Quake 3.
Deathkarz.
Micro Machines 3.
Soul Calibur 2, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.

How many friends? If you've got lots, I'd say Tribes/Tribes 2.

As you can probably tell from my comments, I don't believe games need to be modern to still be a s***load of fun with the right group.

I like ~8 for FPS games, 4 would be an ok number for RTS games.

Warcraft, C&C, Starcraft (Old, but still good!) and others alike.
Could get some good Team/Tower Defence with 4 people.

and lastly, if it's a late night lan, get the mod Hidden:source beta and hook it up. Man that s*** is awesome fun with 9 people in a room.

Is Hidden:source anything like that source server side mod where you morphed into objects from a CS map and hid? That was a hilarious game.

Yeah, AoE2, if you only wanted to play one game for a 48 hour lan, in which nobody attacks anyone. And have the Lan finish before a single game does.

Nah not that I know of. Hidden: source is where you get 8 guys walking around shooting at something nearly invisible that can kill in one hit.

L2flush noob, get then by the 12 - 13 minute mark before castle age. Castle in ~18 minutes with a foward base and they're f***ED.

I know you said no d2, but a lot of fun is D2 Iron core. You all pull a character out of a hat, and start the game on hardcore. Rules are your not allowed to go back to town except to hand in a quest for the reward, and thus you cannot buy anything in town or heal (unless you are handing in a quest to akara etc, this is deemed part of the quest reward). When you hit level 9 you must hostile. Its a massive royal rumble. Good challenging game. You need to ration pots and think about the equipment you pick up. Ironically you quite often get a unique item, but cant use it for want of an ID scroll! Last man standing wins!

If anyone manages to kill andy they also win (But no 1 person is gonna be able to do that by themselves in a 7 player game). If they did, they would be the only person allowed to go to act 2 and level to like 25 before coming back and obliterating everyone else. <-- would make for a boring game. Generally, last man standing wins.

Game lasts a few hours, some die to monsters, most end up in a giant royal rumble. People who die can go start an fps server (provided theyre not hosting the d2 game or itll quit everyone remaining... [Jabroney...]).

For the FPS I recommend AVP2, its a lot of fun creeping up on walls behind people and smashing them as an alien. Check it out

sacks lan was a success.

Trackmania Forever LAN = the win, hooked up my USB arcade joystick for awesome racing action.

Serious Sam 2 is massive LOL, never played it before, after 5 levels of that and like 100,000 monsters we were all f***ed.

Battlefield is always good fun, me and Phooks were pwning the other c***s but the game scoring was rigged.

KKND wouldn't work :(

Also leeched a nice 70gb of s***e.
