Haha yeah I actually did a few of these before, and they were awesome.
I remember really enjoying UT2k4, Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars, and a ridiculous number of Warcraft III mods (and DOTA lol).
A lot of my friends really liked CounterStrike 1.6 though and…I honestly wasn’t much of a fan hah. (It was the hitboxes and spread. AK bursts center mass? No dice. Get hit in the foot by a submachinegun? Ded. I know, skill issue prolly lol.)
I remember once we played a few games and then everyone just logged into their individual WoW accounts around the end of the night. Lame lol.
Logistically, I definitely don’t miss having to get the game(s) installed on everybody’s machines, and make sure everybody’s got the same patch version, and that kinda thing. Steam’s actually made that a ton easier! (Especially with things like 4 packs and sales.)
More recently we tried a LAN party, and Warsow saved the day since it was free on GOG. That was a TON of fun! Sad that’s a “dead game.”
In highschool the whole computer lab would be playing Battlefield Modern Combat, or Battlefield 2142, and that was REALLY fun with a full house.
(Getting to hear people shout “Alright WHO IS <username>?!?!?!” was great fun.)
