System Shock 2 Halloween Night

[BaneNWN]

Me,aku,dbs and my g/f were thinking of playing co-op on halloween nigh.realize the game is old but is still th scariest game to date and figured it would be cool to do this for halloween.If anyone is interested reply to this within 2 weeks iF we get enough people will make 2 seprate servers depending on the # we get.Its 4 player co-op but if we get 7-8 we would have 2 servers.Just a thought to get the VGR people together since alot of us havent gamed with eachother in a long time.Alot of you i havent gamed with since way back playing UT 2004 2 years ago.More on co-op system shock 2.ill post files here if we get enough interested

There will only be four player cooperative, who will play the game as if it were single player, but there were four (or two or three) grunts put in stasis, rather then one. The contant of the game will be altered to fit the number of players (so there will be two, three, or four times the number of enemies, nantines, weapons, etc). You WILL be able to hurt eachother with your guns, so there's nothing stopping you from turning it into a fragfest, you just can't win the game that way.

Interesting. SS2 Coop isn't that hot but it's nice to try something for a change. I've also forgotten most of the game so it should still be fresh to play.

will be up late man anytime u wanna join let us know.not sure if were doing it halloween maybe the weekend before.ill have more info as time gets closer.also ill show u the patches to get.i dont think you need the rebirth mod as i think thats optional.probably the only thing you will need is the texture pack and the multiplayer patch

[Ocelot]

Late night gaming is what I do best. I'm off that weekend (28/29) so it works for me. The only upgrades I've made to the game are the graphical upgrade mods and the 1.1 patch.

Ok heres the plan we will probably start oct 20th then play 21st ,27th, 28th, 29th or until we beat the game.Aku was telling me the game takes about 25 hours to beat and seems the way it works is i can save the game but we all ahve to go through the initial training together.there will be a starting time every night and you have to be there at start time or get a hold of me on icq.The starting times will be 7 pm central the nights listed above.ill leave more info as time goes on but for now this is the plan

[Ocelot]

My only problem is that from the 20th to the 25 I am on nightshift, but I start at 11pm (my time) except for Sat and Sun I start at 7pm. So unless I bring my PC to work (Mochan Knows all about that) or find a way to install the game on the PC at work I might not be able to play those 2 nights.:mad2:

From the 26 to the 31 I am off.

Bane and I played the co-op last night and it's a kick. It's not as scary when there's two of you running around the Von Braun - the sense of aloneness is gone. But it's still fun and pretty funny at times. A zombie chasing you down a lonely corridor is pretty scary; a zombie chasing after two of you down the same corridor is kind of slapstick. The only thing is, it doesn't seem to give the extra items, including skill points, like I thought it would. So with four people, you get strength in numbers but individually I don't think we'll be as strong. And with crates and dead bodies, it's first come-first serve. The game wasn't really meant for co-op. But...you can take items from your inventory and give them to other players. Also, in MP it defaults to hard, so it will be a fairly hard game to beat. But you can progress a lot faster even with two people than with one. With four, best that two are marines, one is a hacker, and one is a psionic. Have the hacker train up in hacking and weapon repair right away.

Anyone who's playing, you need to get the official patch for the game, the shtup texture pack, the SS2 Rebirth Complemented mod, and the SS2 multiplayer fix patch, which is just a different executable to run the game from. Check out ttlg and strangebedfellow.com to get these.

Ya i dunno man i got pretty damn scared of looking at your character.Its pretty freaky though when i die and i have to find you again and theres a stinking shotgun zombie right on my arse.heck i just run him right to you and watch you do all the work lol.

[Aku]

They say four guys with wrenches can beat this game, but I wouldn't want to face a rumbler or one of those floating jellyfish things with a wrench, lol.

Oh yeah, with four people it will be hard to know who to give things to, since we all look the same, heh.

Cool, It shouldn't be a problem anyway I'll either install the game at work or just bring my HD to work. Better connection here anyway

OK system shock 2 will be hosted oct 28th and october 29th the weekend before halloween.Then it will be hosted every friday evening after that until we finish the game.or if someone else has a better idea or this simply will not work for them let me know.nothings set in stone yet and unless we get a server full i doubt ill do it.so anyone who is sure they can play then let me know,and either i or aku will give you the patches you need.probably better off if aku did it i lost the links and they were hard for me to find to begin with.
