Call of Duty:World at War Zombies, been playing with my brothers at home since it came out and can never get tired of shooting nazi zombies, eventually getting overrun and killed by them afcors, lots of fun

That zombie level is the only thing i liked from COD:WAW. It's definitely a lot of fun to play with a few friends. Thinking about it, that's the only Call of Duty anything I liked. I guess I'm a bit partial to killing Nazi zombies though.

Zombie Levels FTW. None of us thought we'd like it since we felt co-op/mp was kind of lacking. But hell if we started it and didn't realize we were playing it for 4hrs+ straight, lol.

Freelancer is a great game but unforutunately, it doesn't have coop.

Actually freelancer can be played co-op over lan with many ppl in "Open" single player mode with many mods. You can't go through the single player story but in many ways openSP is more fun.

Everyone who loves freelancer get the new CROSSFIRE 1.8 mod! Its nearly freelancer 2, an incredible mod that I had been waiting years for. Huge mod btw (1.3gb) but adds more stuff than u can shake a stick at and is a HUGE graphics overhaul. Seriously never thought the game could look that good, amazing work with an old graphics engine...:rockout::pimp::respect:

Really? I never saw a co-op option in there? Am I missing something (like a mod) or just blind?


As for Crossfire, got a link? Also, how does that effect the main campaign? Does it add more after the campaign?


Edit: Oh, you don't play through the story, just do random missions. Maybe we'll take a swing at that but I imagine it would get pretty boring pretty fast to me.

Crossfire = fail. It's screwing with the audio on my system and FL Server refuses to start. I'll try without mods though...

Did u try disabling 3d audio? Causes lots of problems..

I have several friends on Crossfire 1.8 and no one has had any problems with the game. Did u install the mod manager and the mod on a fresh install of freelancer as the install guide states? The server was undergoing a large overhaul and is working properly now.

Unfortunately you cannot play the campaign co-op on lan. The game can get very interesting without story when you and your friends make a few good runs, buy some new ships and go out exploring the new systems looking for experimental weapons and such. There is just so much added content in the Crossfire 1.8 mod that it is worth getting it to work properly.

I know, we're playing that now but I can't imagine it lasting too much longer so I have to look for alternatives. Something reminded me of MechWarrior 4 (awesome game) and I know it has multiplayer but I'm not certain it has coop/team play capabilities. That's why I asked.


Mindless FPS games get dull rather quick.

Somehow, when "mindless" involves shooting hordes of zombies, this dullness quickly dissolves into an abundant puddle of utter joy :D

That sounds a lot like Command & Conquer: Renegade. Might be worth looking in to. I'm still wondering about MW4/Mercenaries though. Robots > Humans XD

Age of Empires II with Conquerers expansion, me and a few friends just have a blast here, games usually last 4+ hours, about as good as it gets. I know its a 2000 game, but there is a widescreen patch and it honestly looks quiet good.

Me and my friends do C&C3.

One of the latest RTS games with true LAN gaming (no internets needed) and the gameplay is great (a little unbalanced between species, scrin is a bit stronger than the others IMO).
