I'd love to meet denxi at a lan.
MY LOGIC IS NOT FLAWED?!!??!?!?!?!!?
/people get thrown through tables.
gl with starting a lan when half the people who play this game can't get a grasp of the english language, let alone buy plane tickets to attend an event they'll most likely get beat up in. -

speaking of grasping the english language... how can you have a lan game when there is no dedicated server program?....
just a bunch of people in a room together connecting to a web based game server is NOT A LAN party....
might as well just all get on the same vent and play. not quite the same but still. The point of a LAN is not just the unified exp. but also the point of unified ping. one with out the other is just not the same.
LAN= local area network.
lan party= game hosted on and contained within a local area network.
and before u rage, i could care less what u think. ive been hosting lans sense before a great deal of you were even gaming. i dont care what the "console raised" generation of gamers thinks. A lan is a LAN and it can't be something else. -

If all the players are in the same room using the same internet, they will have unified ping... -

FYI the modern day definition of a lan party isn't really so strict.
These days almost all games can't be played local. I'd hate to see you get flamed for making a comment like this over on the League of Legends forum, or the Starcraft 2 forum, or heck even WoW... Even a game like Team Fortress 2 which can still be hosted locally, is probably still better played on a hosted server (unless the person who's hosting has an awesome pc).
Anyways, having said all that. Let us know if you decide to hold a party to play CF, take some pictures have a great time. Post it on the forums. Maybe we can throw some extra fun your way! You never know until you try! -

point taken, but i guess i am a dinosaur and choose to ignore it :-).....
calling something it is not just seems strange. maybe we should come up with a new term for a group of gamers playing locally on a remote server.... seems like a better idea instead of redefining a term that has only been in existence for less then 20 years. how bout we think about this...
local players
remote game server...
LPRGS?
LPS?.....
LANrs
ReGP
rsLAN
.... i like that...
rsLAN party...... urban dictionary here i come. -

It's still a local area network, even if the computers are accessing a remote server. LANs can communicate with WANs. Quake one of the biggest lan games of all time in the current form is browser based. How would that fall into your lan scheme?
not that im using wikipedia as a reliable source, but...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_party
"The group can play together in another server as well if they wish as long as they are in the same LAN."
"When some of the participants cannot be present or when merging a few LAN parties together, VPN software such as Hamachi can be used to arrange computers over the Internet so they appear to be on the same LAN." -

We took a poll in January and the response was good. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw some sort of official Cross Fire lan in 2011. But as of right now there's no concrete word on it. But there are plenty of ideas and options we're looking in to. -

I know, I was responding to that thread a lot... But I felt like the idea just got forgotten about so I felt like bringing it up again.

Any way of getting a CF server to borrow for a lan (would have to be a major lan or tournament of course, not just some kid at his house hosting one)? iD has lent out a box for a few events for Quake Live before.
