    I used to play online games when my pc at the time was decent. CS and the like.
    Now though i cant afford new or upgrade so its xbox live for me. I played Wolfenstein and PGR2 the most. now though my friends....HALO 2 beckons (and i need a router to hook my xbox up to bb - just moved)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    i've tried a few times (UT and Q3)but my skill isn't really up to it (if i'm ultra honest :) ) and it is not much fun getting annihilated within seconds and then abused for the honour by some immature yank.... :o


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    Thats the touble. It can be quite difficult to get into it because of the skill levels involved. Best thing you can do is run out and buy a new game and hop online straight away. Slightly leveller (leveller?) playing field.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    City of Heroes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,560 ✭✭✭Boro


    Used to play UT and Quake 1/2 online a lot back in UL before they locked all the networks down. Moved onto CS and then Battlefield. Currently the only online games I play are NWN (a lot!) and the odd game of MoH.

    I've played a bit of CS and TFC in the past, recently I haven't played many apart from a year long obsession with wolfenstein and a month or so of lineage 2. Online games take up too much time for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭Dogg Thang


    I played Star Wars Galaxies for a while but almost died of boredom after the initial buzz of walking around in Star Wars wore off.

    I've heard it's a bit better now but haven't tried it again.

    Call of Duty
    Heat Of Battle (C.O.D mod)
    Call of Duty United Offensive

    HOB is my fav, i find UO laggy and people tend not to bother with teamwork.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,654 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    i play cs alot would be almost embarresed to tell you how much also play COH alot not as much but alot all the same.

    Started playing CS:S a few months ago, im addicted now, I only play the one map though! de_dust


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭TinCool


    Used to play Q2 every waking hour while I was in college. Dabbled in CS for a couple of years, still play it every now and then, but don't play much multiplayer games online any more. Guess I've just lost interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    play cs online not much else as you can't do much with 64k isdn


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 507 ✭✭✭Roller Toaster


    Mostly stuff like Capcom Vs SNK 2 and Street Fighter 3 over Xbox Live. Other than that I play a bit of Star Wars Battlefront. I just picked up Halo 2 too :)

    lol. I just tried Final Fantasy XI, looks good, wonderful 3D environment. But the fighting system makes me sick.
    there are a lot of good on-line games such like lineage2, dragonraja etc in USA, but no server in europe, also hundreds of new games in Asia. don't know why not set up server here. I believe most people would try them.

    I used to play CS, started about 4 years ago, but feel so boring now, need to find some new and good game to play.

    there is a new online game called 'world of warcraft', anyone want to try that?

    used to play wee bit of cs :: dod was the in thing back then. oh and TacOps and BF1942/DC.

    dont bother anymore with college and cba at home tbh.

    now i stick to some LANing over the brookfield network. Just finished an 'epic' game of ChaosUT CTF with my housemate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Stormfox1020


    Back when i Had broadband in the states i was hopelessly addicted to Mohaa. The hours i spent online everyday with that game :( (was fun tho). Dont play online games anymore though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 132 ✭✭Shane™


    Still play Halo, and some Dawn of War, not that good at that!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,069 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    i used to be an online fps nut with games like quake 2 then onto cs for a few years but ive gotten sick of those and moved onto Final Fantasy XI online which i really like. Ive played a bit of Halo2 online but found the server setup completely annoying were your booted out at the end of every map and have to go searchin again.

    UT2003/4 was in an instagib clan for 2 years...guess i was pretty good tbh

    prob lost it now..the clan wanted to go all "pro" and learn tactics like spawn killing (i know all the higher ranked clans do it anyway) but it wasnt my thing so the "pro" bunch formed a new clan and the anti pro bunch went clanless..and infact i havent touched UT2k4 since...2 months off ill be awful now :rolleyes:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,023 ✭✭✭[CrimsonGhost]


    UT 2004. I play online a fair bit, There is a fairly active core of irish gamers. Check the unreal forum for details of servers played on. If you've any hassle connecting just post and someone will be sure to help out. Also play on the FnG (Fun n Games) servers. Emphasis is on enjoying yourself. Fair and nice play is the order of the day.

    Nah, loads of people play MMORPGS, RPGs (NWN, etc), strategy games, anything really.
    Having said that, FPS's are the more popular games to play online. I'm a wee bit partial to them myself :)

    Aye, epic it was, great fun!!!

    I play a bit of hl2:dm and cs:s (which i suck at) and play loads of COD, usually on rifles only servers


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 603 ✭✭✭Prior Of Taize


    I play EVE a lot...

    HL2DM is good but the ping is just appaling (2 Meg Line)...i would say killbox is the best level by far...trajectory analysis @ lvl 5 for the 600 ping crossbow kills :D

    CS:S was good when it first came out but now all the 1.6 f*cktards have moved up and are pwnz0ring their way to another ruined game (except LAN)...

    Dawn Of War is also very good online...

    Other than that i tend to stay away from all the Gamespy Arcade type FPS games but i do enjoy an old bit of Q3 when nostalgia hits
