    Our next gaming event will be this Feb, no firm date as of yet. At the last gaming day it was suggested that we play a strategy game.

    Suggestions so far:

    Warcraft (versions?)
    Starcraft

    Ideas? If we get 20 people (our goal) we may have to do a 10 on 10 BF1942 for awhile and then switch to two groups for the strategy game.

    Sign up form will be available once we iron out the date. Free pizza and drinks as well as a nice competition (or door) prize.

    Ok, Battlefield 1942 would be great. Warcraft is good too. Lets announce in advance what version everyone needs to play and where to get the patches, if necessary. Also to get as much time in as possible, should we say what time "setup" should be?
    Like 11:00-11:30.
    Is there anything I can do to help promote this event?

    Call of duty! {drool!}

    I just started messing with Halo, but haven't tried multiplayer... Halo ROCKS so far...

    And if someone wants to try something really fun and free, take a look at Scorched3D: http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/

    "Scorched 3D is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems."

    This game single-handidly brought down my project team's productivity at work by 30% :D

    Yes, Call of Duty is fantastic. My vote goes to that or 1942.

    What are the hours? I wanna play! But I have a commitment later that evening. As long as we're done by 4ish, I should be okay.

    11am-5pm. It's by no means anything formal, if you have to leave early - it's cool with everyone.

    I REALLY enjoy flight sims like LOMAC and IL2:Forgotten Battles in multiplayer. Would anybody be interested in engaging in a friendly dogfight? Even the planes in Battlefield are fun, though the flight model is greatly relaxed. Perhaps us Aviators can use the LAN when everybody else is done getting their faces out of the mud ;). Hyperlobby works good buy if you don't go in with a wingman, someone will flame your 6.

    I just wanted to say that my son and I had a great time playing with you all on Saturday.
    I hope to make it to one of the Tuesday meetings soon.
    Also if anyone is interested, if you want a great place to play MoH, CoD or BF 1942, go to www.bestgamefiles.com.
