Looking through Steam, realizing I'm broke, I (re) stumble upon Half Life 2 mods. Many of which are multi-player. I'm not sure if there's anyone playing them out there or not and being low on hard drive space, I'm reluctant to download then delete when I realize there's no one around. I'm sure a few of you have had this same thought or something similar to it. Then I noticed half of my friends list owns Half Life 2. Many of which are from these very forums.

So! I came to a not-so-brilliant realization. We could play them together! What I want to do is get a group of people from these forums to download one of these multi-player mods and play together. Perhaps once or twice a week, more if there's the demand. We can use this thread to organize.

If you're interested, please post your Steam user name. Once there's a few names on the list, we'll choose a mod and pick a day and time to play it. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome!

Well this could be interesting I guess.

<--Username.

I'd be up for it.
<---Username.

Heh, out of the three of us we all have the same names as here. :spotted owl:

Our names rock! Well, except for yours because I can't find you on Steam :sadvaultboy: I already have Suffca and was gonna add you. Are you sure your Steam name is SimpsonFly?

I'll have to see how our new ISP is. Getting it all installed on the 9th. If my ping is better than on this current connection, I'll play.

Steam: iGuess27

You can add him from my friends list.

Done! :celebration: OP updated.

I never know what my schedule is so I might be able to play and I might not. Steam name is Lemunde.

Im up for it
Shiftyanbaov <---- Steam user name.

IIRC Povuholo's pretty knowledgable about HL2 mods, see if you can get him involved

Steam name is SpeedOfSam

Depends on the mods and my schedule, but it sounds like a good idea to me!

Steam ID: tyraarane.

Not really, I only know a few single player ones. Dear Esther, Minerva Metastasis... Uh... Yeah. Heard a bit of others, never played them.

We used to have an Alien Swarm thread, that game was pretty cool.

Yeah it is. I never played it much due to not having anyone to play with.

Sounds great, 'account name' is liam118 'profile name' is the same as my current name to the left. None of my friends have a PC, all laptops and netbooks that they never use I'm lonely
Can play whenever after Friday, revising for biology.

username is hasserix. I have very nostalgic memories of Dystopia personally, but that may just be... well, nostalgia.

If I have some free time, I'll probably play.

If anyone wants to get their butt kicked playing the most important Half-Life 2 mod (i.e. CS:S), let me know.

Updated OP. I couldn't find some of you on Steam. Check your user-names to make sure they're correct. I know sometimes Steam is a jerk about finding people. If you didn't get a friend invite from me, try to find me and invite me. If you can't find me, but can find Suffca, find me through him. That seems to work well =P

Last night, I went searching for a fun mod to play. I found one through the Steam program called 'Zombie Master'. Think Left4Dead + Portal. There's up to 16 players per server (And there are around 15 active servers that I could tell). 15 of those people will assume the role of survivor. The other one will be the zombie master and see the map from an over-head perspective as he controls hoards of zombies. There seems to be a couple unspoken rules about being zombie master. Mainly, don't spam so many zombies that the survivors have no chance. Let them have just a taste of freedom before killing them. :goodjob:

If anyone else has any suggestions for mods, speak now or...Err...Or...Nothing, I guess. We'll play Zombie Master!

Plan to game tonight. I'll be available from 11pm EST (8pm PST) 'till late. IM me here or on Steam if you have any questions.

TL;DR - I can't find some names. Zombie Master is a kickass mod. We'll be playing it first. The first time we'll be playing is tonight, 11pm EST (8pm PST). Questions or concerns? IM me here or on Steam. Thank you.

My name on Steam is tomd243... I have no idea why, but nowadays I use the name The UberJuntti.

I used to play Insurgency mod quite a bit but then ended up playing other games instead. I should give it another go at some point but I can't really run it on my laptop so I wouldn't even be able to play it for awhile.

I haven't played it in years, but if Hidden: Source is still around, I think it'd be a fun one to play with y'all. For those of you who don't know, the concept is that there is one "Hidden" who is mostly invisible (think 95% chameleon) who is equipped with a knife, and 8 others, equipped with guns, who have to hunt down and kill the Hidden. It was so much fun back in the day, but it sort of died out. :shrug:

Everyone here American huh... I hate timezones.

As do I. 11 PM sounds rather late. And it's especially late (Or should I say early) if you live anywhere across the Atlantic Ocean. :/

So ladies and gentlemen, I'm stuck in traffic. Looks like I wont be around for a little while. If anyone is interested in rather late zombie killing, hit me up on Steam when you see me
