Our little group have now been hitting a bit of a wall recently where we have more than 4 players that want to play a game but can only find co-operative games that support groups of 4.
Obviously games like Bad Company allow you to have more on the same team however critically, squads can only be 4 players which makes co-ordination trickier and given that we are a friendly bunch we are mostly trying to avoid competitive games.
There has been some discussion in the forums about games that could allow us to play with more than 4 players co-operatively however our attempts so far have met with mixed results.
Any one else found a solution to this problem?
Below is a list of some of the suggestions our group has made so far:
- Age of Empires (1, 2 & 3)ArmA
- Artemis
- Baldurs Gate
- Burnout Paradise
- Civilization (3, 4 & 5)
- Counter Strike
- Dawn of War (1 & 2)
- DC Online
- Diablo 2
- Dino D-Day
- Dungeon Siege
- Hiddern & Dangerous 2
- Icewind Dale
- Killing Floor
- Loki: Heroes of Mythology
- Marathon Infinity
- Mechwarrior 4
- Open TTD (Transport Tycoon)
- Rainbow Six
- Sacred 2
- Serious Sam (1, 2 & 3)
- Silverfall
- Supreme Commander
- SWAT (3 & 4)
- Team Fortress 2
- Titan Quest
- World in Conflict
The biggest challenge seems to be finding something that is readily available and isnt a complete nightmare to a) get running on modern machines and b) still has support for multiplayer
If there are any other suggestions I am definitely interested in hearing them!
I have some other games that could be fun but not awesome: EVE Online and Minecraft.
The one I think we should really try to setup is NHL. It would be awesome if we could get it running in coop. I need to take a look into it with more time.
Apart from that, I think the best is yet to come:
Planetside 2, Project Zomboid, Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3.
Planetside 2 for sure… I think that Torchlight will only support 4 players. Not sure about Diablo
