Me and a group of friends is getting together this weekend for a LAN, we'll be 8 people in total. And I need some suggestions for games, since I can't come up with anything good

Preferrably games that can be played on a LAN cracked, so we don't have to "force" someone to buy a game on Steam etc.

Only two games I've come up with is CS 1.6 and Minecraft.. Maybe also L4D2 with 4v4 infected/survivors?


Watercooled 5950X | AORUS Master X570 | Asus RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC | 64Gb RAM | 1Tb 970 Evo Plus + 2Tb 660p | etc etc

If you're into strategy games I always enjoyed lan parties with Age of Empires 3 alot... It's definitely available cracked somewhere. Actually looking forward to playing some AoE3 again alot Razz .

Other than that and L4D...kind of out of ideas for now. We used to play Battlefield and medal of honor as well, but that was a long time ago and may not be as fun with just 8 players.

diablo 2 (with a mod that keeps things fresh)
company of heroes (awesome in 4v4)
star wars battlefront 2 (THE lan game)
flatout 2 (i think it allows 8)
warcraft 3 (one of the many many custom maps, some tower defense or dota or a dotaclone)

Swat 4 is quite fun on lan, 4 players maximum on coop tho Neutral
Ghost recon (the first three)? Rainbow six raven shield?
Maybe some HL2 mods, like "The hidden" that one should be super fun in a lan Smile
Gears of war is also quite fun 4v4
Flatout 2 (as mentioned above, demolition derby is awesome!)

can't think about anything more at the moment, will post some more ideas if they come back to me Very Happy

Edit: we had a lot of fun with Live For speed in the last LAN party, might give it a try if you like racing games

Age of empires 2 & 3
Battle for middle earth
COD 3
Chaser
Crysis wars
CS/DOD source
Demigod
Empire earth 2
F1 2011
Giants
Jedi academy
Left 4 dead 1 & 2
Rise of legends
Stronghold 2
UT 2004
Wolfenstein
GTA4

That's a list from one of my lan game folders. I have 8-10 players often and I have another folder but can't access it just yet.
All crackable so anyone can play, I'm not a big cod fan but others enjoy it and it does work well on a lan so if you are interest you just jook up teknogods to know how to play it.

Left 4 dead survivors vs infected is also great 8 player action, plus your standard c&c titles.

Men of war is actually a great game. The 4 player co op missions for the Vietnam expansion are really good. Remind me of a co op Commandos.

Well just to update - despite all the nice suggestions, we ended up playing Left 4 Dead 2 90% of the LAN Laughing 4v4 versus was pretty damn fantastic, you should've heard the volume of our cheers and shouts etc, it was glorious! We also played some CS and Minecraft Smile
