Who's up for dedicated online FPS gaming?
I had the game Nexuiz in mind since it's free, and runs on 'Win/Mac/Linux' It's really good for an open source Quake 3 clone. Anything better than it available, just say so. Someone ambitious enough to organize something like this should do it, set up a server. I can't reasonably host anything since I'm in Canada on a throttled upstream.
DM Tournaments? Scheduled CTF teams?
Thoughts? Yes? No?
Peanut butter?
I'm in. The more advance notice the better but I can pretty much play any evening and most weekends.
I'm out. My internet connection is too laggy for online play. I have satellite internet and it's ping is usually in the quadruple numbers (1000 - 3000ms).
^I think the problem there is not all of us have Steam. I certainly don't and probably won't ever.
And that Counter Strike costs the monies.
Nexuiz isn't a quake clone on physics. That's why one wouldn't settle for QuakeLive.
It's easier for new people to play and get used to, plus there's more options available as far as 'community based servers' go.
Also QLive has a halfassed ranking system which 'doesn't really do anything' to separate the good/bad players.
One thing leads to another. Counter-Strike runs through Steam yes?Quote:

I'm pretty detached from the community come to think of it... Oh well, I could always start writing reviews like that creepy guy in the corner nobody talks to or looks at. I'm not half bad at writing reviews so it could work out. :D
What we all need to do is make a modified version of Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers to work with online play and modify all of our Genesises (or Geneses which is the correct plural from of Genesis) to play online and we all get together and play it all at once. Of course, we'd need 1.21 jigawatts of power to pull it off.

EDIT: Aside from the awesome patent pending idea above, I wouldn't be able to attend such a thing. My computer is too much of a wimp to pull it off. Online multiplayer on Doom would be possible, if such a thing exists, because I have a feeling it does.
I played a litlle Nexuiz the other day, and I could go for some Sega-16 fragging sometime. I'm not too good at it, I onlly played for like 10 minutes, but I think I could get into it.
