Widescreen Gaming Forum

I'm looking to start hosting WS & Surround friendly gaming servers. Looking at the services out there, I am leaning towards Game Servers:

http://www.gameservers.com/

If you have any suggestions or recommendations for a service, and for games to host, please let me know. I'm interested in hosting 4-6 ~16 players games.

Thanks for your input and feedback.

I like this idea. Suggested Games:

TF2
UT3

Certainly sounds like a good idea. Let's set up an event and see how many people will show. Also, can you post the relevant info (not sure what would be necessary) and I can post some info about the new server in the left nav.

Already have TF2 up on a private box.

Check your ping by adding homepc.cynagen.com:27016 to your favorites. It's a solid box, and it's on my home connection which just got the speed upped to 2mbps out, so it's more than enough to handle 16 players, and I never turn it off. So best part about this is, free.

Ouch, dood - I just got 2000ms latency.

But I'm at work, so their firewall might be shagging the latency.

I haven't checked it out yet, Ill do it later when I am on a PC that has Steam (another person has seized control of that PC)

homepc.cynagen.com:27016

Just a note. Copy pasting this address into xfire does not work. It only works in steam favorites.

100MS ping for me on cynas server

OK, it must have been the work firewall that was doing it. I get a (more reasonable) 187ms latency at home.

I would join in with you guys but I don't have TF2

If we run HL2:DM or any source mods you can count me in, unless I shell out the money for TF2 at some point (might get the 80 dollar source game pack)

I couldn't join earlier because it said the server was unavailable. Most likely because I had to share bandwidth with a sibling streaming 20 episodes of Avatar over youtube. But now I get this:
