So....yeah. I'm going to have some time next year, and I was just wondering if anyone could throw out some suggestions for multiplayers games both my roommate and I could play next year. Cooperation would be fun, I suppose, but we can also do things like Starcraft or whatever. I have a one year old Lenovo T61 which can run things just fine, but I'm worried top of the line games and stuff won't be able to run.

SC2 and D3 are obviously on the top of my list, assuming they run on my computer. What else besides that? Maybe some MMORPGs? My roommate suggested the new Star Wars game coming out (Star Wars: The Old Republic)...anyone have any thoughts on that?

Suggestions? Anything's appreciated :D

Ah thanks, wasn't quite sure where to put this :D

EDIT: While you're at it, could you put in an [H] tag? >_>...the question mark doesn't show up in the sidebar.

tbh i think console games are funner to play in person then pc games but i guess thats just me. My roomate introduced me to rainbow six vegas 2 last term and that was pretty fun to play co op. also if you're gonna have a ton of time you can pick up whatever the most recent edition of the champions of norrath series is, its basically a console version of d2 that you can play co op. any easy to pick up fps like halo3 is also fun as fuck to play online.

if u like mmos then from what ive heard kotor is pretty good. If you are not normally a mmo player a mmo probably isnt going to be very fun for you though

You should be able to run team fortress 2 with a high fps config, C&C red alert 3 has a fun single player co-op mode. Titans quest is a fun diablo style game you can play with a friend online.


I don't really know anything about MMO's

sins of a solar empire is AWESOME for roommate lanning... I used to do it myself :D

A less - intense version of this would be Star Wars: Empire at War. Both unique style RTS's

Spoiler alert, they're the same game.

I recommend Super Smash Brothers Melee. That game is countless hours of entertainment. Well worth it!

Edit: And also HoMaM 3... though someone already suggested that. One game takes about 3.5 hours...

Trackmania Nation Forever if you want to change completely from playing RTS.
A really fun game, i'm still playing it after 3 years online.
Like every game, be sure to have some maps cauz the nadeo's one are kinda boring, especially forever.
The more the merrier.

Also Smash mario which is kinda fun especially with 4 players
Worms, Quake3 (probably best since you're only 2 which you can have some duels or play with computers in ctf), and.... what else ? Starcraft obv :p

Get good and play in leagues on a squad. Easy to learn, hard to master.

Here are highlights from Hockey Zone (one of many zones) from one of their league games:

All the zones have public arenas to fool around in or solo, there are also special events, many zones, many leagues, a ton of different gameplay, and pretty high level competition (both for solo and team).

Everytime there's a topic like this, I post about Alien Swarm:

Alien Swarm:


Videos do not do it justice.

Being down to just 1-2 heals, having all your team members in the red, with 30 seconds left of oxygen left and just.. a.. few.. more.. steps.. Epic game

It's a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 (a standalone game using the Source engine, is in production)
http://www.blackcatgames.com/asv1/download

There are many extra campaigns (off my memory, there are 2 basic campaigns, then you can download Telic campaign, Escape from Rhea campaign.. and possibly one more, I forget the name tho), you should be able to find them in the forums.

The missions are fairly varied in the non-basic campaigns =)
