I am looking for some inspiration in finding a few new PC games for multiplayer.

Some of my favourites that I play with semper, iron duke and my flatmate have been:

-LOTR: Battle for middle earth 2 (+ expansion)
-Star Wars: Empire at war (+ expansion)
-Sins of a Solar Empire
-Hearts of Iron 2
-Counter Strike Source

What are your favourite's? and what would you recommend for a small group to play?

I have Age of Empires but never played it online... :?

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Starcraft: Brood War

I haven't played RoC in a while but I think it's better than the expansion tFT because all people play online in that is DotA (custom games at least) now... literally, and it's a pretty dumb game in my opinion. You can still play the actual game, non-player created maps, and it's fun :D.

I've never played either of those maps, never even seem 'em hosted!!! I play Helms Deep infrequently but it's kinda boring. I played LotR maps on Warcraft and I pretty much owned... never lost xD

In no particular order

Doom 1 & 2
Quake 2 & 3
Aliens Vs Predator 2
Homeworld 1 & 2
Total Annihilation
Red Alert
Serious Sam 1 & 2
Freespace 2
any of the UT iterations
the Painkiller games

I'm sure if i think of any more i'll add em but that should be more than enough for several days hard deathmatching & co-op play, at least on hard/nightmare settings.

Have to agree with Empedocles starcaraft Broad war was fun but looking forward to starcraft 2 but the red alerts were good too.

Ya well I lost my collection of maps for WCIII so I could host 'em if I got 'em but no one would join, the best games were TD ones and Vampirism was pretty fun too, among many others.

I really am looking forward to SC2 as well :-D. Should be pretty awesome.
