Best LAN/Co-op games?

RTS:

• Rise of Nations
• Rise of Legends
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War + expansions
• Sins of a Solar Empire
• Age of Mythology
• Company of Heroes

RPG (and RPG-lite):

• Neverwinter Nights 1
• Freedom Force
• Titan Quest + expansion
• Diablo Battlechest
• Hellgate: London

FPS:

• Any of the Unreal Tournament series (UT2004 probably has the best multiplayer mode in Onslaught)
• Quake 3: Arena
• Battlefield 2 or 2142
• Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
• Team Fortress 2
• Counter-Strike: Source

Worms Armageddon! It is a ton of fun and will run on any machine you mentioned.

But i am lookin for rpg games.. name something other titan quest/never winter nights / dungeon siege /diablo just because i have played them. But i love them so something like that for me that ic an get .

For co op thanks

Some of these suggestions don't make sense, lol.

CoD 4 has no co-op at all...

HellGate london doesn't allow lan play, only online

i think the topic was for lan co-op games, no?

If you're playing multiple long sessions, id say neverwinter nights. Even better if you can get more than one buddy to play with you

Issue 1: Don't dig up 6 month old threads

Issue 2: CoD 4 does have co-op...just not co-op campaign (any online team game can be interpreted as being "co-op"). Otherwise, you can scratch off pretty much every FPS game (only a handful have campaign co-op).

Issue 3: If you're going to discriminate against Hellgate: London for requiring an internet connection in order to play co-op, then NWN is guilty of the same offense (you still need to query the master servers for LAN games...no internet = no co-op multiplayer...at least, that's how it was when I tried to LAN it a whiles ago).

12 replies in and no one has mentioned Swat 4?

Tsk.

Agree with Swat 4, except we always end up tasering each other and not the enemy. Also the occasional point blank shotgun to the face of a restrained terrorist. But hey its our lan so we can do these things eh?

Our fav games that have survived test of time:

Ravenshield + Mods - had some seriously fun times, especially as co-op

Quake 3 - the demo is 50 megs and runs on any OS and has bots. Great way to get the lan started and work out nettwork etc without long setup time.

Starcraft- this is probably recognised as the best RTS ever and is cheap

CS: Source - not my fav by the way

Other good ones - UT2004(bots and mods galore)

COH - awesome game but the other guys aren't really into it

If you like flying IL2 and Lock-on are incredible if played seriously in co-op

Good Co-Op Games for that era of PC;

The Lord of the Rings Return of the King.

Battlefield 1942, Road to Rome & Secret Weapons of WWII.

Starwars Battlefront & Battlefront II

Joint Operations Typhoon Rising & Escalation.

Delta Force Land Warrior & Task Force Dagger.

Counter Strike, Company of Heroes and WoW! Surprised WoW was actually fun to play at LAN's.

Left 4 Dead should definately be good once it's out too!

I played it on a friends computer and I really want it ,and I hear its multiplayer is still very popular

Yeh i got some good ones? Killing floor pc ,system shock2 pc, Harry potter games any console,Trine pc 3 players, Call of duty 5pc,360,ps3And my favourite classic ones starcraft Diablo 2 Warcraft 3 Titan quest . Trine is good when u wanna play co-op with some friends It is 3 players so remember that

Well I have a copy of quake 3 arena. I have like three computers, so I want to do a LAN. How do I go about doing this with one copy of the game?voneric85

Just make sure they are all connected to a router. You may or may not have to turn off your firewalls. Make sure you can see each other in the network area (im not sure what OS you are using). Have the game installed on all the computers. Boot to game. Pull Cd out. Boot up other computer to game. Pull Cd Out. ect. Click LAN and create a game. Join the game with the other ones.

Hello guys,

I found this topic when I was browsing this site for some LAN-Games and it has been very useful, thanks.

Some of the older LAN-Games were very fun, but we both really like the AI in NextGen-games.

My roommate and I both have a High-End gaming PC, so the new question is:

What are the best co-op LAN-games, regardless of any system-requirements?

Games we are already playing in multiplayer:

• Borderlands
• Red Alert 3
• Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising (Co-op missions rock!!)
• Resident Evil 5
• Neverwinter Nights 2
• Empire: Total War
• Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth, The Rise of the Witch King

I'm aware of that the topic itself is from 2008, and that this reply was posted 20 december, but if the question is still is active, or anyone else wonder the same, definately check out Left 4 Dead 2! It's the best team based multiplayer game I have ever played. Playing with friends on a LAN or just online with voice communication is incredibly much fun.

I cant believe no one mentioned half life with sven coop

Stick with the classics like Halo, Starcraft, and Warcraft.

(edited a little to update the age of the thread)

Issue 1: Poor baby. This is a topic with merit to a rather large demographic. It's easier to re-poste than to create a new thread.

Issue 2: No. CoD 4 does not have co-op. It is not advertised as having co-op, there are no modes for co-op, therefore there is no co-op. I don't know if you understand what co-op is, but CoD 4 is not it. This is doubly true when you consider that the original topic asked for two-player co-op games. You can't play CoD 4 co-op with only two players, no matter how you look at it. Get over it.

Issue 3: It's not discrimination. Hellgate: London doesn't play LAN games. The original query was for LAN games. NWN is capable of doing just that. You are incorrect, by the way. I don't even own NWN, and a rudimentary search on Google told me that the Internet is not necessary for LAN games. Yes, the game will attempt to gain access to online servers, but once it discovers it can't, it should proceed to allow offline LAN play. Do your research next time before you mouth off; You only end up looking like a jack***.

Just to end the pointless fight over hellgate london, the online play got terminated like .. 2 years ago ? so bottom line HGL is unplayable period!

When you noobs dig up all threads, then at least post a link to http://www.co-optimus.com , it's much more useful than anything that is posted here...sigh

Unreal Tournament 2004 is loads of fun on LAN.

:edit: Thread is olddddddd

Unreal Tournament, Diablo 2, and Rise Of Nations are some good ones off the top of my head.
