What online games are you playing?

vic19 · 11-09-2008 3:03pm #1

Just wondering what kind of online games are out there, i have been playing some flash games but i'm getting bored. I tried looking at some other sites like webkinz.com and miniclip.com and i really like it, but want some more sites to play. Any sugguestions!

when you say "online" games, most people here will assume games like Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, Halo... etc

A great online game I play if I have a few minutes to burn is Tactics Arena:

http://www.tacticsarena.com/play/

You play against real people, if you play for free you will only be allowed to play 1 game and then you'll be kicked out. But you can just log straight back in again. It's just a nuisance to make you want to get a gold account (which gives you more playable characters)

A very good online game and very easy to get a hang of.

Currently rekindling my love/hate relationship with Battlefield 2. Also play Eve (3 sodding years come November).

For cool flash games check out Bubble Tanks 2 and Motherload. Those should waste a few hours for you

It's tough to come across decent flash games to be fair. You're better off (if you have a decent computer) to buy decent games and go online with them.

If you're also into more cerebral stuff then yahoo has a decent games section where you can play chess etc.

How's it looking?

I play Day of Defeat : Source. Great game, but haven't fired it up for a couple of weeks due to lack of time....

kaimera · 12-09-2008 12:43am

Mostly the Source games -> TF2/DoD: S

Audiosurf considered a online game? It's got leaderboards? :P

K.O.Kiki · 12-09-2008 11:14am

Tekken 5, because SCIV won't let me take it online.
Goddamn Ubisoft...

Probably not the best person to ask as I am a massive WAR fanboy

But it is good, has a fair few bugs but most I have seen in other MMO's that have been released and had a few years to try fix.

RvR is a blast, was never really into it due to 56k + games =

and Order tend to be outnumbered a fair few times, but if get 2 even groups in a open world battlefield objective the fun really starts.

world in conflict :cool:

Sabre0001 · 13-09-2008 11:32am

magick · 15-09-2008 6:30pm

Battlefield vietnam ,yes its old but i find the maps in it are the best or the battlefield series and it doesnt have that annoying f2000 in BF2

tman · 15-09-2008 7:26pm

I'm playing the "ignore the original post completely" game... Seems to be popular around these parts.

That and Unreal Tourny 3

Tar.Aldarion · 15-09-2008 8:17pm

I agree with tman, screw the OP,

css, warcraft III/dota.

Back playing Trackmania Nations Forever - it has its claws back in me again!!!

dav nagle · 24-09-2008 10:28am

all is quite online at the mo 360 wise, playing battlefield bad company.. maps are boring at this stage, releasing a game with 8 maps is madness.

Silenceisbliss · 24-09-2008 10:44am

there are new maps on the way

Online Flash Portal

Addictive but not as good as the 3D version but still fun.
AS for the person in school , go do some studying ya lazy sod and leave gaming to the people in work.

Missed out on:

Jump in a tank.

Swish boom, insta death from above.

Okay... hardly a setback. Respawn.

Swish boom. Death from above... Just because.....

Right..... Try again Respawn. BOOM BOOM BOOM Arty strike incoming. Dead again....

******Connection error. Punkbster failed to authenticate******* you have been kicked.

WTF? I played all day yesterday on this server.

Reconnect...

********Disconnected Punkbstr: Reason: Corrupt packet flow or failed handshake or just I'm a contrary piece of annoying software*********

What's a corrupt sodding packet flow??? Search google. Find punkbuster links and do some jiggery pokery and reconnect.

RIght. Spawn and CRINGE!!!! nope... no plane dropping bombs or artillery strikes and I'm still alive.

A helicopter! Someone has beaten me and is the pilot but still cool. I'm a gunner!!! All the enemy will DIE DIE DIE Oh why are we flying in circles??? Why are we upside down and heading for the ground????? Boom dead. **** pilot

Respawn.

Aagain wait for instant death..... Nope Still alive and I still haven't killed a thing and I've been online for ages now.

Look a baddie with a handgun standing right in front of me!!!!!! *Sounds of screaming and automatic gun fire as you get carried away firing* Not a single shot f'ing hit him??? Baddie does a ridiculous jump into the air straight into prone so looks like a special forces superman and one shot and bang. Your dead.....

*throw mouse against the wall and disconnect*

30 mins later reconnect cos amidst the crap is a good enough game that keeps you coming back for a while at least.

BF2 I hate it.... I love it...... I hate it.... I love it.....

(edit, can you tell I'm bored in work?)

Gummy Panda · 24-09-2008 5:28pm

hehe

i might buy BF2 then. played CS today. God i'm terrible at fps since playing xbox 360 for so long. spawn and buy weapons. Run to door. Headshot and dead. Didn't even see enemy.

Repeat Repeat Repeat and then i left the server.

silvine · 24-09-2008 5:38pm

Played Halo3 last night, forgot how good it is. Sick of COD4. I'm looking for a good RTS game to play online (C&C3 maybe), but I only have a Mac. Roll on Starcraft 2.

I've a copy of WOW in the attic. It can stay there.

What online games are you playing?
