Forum Games

Well i thought it might be nice to be able to play some sort of PC game with other forum members! For $20 the most graphically-easy game i can think of would be Hearts of Iron II Doomsday. Also the most fitting game as WWII can be played out on it. Also possible to save the Multi-Player game so it doesnt have to be played all in one session (which would be near impossible).

Other games that come to mind are the Combat Mission series (Beyond Overlord, Barbarossa to Berlin, Afrika Korps) though those are more 1-on-1 games. Can play a round robin.

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

I would reccomend Soldiers, heroes of WW2 or Company of Heroes.

 

I would love to play, but I don't have DSL anymore, so I don't think I could play

 

HOI II Doomsday comes to mind, but i dont think a set-up server would work with that.

Call of Duty sounds like a good idea...rifles only mod too
Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 would probably work too.

I dont think i can think of any other decent WWII games that would benefit from having a server up.

 

I second this vehemently. This game is truly incredible in how many (accurate) units, vehicles, planes, and weapons it contains. It is also a very unique style of play. Either use it like an RTS or you can take direct control of any soldier on the battlefield and go FPS with a third person view. Not to mention the fully destructible environment which is always a huge bonus to be able to drive your Panther right through a building to get to someone. anzerattack: There are also many good mods adding onto the game.

Here is some more info on it:

Do these games come with some kind of hand held controller? I've never played a PC game.

 

That;s all HE will need, I will need a stinkin' computer since im STILL stuck using the public library ""computers." :-((

 

Ouch, know the feeling, up till I was about 12 all we had was a Library comp. You'll need a fairly high end one too to be able to play SHOWWII. Best of luck

The only 'bad' thing about soldiers heroes of ww2 is the AI is stupid. You shoot someone with a sniper rifle, and his buddy strolls up to the dead body giving you a double kill. But other than that is is a great game!

 

hmm what about like say WW2 flight sims, or something.

 

True but we were talking about doing multi player so that doesn't even come into it


P.S. does anyone here have the game and want to do a game? You would need cable and something like skype. I've never actually played online yet

 

I will! But do you have the latest version? cos if you don't I can't

 

So when do we start?

 

Good Question!
Does anybody here have company of heroes?

Oh and Generalfieldmarschall Matthew Bluhm, what version of SHOWW2 do tou have?

 

Oh yes, I have Stronghold 2 if anybody wants a game

 

I have the latest version, 1.28.3e I think it is, anyhoo I know it's the latest. Do you have the "Storm over Europe real warfare modification"? If not that's alright but I'd really like to play with it Oh and do you have skype or some kind of thing where you can use a Mic (even MSN)? That would be really help full also.


Matt



P.S. How can I contact you? Can you PM me your email AIM or MSN?

 

I have the same version, but none of the other stuff.

PS. I tried to get MSN but my computer crashed so i have never tried to get it since

 

Okay, I got your PM. Go ahead and grab skype, it's a free talking service for using a Mic on a computer and it takes up very little space etc

Skype - internet calls - download Skype free now - free calls - official website


PM me when you make an acount and I'll add you


Matt
