What games will you be playing at rAge?

[Camp_Master]

I'm gonna Play DOTA and i heard we're getting a LAN version of HON from s2 games.
Anybody know anything about this?

Yeah, Its out . . .

[diablo(za)]

Just bought 2 copies of BF2 one for me and on for my friend.
Hope we'll be playing lots of BF2 :)

COD4 is just too much to buy 2 copies just for NAG LAN though

Bring it on China Boi! Those lazers I'm packing are not for Disco Stu, they are to clean you out.

I've got the Steam version of SSHD 2 and so does 2 others friends of mine so we can game on!

[Cleric]

Great, hit me up on one of the DC chat servers and we'll make a plan. (also got the Steam versions)

Oh I'll bring it on like Donkey Kong!

[Migs]

eDuke Nukem 3D has to be on the cards as well...

[phant1m]

Uhmmmmm, why is Starcraft 2 not on the list? :D Since James did say there will be internet for games I am sure SC2 will be played.

[Tankiouse]

As far as I understand SC2 can not be lanned and requirers battle net to play any form of multiplayer. Thus you will probably not play against people in the dome and since there will be 2080 lanners the ping will be greater than the great wall of china.

[SL1C3R]

As Far as i can understand this is the same problem with BFBC2,as there is no LAN support.Correct me if i am wrong though

[phant1m]

Tank: there will be an internet connection which is why I said that we can play it prolly.

[Tankiouse]

Yes but Im saying unless people at the dome make an effort to play against other people in the dome, like organising matches or something, then chances are u might play against frikie in Vereeniging.

[Reforged]

The chances of playing Starcraft is gona be as good as imposible as far as im concerned. As Tankiouse said. Because there is no lan option, unlike the other games like those on steam. You just need internet for validation on them, but Starcraft 2 needs permanent connection which = ping + 2000 lanners= MASSIVE ping. Thus rendered useless 10 to 1.

[phant1m]

I am extremely certain that a comp will be hosted with a separate internet conn. But yeah whatever happens we will see.

[Tankiouse]

I am extremely certain that a comp will be hosted with a separate internet conn.

And if you are that certain why ask? Theres dought in your mind young padawan.

[phant1m]

Not really. Since I know that internet will be provided just not sure how stable it will be for playing SC2.

[Tankiouse]

So we had a discussion on the internet for rAge. It will only be used for authentication of games. Browsing of sites will be limited to sponsors websites (think Intel, HP, NAG). No gaming as such will be made available online. So you won't be able to join a SAIXs game. You won't be able to update your windows or antivirus. Just in case somebody wonders why, because if your machine was updated before the event, it should be good for three days. If not, we do not want to utilize the bandwidth for updating 2000+ machines.

This post comes from 'Things to know for rAge 2010' and the bold underlined words say that you are wrong LOL.

[phant1m]

Well sorry then since I thought they would be using it for SC2. But I guess I may be wrong in that SC2 is going to be played.
