Multi player via Lan is an option thats being left out of many new game releases these days.
Ok you might say well you can just play online with your m8's !
True but if you happen to own two or more gaming pc's that connect to the same modem / rooter this option seems to becoming a real pain in the arse.
I have two gaming rigs in my living room connected to broadband & rooter. Me & my lad enjoy teaming up online on games such as call of duty: ****
This seems to becoming a almost impossible thing to do these days :shadedshu
Take MW for instance. When this game first came out i was able to install the game on both my pc's using same CDkey & was able to get both pc's running on the same match on a server Afew months down the line this stopped working ! ( PB kicked on one pc for duplicate cd key )
Ok fair enough so i brought another legit cdkey. Problem sorted ! Nope ( Pb kicked on one pc about IP address in use )
Onto Cod:waw this game was impossible to run online on two pc's through a rooter & single internet connection. Even with two legit copys of the game (IP in use error on one pc) i managed to get around this by connecting my pc's via internet connection sharing & doing away with the rooter. But wot a piss about that is.
Onto MW2 this game wont connect both pc's online at same time via Internet connection sharing so its back the rooter ( Works ok apart frm its sometimes a game get both pc's to connect to the same match )
Onto back opps ( No MP via Lan ! ) As on MW we can get both pc's to connect online ok but trying to both join the same match/server is a nightmere :shadedshu ( Unable to connect error ) & when we finally do get on the same match its very likely one of us will get kicked ( Duplicate port use error ) :shadedshu
Now i need to get round to testing black opps with both rigs connected via internet connection sharing to see if this helps us both join the same server. But to be honist i doubt it will even let me use ICS in the same way MW2 doesnt.
Would appreciate some feedback on this subject? There must be other TPU members who run multiple gaming rigs
