"Gaming is Sweet!"

If your a gaming fanatic and often have many mates around to play games like Quake, Goldeneye or Unreal Tornament. You know what it feels like when you frag your oppenent or beat them in a race. There dissapointment on there face as it drops while you are cheering and rubbing it in!

This has got to be one of the best feelings in the world, when you score that goal in the final second of ISS pro and your oppenent puts his hands in his head and starts throwing his control around the room.

Many people might of not had this experiance but i suggest you try it.

A lot of people say that online gaming is the futre of gaming but nothing beats the fact that you can see the dissapointment on your players face when you beat them in THPS2!

I'm defently going to get timesplitters and a multitap when i get my ps2. after the results i have got about the multiplayer!

I think that Online Gaming is an expeiriance not to be missed but gaming with your mates should not be forgotten.

This topic might be a bit bad, i'm very sorry if it is as it is now 11:00 at night!

Admittadly, gaming with your mates is fun, but all my mates are way below my standard and beating them ranks right up there with walking and holding a spoon.

At least on online games your are garaunteed a fair match against decent rivals. Something a computer can never reproduce.

Look at my topic on prime!

Fine post it was too ;)

Hold me back, the forums are rocking tonight.

No I was being sarcastic, it is very quiet.

You of all people should know Sniper....Unreal Tournament..dual T3 server (288mbits)...very nice...

UT?? What do you mean?

I know this feeling well my friend.

With all the consoles I have had mutiplayer was a importaint aspect of them.

When I owned my playstation my brother and I managed to get 7 mates togeter and we played Micro machines V3 for about 4 hours. it really was a top laugh. The arguments, the cheaters, the fighing that went on, it really was brilliant stuff.

Now with my Dc I have many multiplayer titles like quake 3, powerstone 2 and chu chu rocket to name just 3. Its much better to spend a night with your mates and to play games all the time. Perfect Dark is another of my multiplayer favourites

I was dissapointed to see that the PS2 had only 2 control ports because as you say the like of timesplitter could have taken 4 (and above) player gaming to new places.
casual games probably won't spend £20 or so on a new multitap because they don't know what it is about and they don't reconise the fun that can be had.

To everyone that has not played a 4 player game before, you don't know what you're missing out on!

I've never tried setting up servers like that before, it could be fun though!!

Shouldn't have any problems with UT once luke gets the new server set up - hosted on a dual T3 connection =)). All has to be done remotely though, Linux vtfs terminal, and I can't upload the maps until wu-ftpd is fixed. Need a local sysadmin on the other end to sort it out.

I've got a Telewest Blueyonder and it's ace!!

Bah...I have a cable modem, but I've had very poor service from NTL recently. I'll ask for my modem to be changed, and after that for the line to be checked; it drops up to 3 or 4 times a day, and I need to reboot the pc to pick it up again.

When it does work, I get pings of anything between 20 and 300, depending on the server. Anything above 100 and I don't really bother playing.
