Abandoned/dead/niche games multiplayer group

[Graal]

I've started a Steam group with the intention to provide people a place to schedule matches for games that are either dead or see very little MP activity. I've found that there are often a lot of people who want to play certain MP games, but they don't because there's either never anybody on the servers or they can't find people to play it with.

I don't expect the group to really go big, but it would be nice if I could find people to play a few of my abandoned MP games with me. I've got way too many MP games I'd like to play, but can't because there's never any locals to play it with and/or international server pings make the games unplayable.

If it takes off, we can look at having gaming nights or weekend events dedicated to playing specific games and maybe even have some small competitions in the future. Currently it's set to invite-only, but all members can invite their friends. This is just to help keep it a group for South Africans only. Obviously Namibians are also welcome to join, but I'd prefer to keep people farther away out in order to make it easier for people to find other people to play with.

If anyone wants an invite, just message me on Steam or just ask here and me or one of the members will invite you asap.

The group can be found at the following url; http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PSZA

what sorta games are you looking at?

[MetalSoup]

what sorta games are you looking at?

Any multiplayer games with dead communities that you would still like to play, or games that you can't find other local players for.

we started THIS group a long time ago, but it never seemed to take off

I would like an invite please. Once I get it downloaded, I've heard that Crysis Warhead/Crysis Wars is very fun to play in MP, but the community is basically dead. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is also fun (best out of all 3 games that have MP, but it too is dead :/

Thanks for the invite, also Serious Sam 3, more people should play this

[Fafa]

What a great idea. If you ever play Action Half-life I really want to be a part of it.

Aww man. Didn't know there was a group like this already.

What I want to do with Press Play is encourage user interaction within the group itself, so I've set up a few forums in the group for people to post in and organise games. You guys should definitely check out the group forums and post threads for the games you want to play. The only way we're really going to get this group to work is if people take part in its forums to meet other players and schedule games.

The chatroom is also a good way to try and meet other people interested in playing certain games.

Here's my steam profile if someone could invited me please: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197995238297

My gaming time is fairly limited these days but I'd love playing some of the dead mp games.

Even though it's a fairly new game I propose: Tomb Raider

I wasn't able to find any games online when I tried the multiplayer - I have no idea how it is but it would be fun to try if we've got enough who have the game.

[Graal]

Yeah, it's not just for old games. Some of the new games have pretty bland multiplayer scenes as well.

I'd also love to play some TR MP.
