped up during the Freeinf era, a while before SOE let inf go free. Lots of item/class combinations, impressive base building capabilities, a number of rockin' vehicles, and very fast paced combat for most classes. It's not uncommon to die within 10-15 seconds of getting off the dropship... and in that period, you may have slaughtered 10-15 people :P

CA's intense. Very different from Eol, probably somewhere between Skirm and CTF in general intent. My favorite zone, heh, followed by whatever that zombie one was that Freeinf folks ran occasionally. Also awesome, yesyes.

Re: Orb: I can't run SC on this computer, despite actually having the disc for it. Bloody thing drags my comp to its knees. G'luck getting folks to go with it, though. I hear it's a pretty awesome game, heh.

Hmm, I don't think I remember anything like that. I do remember, however, a large-ish map with hilltops and such you had to capture. it was awesome defending the hills behind sandbags and such. I also remember a map that was basically trench warfare...

Both skirmish variants, yeah. The first one's map, at least, is bloody old -- Harmless Games era, iirc, which was pre-2000. The second one I saw on Freeinf occasionally, but never with many people playing. That being said, the skirms in general got less love on Freeinf's server than the more complex stuff and developing zones, though there were occasionally some tweaks and such to th'skirmish formula.

Well, th'freeinfantry stuff was pretty awesome regardless of which zone style they were riffing, in general. Understand why SOE pushed them to th'dirt (there's proprietary server code in Infantry's client, which was used in like Everquest and crap), but damn if I don't curse them for doing it. Folks were actually pushing the limits of what the Infantry engine could do and adding new features (LUA coding, ferex) and now it's just kinda' stale and static. Sad times for one of the best 2D engines (and games, imo) in existence.

Bawmping the topic.

So we don't do anything on sundays I guess?

As for Infantry... I wish the mouse control was better. using the keyboard you get a better view in front of your soldier, but using the mouse he's in the center of the screen all the time so you have to sue the zoom function... but then your turning speed gets gimped to hell... *sigh*

Still doesn't help that I'm quite bad at the game =p

Hi guys. Unlocked the poll, post votes not in that list in the thread, like last time.
Let's do this, man.
I need to reorganize the OP some.

This weekend, I have no preference! Something catharticly violent would be wonderful, though.

A day or two warning if the game size is over 1-2 hundred megs would be really nice, though. I'd have to clear up some room on the HD :-\ 140 gigs of HD space on this laptop and only 1 of 'em is free. Really need to do a thorough cleaning one of these days.

I've recently played Unnreal Tournament. Man did I miss that game. We need a Bay-12 server.

It's a pretty decent size. Less than a gig, closer to half. +/- 600MB.

I got allegiance downloaded by going to a friend's house with my flash drive. If I can just figure out why it can't configure the "key", I'll be in for a game as a commander.

OTTD could be fun, I've never really played it multiplayer except for one time when I played it briefly with my brother, we didn't have much time to do anything, So we just messed around with each other's designs.
