LAN's are great fro competition and for jamming with friends have having a great time, they are definitely a big win, much more social and good laughs at a LAN than just jamming through the net.
I really hope they don't disappear, i think the only thing that would make developers keep on supporting LANs is the competition side of things not so much the fun and social side.
last "lan" i went to here in town was more a copy fest than anything else. when people eventually played something it was this crappy title called sniper elite...
Play games, not platforms
That what irritate me most about most big LANs(read liberty) I go to play with my friends. If I just wanted to play i would play at home or online. Thus I go to evolution LAN(its this weekend) to go play with all my friends witch don't have internet.Originally Posted by Tank
Yes, without a doubt. It seems Lanning is already a thing of the past. PC gaming is heading this way soon too *cough*.
I think LANs is a thing of the past for me. The internet will be so cheap one of these days that it will be cheaper to just get an internet connection and when you want to jam with friend just invite them over at home. CS/DOTA/COD4 must die some time. I mean it can't just go on for like 10 -20 years.
I would like some more games to have some support. maybe they should make certain websites accessible at line just to log into a specific games online service to play on LAN. Still for me I'll rather download stuff with my 4mb uncapped account than to carry my pc arround.
I also feel like gaming in general is dieing. The titles keeps on getting worse by the moment and there are not enough online servers for different games. Most of the games I have played the past months I just install it play for like 5min and then quit and never play it again. I think people are running out of ideas. Same goes for movies.
NEVER, just this holiday me and a few buddies were lanning!
Get people to play UT3 custom content at LANs...
LAN's will stay. Private and Public LAN's.
It's always fun to go to a private LAN. It's just part of being a geek/gamer/nerd/avid computer user.
Lan will probaly stay think about the people who cant afford internet,that gives me a broken heart.
