Anyone play PC games online

hey people i thought that we could make a server for online gaming which would be on a certain game that most people had and then have a password so only us modelers play against each other

what are your thoughts?

might be a bit difficult with so many types of games out there .

but feel free to try .

well

i play online games but i think it will be no go as you need a pretty big connection to run a server

unless it is paid for

but again

people would have to be willing to pay

yes but what you could also do is create a certain online game which is password protected and so then all of us can just play it when the main person who has set up the game is playing

i understand that but it will have to be a rented server as uk internet connections arent fast enough to host a server

that is what im getting at

yea someone used to do that witha cod server with about the same number but assson as he did anything on the net like just normal surfing and posting etc the pings fluxuate wild and you would get lag spikes

Hiya guys, I host a Battlefield2 server currantly with multiplay, it costs our members £2.50 a month and we obviously can run the games/maps/mods/rules that we prefer. If anybody is intrested then just let us know, always looking for more players and i know anybody off these boards will be cool!
