Yup, I'm sure you all can't wait, well the next LANarchy event will be...

10am Saturday 17th May

While we will be keeping the CoD4 theme for this LAN, we will likely have a CSS competition again. As well as these two, I'm sure plenty of Team Fortress 2, Company of Heroes and maybe some Unreal Tournament 3 will also be played.

Lanarchy events do now of course have an internet connection. Please make sure your steam games are up to date and run in offline mode.

The event will start at 10am and go on until 10pm as usual. There is free parking right outside, and with it being only 3 or 4 minutes from both the M25 and M1, it's a nice easy venue to get to from most of London and the Midlands.

The Costs

A full day of fun with the Lanarchy peeps is only Ł12 payable on the door. If you want to save a little, you can pay Ł10 in advance using a variety of methods. If you are contributing Ł10 or more to the running of Lanarchy, you get the further reduced rate of Ł7 for the day, but this is required in advance.

LAN Payments are non refundable or transferable.

The time has come...

10am Saturday 17th November

Event Details

As with most Lanarchy events, the main theme of the LAN will be Counter Strike Source and hopefully now some Team Fortress 2. We will try and squeeze in some Company of Heroes, Battlefield 2 a bit of UT2004, maybe Quake Wars ET.

Lanarchy events do now of course have an internet connection, but we had huge problems with this at the last event. Please make sure your steam games are up to date and run in offline mode.

The event will start at 10am and go on until 10pm as usual. There is free parking right outside, and with it being only 3 or 4 minutes from both the M25 and M1, it's a nice easy venue to get to from most of London and the Midlands.

They have given us two great prizes which will be raffled away at the end of the LAN, a 5.1 Medusa Headset and a MS Wireless Laser Mouse -

As the Assault server seems to have died, and none of us really liked it anyway, I've put up a Fortress Forever server on 195.20.109.130:27025 :thumbs:

Let me know what you think!]]> http://www.lanarchy.co.uk/viewtopic.php?topic=9628 Medal of Honor: Airborne demo out Sat, 25 Aug 2007 14:30:36 +0000 /portal.php?topic_id=9536
The game has amazing and very detailed graphics - dozens of things will be going on at any given time on your screen, with airplanes going down in flames, enemies trying to flank you (the A.I. is quite good), your squad mates yelling and running about, not to mention the fact that the lighting is spot on.

Sound is quite good - realistic, and unlike any previous WW2 FPS games, you don't feel like you're playing the leading role in the next Saving Private Ryan You actually feel like you are in the war.

I seriously recommend this to any serious FPS gamer - the game is well worth playing, and below I have added some links to the 1.3 gig demo download for your convenience Wink

Well, according to Doug Lombardi, Valve's PR guy, Episode 2 "will be closer to 8 hours of gameplay" while Episode 1 had only about six hours of gameplay.

Also, he goes on to say that the development cycle for Episode 2 had shortened a bit, from 18 months on Eps 1 to about 13-14 months for Episode 2. “Episode 1 took 18 months to complete and Episode 2 will end up being about 13 to 14 months, so we’re trimming it down,” he said. “I think we’ll get closer to a year and be on a 12 month cycle. We’ll see how it goes after this trilogy is done.”

On another note, Valve are also working on getting some enhanced community features such as personalized stats and scores rankings for player profiles. “The idea is to add features so that people can build a community in Steam,” he said. “We’ll be rolling out the changes some time this spring.”

Still waiting for Episode 2 and TF2? Well your best bet would be buying the Black Box, which contains Valve's newest games, namely Episode 2, TF2, and Portal.
