Online Game keys - Ajarn Forum

Anonymous · 28th October 2004, 18:07

I've found it very easy recently with having 24/7 true adsl and using bit torrents to download games but.....they bore me after a while if there is no human element in them...ie I like ONLINE games.Yet it's very difficult to get hold of serial keys.

What online games(or ip to ip(friends comp to my comp)) can you recommend that either

a, let you play online without a serial key(maybe on private servers)
b, has an easy workaround to the serial key problem
c, is a free game to start with and doesn't need any key(better standards than yahoo pool though)

I've managed to play one games of doom3 so far on a cracked server then was never able to find the server again :sad:

I've played Americas Army a lot since it came out in late 2002. It's free, can only be played online, but you are able to practice offline. IMO, it's a fantastic game, but you need a fast computer and graphic card to play it.
Mind you, it's a 750 MB download unless you want to fork out the $$ to have it mailed to you on a cd

Cheers D2K....that's what im talking about or is there a catch(i seem to remember the sayig 'u dont get anything for free' or something like that).

What type of game is it before I download it? Is it a 1st person shoot em up, role playing game etc ?

It's a tactical 1st person shooter, Jon. It's quite a tough game. Personally, I never really got into it, but you may.

Good review here:

In this particular case, jonboy, you do get something for free. A bloody brilliant game at that.
However, as Earlyant says, it's not easy. You'll have to qualify (practice) before you can start playing for real, and then when you start you'll get slaughtered many a time before you're able to really get into the game. Watch and learn! And enjoy

Another first person shooter army game is call of duty.
it's brilliant but you'll finish it in a week. i had a great id year break with it.
Has anyone played the expansion pack for it.
united offensive. is that out in bangkok pantip and places yet?

^ I'm playing it now. Just as good and fast paced as the first game, if not better. More vehicles and weapons to use. But like the original game, heavily scripted. It's shorter than the original, so if you want to get more time out of it, don't play it on the Greenhorn difficulty level.

According to the wife, the game is easy to find at Pantip.

If you want to play online, splash out on the Original. Not a copy.

Just a few more comments about Call Of Duty UO:

The game is short and the action so fast paced, you should be able to get through it within 10 hours.

In some levels, there is so much going on that it could slow down your graphics card performance.

I've heard of problems playing the game with the latest ATI Catalyst drivers.
